OK... photos that i have put up are at: http://www.landbarge.com/index.php?name=co...ls&album=19 Like I said, there's not a huge number of them, so if you're expecting to see your car in there, you'll probably be dissapointed, but hey... I was there for the cruise... it was only kate's second cruise in her own car, the first being the ACE Ford Cruise this year and a completely different situation.... she had a great time, as did I... tho we didn't hang around at the end long, we bailed for a burger at Alfreds Thanks to Paul and everyone who helped organise it, it was a great cruise.

what she said... i knew exactly where we were going.... in the end only 1 car followed us to Roe highway, but by the time we got to turned off Welshpool road we had about half a dozen cars behind us.... so we can't have been too far behind? btw, i'll be putting up some of the handful of photos i took.... wasn't going nuts with the camera, i think i only have about 26 shots i'm happy enough to put online...

Were you driving the Stage on the night? I saw at least one there that I didn't manage to get photos of.... I'm sorry... I try to get shots of as many different cars as possible, but I will always end up missing at least a couple of cars over the night...

I have a few pics up at http://www.highoctanephotos.com/circuit too :-)

Consider this.... John Zappia, holder of the world Doorslammer ET record at 5.922 seconds, sits on the right hand side of the car.... a lot of the lhd cars you see are US build cars with local bodies on them... or just straight out US cars..... some are converted and I'm sure everyone who does the conversion has a reason for it.... but if Zap can run 5's sitting on the right hand side of the car, i don't see it as essential...

kates rb20det auto kicked down from 4th on the freeway today and is refusing to go into 4th or reverse now.... 1st 2nd and 3rd appear to be working fine.. hoping desparately to find an electrical problem with it tonight, but more realistically looking for a replacement box now...

i'm a member of both AFARCC and WASCC... Both are CAMS affiliated, so you can get your CAMS license through them... Both run wanneroo track days, but the AFARCC ones cost about $100 each and happen twice a year, while the WASCC ones happen about 4 times a month and cost about 40 bucks a day (it helps that the WASCC own the track ) WASCC membership also gets you into all the race meetings, including the V8 Supercars and the SuperTrucks and all WASCC run drift events... AFARCC membership gets you cheap entry into our AHG skidpan days, our Wanneroo track days and our Collie days, plus invites to our cruises and social events (like the pub crawls we run once or twice a year)

i wonder if this will be like the Drag Combat series... run it for a few years, get bored, ditch it and leave the competitors stranded...

we stock Blaupunkt at work and seeing as k8 (my gf) has just picked up a 32 gts-t with a stock headunit and a missing front speaker, we might be testing out a bit of their gear shortly...

And yes, I was actually quite keen to see a decent turnout from SAU... You guys have quite a few impressive cars, and the effort you guys put into the [cabin] events was really great to see... I get a bit sh***y around events like this, cos I spend all season taking photos at the plex, and don't get me wrong, i get into every class that runs, from the junior dragsters to the top fuellers... But I've been into Jap cars since before i got my learners.. and when the Motorplex puts on an event like this one, and the turnout is like it was... It's pretty depressing...

Butters: yep... Jimmah: I beleive Carlz first run was a 12.15?

Geeze.... what happened to SAuWA? you guys used to be everywhere... i guess a fully scrubbed and prepped track, perfect conditions for turbo cars and trophies on offer all for not much more than a wednesday night meet, doesn't interest you guys anymore?

djr: yes, i do, email me at fil @ highoctanephotos.com with the details if you're keen, and I'll check out the original and let you know what can be done...

Here's my photos from the night... Not sure how many other people were signed on as media.. I only saw Furious Imports filming (plus myself taking photos) http://www.highoctanephotos.com/index.php?...bnails&album=42
