Becky in her TR7V8 getting the drop on Pete's TR6 Becky did a run in the 15's on the Sunday morning!	A New Cornish Drag Strip Queen Run What Ya Brung, Portreath, Standing Quarter, 21st June 2003. Congratulations to Becky who recorded a time of 16.26 secs on her second run in 'HOT 151N' TR7V8. Blasting off the line to leave Pete's TR6 trailing and then a close run with a 1300 Kawasaki Westfield Special. Well done! The morning saw four TR's: Rob's 2, Phil's 4, Pete'e 6 and Becky's 7V8 take on the drag strip into a strong head wind and problematic timing machine which was very flattering on speeds and maybe out on actual time.
