i wanna see pics of this pls. jarrad should of gone to town on this, but chickened out and down graded!!! :yes:

 

lol

not only has he down-graded, but jarrad's also pulled out!! something about family not being able to speak and arriving today/tonite. i suggested to him that they should all pile in the back of the waggs and come down anyway :P

 

i'll get some nice pics for you GZE, and maybe another vid of it being beaten...

damn family! he just doesnt wanna loose face coz the wags wont crack a 20 :yes: jk! I'm goin, cyas soon

Hey didn't know this was happening, i was there last night and thought "Shit! there's a Twinkie with a Rollaclub sticker on it"

 

Who owns it? 15.8et isn't to bad :yes:

as above BTS, that is nobblers old twinky...my mate luke bought it, put a stock bigport in place of the busted 16v/20v hybrid.

 

i'm hoping to pull the 20 off the road for a bit, i want to swap gearboxes, and what better time than now, since my front uni joint decided to give way last nite :P i got a benchmark time of 18.85 so i'm happy i broke 20secs :cool: big thanks to cam for the ride home, cutting short his night to help me out. :yes:

i went to upload some pics from my camera on sunday, and couldn't find my cable, so i have nothing interesting...

 

just a shot of my busted front uni. the complete tailshaft next to it is form a ke35...if only it would bolt up to the 20's diff :wink:

 

twas a good night. should organise a cruise to heathcote park sometime.. only problem is it would be a long drive if people bust their cars there :wink:

 

luke left his pump in my car too. someone left a black screwdriver in the back also..

me vs tate

 

Bah, missed another event! Ohwell, next one! *fingers crossed*

Whens the next trip to calder planned? :)

Yeah id be up for the next night too! Cruiseee haha

I'm not that fussed with calder to tell ya the truth. $65 gorillas, for 1 minute of racing if your lucky, its full of swedes, and the officials are very unforgiving to the newbies (because of the swede factor), and drag racing just isnt that challenging. the open piped big blocks are a bit heavy on the ears, but ill put up with that cos the cars are pretty awesome.

 

id go on a cruise to calder, but wouldnt enter a car again.. but thats just me :)

 

heathcote park or a winton fun day on the other hand..

 

to put it into comparison, an autocross/khanacross/motorkhana, is roughly $35 to enter, you can do it with a street car, with minor additions, and you will get roughly 12x the action.. and ashpalt motorkhanas aside, are alot less stressful on your drivetrain.. they also teach you more about your car and yourself than you will ever safely learn on the track.. did i mention its a little more stimulating/challenging than a drag race.

Yeah a heathcote test and tune day would probably be a better idea. I went to one with a bunch of magna guys and the ammount of runs the boys got in was crazy. Only problem is that its a bit outa the way for people if something goes BANG.

hell yes a track day, that would be a hell of a lot of fun :hmm: :y: :jamie:

can't wait to see the Wagoon in a big... uncontrolable power slide! :jamie:

 

Might need some power first.

 

Actually, I would like to get back into some racing... if only to watch the vids afterwards and see me lookin like I have 8 arms going from lock to lock in the Val!

 

Might just take the Commo... hehe

 

Cam, your right, Drag racing isnt much of a sport in a slow car... but its only what you make of it. I had a ball killing my times when I raced and I only had a best of 16.29! Mind you, in my old Torana it was heaps more fun (and this was on the 1/8th) as it would hit boost and you would be all over the place... like a tarmac slaylom without the hats!

Ballarat runs 1/8th drags out at the airport if you don't mind the bogans!
