    nope! 8o| to gain access to "buses with attitude" you have to run a sub 18sec when there are BWA members present! when i raced at the pod my engine was not long built so could only rev it up to 3500rpm' date=' i managed a 18.68secs. i ran the 16.88secs up here in scotland so no members were here, it was at crail where traction off the line is gash. at the pod i should be running faster as traction is superb off the line. i sent in my printed times but they didn't accept them............. i also sent in a poor video again they didn't accept it!!!!!! here is my evidence!!!!!! :-| ha ha ha [img']
