Not quite the outcome we were hoping for, but what a weekend! 🤩 The Euro Finals at Santa Pod Raceway certainly gave us plenty to smile about, some serious MPH, and lots of memories along the way 🏁
Thursday:
Things got off to a slightly dramatic start when Bill red-lit on the first run 😬 It was the first run with our new transmission set up and he red-lit with a 0.004, so pretty close! But he quickly bounced back and ran an impressive 199 MPH @ 7.54, followed by a 7.45 in Q2 and Q3 😍🙌
Friday:
With the positive vibes flowing after two strong runs on Thursday, Bill stepped it up again and smashed a 200 MPH @ 7.27 in Q4, hitting a brand-new PB in the process! 😮💨🔥
Unfortunately, it wasn't until Bill returned to the pits from Q5, that we encountered some exhaust valve damage which in turn, went into the turbo, so that curtailed our weekend 😫 However all were still in good spirits, as we overcame our transmission and bumping issues earlier on in the season and ran a new PB 🤭🥳
Saturday & Sunday:
With the BMF officially in the sick bay, we kept those positive vibes going throughout the rest of the weekend. We switched gears and got behind our Topspeed street eliminator gang as they battled through their final qualifying rounds👏 We also had the chance to meet so many new faces, chat with everyone stopping by the pits, and watch people check out the Bentley up close. It’s always amazing to see the reaction and enthusiasm from everyone who comes to see the car🥰
So, while it wasn't the outcome we wanted, there were still plenty of highs — a new PB, a 200 MPH pass, an incredible team, and an awesome weekend surrounded by the drag racing family❤️
Thank you to everyone who came to support us, stopped by the pits, and kept the vibes positive. This may be the end of our 2026 season with the BMF, but trust us when we say that we will be coming back better than ever for the 2027 season. There is still plenty to build on and we are already looking forward to next season, and starting to add more power into the Bentley! 💪🔥
