First time down at the drag strip with M/T Street Radials and they were brand new, couldn't do a decent burnout so the first couple of runs couldn't get traction or bogged down, but by the end of the day the 12's started coming out when i learnt how to launch properly.

I won both my bracket races by default LOL, because both the cars i raced false started guess i'll get a FREE wednesday night pass BONUS!

Had a great time and thank you to all those that organised shame about the weather though.

Very nice day out, although cold.... dont know if the grog run for smoky was a good idea it all was laughs....

ill post my rum shots later hahahaha

I had a couple of 4WD problems that needed to be sorted out, plus a 3rd gear selection problem. Attessa needed to be bled, and the HKS ETC system needs a lot of 'tuning'. On every run, I would either bog off the line, or wheelspin through first and second, and then couldn't engage third gear properly. Still very happy that the car got down the track in once piece as this was the first time I have driven the car after the build.

Thanks to Adam and the V8 Owners Club for a great day.

Congrats to all the new PB's and that it went smoothly, without the problems of the last SAU WSID day.

So did any of you guys beat the ZED?? I heard ZX2NV ran a flat 12 sec pass, not bad for a barge! Anchors away.

Adam, you have now driven an LS1, are you coming over to the dark side???????

Peter.

That thing (his tow car for the rest of you) can just about do burnouts without going over 2000rpm but.... no. hehe. I like the roundy roundy too.

[msnismo]

Thanks for a great day guys... just wish the rain held off a little longer!

Chubbs... I think my best time was a 14.01 something... First run of the day on street tyres Lucas did a 13.201 - third slipped a bit though!

Lucas was runnning in the low 14's after that also - worked out that the pin to the master cylinder that we made was a smidgen too long.... hence 2nd & 3rd was slipping..... didn't get a chance to test it out heaps as the clutch was only finished being installed late Saturday!

We put the semi's I had lying around on after the lunch and he ran a 13.3 (clutch was nice & cold!)... Heading back down either this wednesday or next with the clutch sorted and some MT's.... hoping to crack the high 12's.... (with Lucas driving.. I just want to get in the 13's!)

NBP, everyone that had Northern Beaches Performanace stickered down the side of their car...

[evil_weevil]

[msnismo]

I may head out next week also!

Links...love that last shot of my car with Lucas "warming" up the the semis... I made him put them on cause he was killing my street tyres

DJ Brave.. where are all your photos??????

[Beer Baron]

was a great bit of weather for racing, except for the rain. it was good to see charlies car running, and I've no doubt it's going to be insane when it's sorted. I was just happy for a chance to take the car for a run and catch up with some of the guys I haven't seen in a while. congrats to all those that entered.

[Moanie]

What happened to you and Stace and Twoogle, Paul?

awww.. can't believe they didn't make it, but at the same time i'm glad i didn't miss twoggles debut

im testing out a new fake RWD burnout system for FWD, my target market is honda drivers.

ouchies!!! you figure out what went wrong john?

and adam!! awesome effort! makes me worry about semis on my baby though! i don't want anythng else dying!!!!!! but still! i've got some catching up to do!
