Great pic of The President, it makes Duke of Kent almost look like a miniature!

You're a lucky so and so, I wish the sun was like that when I was there

Luck's got nothing to do with it David! Careful planning,and local knowledge of weather systems all plays a part.

2 rallies on the same day made it a bit hectic though.
The President pic is a bit deceiving. the difference has been accentuated by the positioning of the engines. Duke of Kent was well back. Her front wheels were lined up with the rear wheels of The President. Crafty eh?
