thats unusual cause when i was reading my local messenger, they had an article on the nats which stated that its a good ahead despite the drama's they are currently dealing with. could be a publicity stunt simply to keep enthusiast happy and themselves out of hot water.

the following ANDRA sanctioned drag racing events have been deferred until new dates are set.Four, Six and Rotary Nationals - February 25th& 26th Super Charged Outlaws /Pro Stock /Pro Bike - March 18th

It was on Feb 25&26, it is now postponned indefinately, as is the Supercharged outlaws..

Unfortunately I've been looking for these improvements ever since I knew there is a drag strip in SA :( It doesn't look like there will be any more legal offstreet drag racing for the rest of this year :(

I think I will take the new job offer.........Willowbank here I come :P

Check out the weather atm

The police could not be too happy about adelaides only legal drag strip being out of action for too long. You would think they/government might be able to contribute to get the place operational considering alot of young hoons would now be doing it on the roads!!!!! (where else are they going to go). I beleive it would greatly reduce the amount of street racing in the long term.

Perhaps another way the gov can save lives on roads (besides buying another speed camera! -hehehehe) would be too build a couple of drag strips that are open to the public at very little cost. That way people could race in a controlled environment that is relatively safe and would keep them from doing it on the streets - as often. May be a little expensive at first to set up but then again in tradeoff how much is a life(s) worth? Surely it wouldnt cost too much to maintain a strip of road and a couple of safety marshalls -- charge 5 -10 bucks a run recover some of the costs.

So you'd leave the state just because the drag racing track timing system is being upgraded?!?!?

Freebaggin, nah it's just the last straw on the descision scale.

Better work prospectus, better weather and drag racing 2x per week all year round. I have not given my definite answer yet but I am tipping QLD for now.

I am going to miss some great friends and people in SA. Hope to see you guys at the Jamboree and Indy.

9krpm, QLD and Gold Coast absolutely rocks. I would highly recommend the re-location. Have spent a few years there myself and loved it.

I wish I hadn't asked, full of rednecks, dills and yobbos from what I've seen.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
