hey guys, been a while, but we have a meeting here in whyalla on the 23 september i think, only about three and half hour drive, its not a bad track, only 1/8 off a track tho i think, some of you may know the track, could find out info if anyones interested.

Heh I work in Whyalla. Whats the deal with this?

Yeh well i just read on NS.com(reliability is a issue there i know) BUT none the less, word on the street is that the guy that owns City Dismantlers has or is buying it from good old Robert Jane, and has plans on re doing the whole circuit which includes running the drag strip differently........ ie away from the sun, which is prob the best idea AIR have had in a Loooooooong time, I hope this rumour is true and they can finnally begin work on the joint, because it would also be good to see some cicuit work done there again as well as a fresh strip, oh and not too mention the facilities in general!

yeah Darren, as I understand it the dude from City Dismantlers and BJ are old enemies, and he has tried to buy AIR before. So, he got a consortium together and signed purchase docs to buy the place under a consortium name .... but then somehow BJ found out the CD dude was involved and has tried to pulll the pin on the sale. So, the place has been in limbo for a fair while, and will continue to be until the courts sort it out.

silly old men kick em to the curb hope the courts rule in favour of CD

man that track so badly needs an upgrade but if the whole track/facilities get upgraded ill have no problem shelling out the beans to go watch sum drags

Any one remember the days of Anzac when they had the car park located at the very end of it.

Car park would be packed full of hoon heads, as ppls would leave burnouts were thrown and scream off through the round about.

Eventually a group of police would walk and drive over shutting down the car park and defecting those within.

I have some fond memorys as a teen....

Anzac drag strip has been around since my old man was a teen. :)

From the info' I've heard August '06 was to be a 'big month' for the Bob Jane vs. Bill Russo court case - hopefully a positive result isn't too far away.

As an interesting aside, my Dad was invited to a dinner earlier this year in Tassie that involved a number of ex-racing drivers - and some current ones. Well blow me down if Dad didn't end up seated next to Jimmy Richards and... cranky old bastard Bob Jane himself! I told the old man he should have told Bob to hurry up and sell AIR so we can have the place renovated! Dad said Bob hasn't changed a bit - he's still a cranky stubborn son-of-a-bitch.

Taken from calaisturbo.com that was taken from ausrotory forums. Probably stated before bbbj :mad: discovered it was bill making the purchase.

This is what i was told today , from a daughter of a prominent TF bike

team owner & who also works for ANDRA

Track should have been sold today to Bill Russo, and has also purchased the land next to Speedway City. Not sure if SC is included.

AIR will be demolished, and a new track will be built, possibly facing the other direction - no more racing into the sun. Admin buildings will be at Speedway City end.

Apparently Tony Thornton,Bill & TF bike owner were discussing ideas over lunch earlier this week.

ONCE AGAIN - TIME WILL TELL

--------------------

do a road trip to whyalla, 23 next month i think,three and half hour drive i mean there will be some preety fearce comp, nah just joking prob just a few hill billys, would be awsome to see a heap of skylines in the pits in stead of these v8s, if any one wants some info i will be happy to find out.

    • 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.
