Air Drags Re Opening?

[MissR34]

hey guys just saw on ns.com:

(im quoting)

"Called Jo from AIR management today and she advises that with the recent court decision in Bob Janes favour that they can now re-open the facility more widely now.

This means street drags should be able to resume in about Oct/Nov this year.

IF SA provides enough interest and support to the facility it will only get bigger and better and then they will start to run $ competitions, and after time the funny cars, doorslammers etc. will be able to return.

Jo would like us to publicise this so if you are on other forums please post up, lets not lose it again ffs!"

[HOSTILE]

Superb... perhaps when it does we should have an SAU drag comp??

[Hotwire]

I was speaking to the guys in Outlaw speed shop the other day about this. They had been told the same thing, that street meets should be back come october. Here's hoping it happens because I will DEFINATELY be out there next summer if thats the case.

Wild!!! Cant wait for that !

(about bloody time tho!)

[Luciano]

certainly would be brilliant to have competition drags back!

if only they'd fix the bloody joint up a little....

[Hotwire]

I seriously doubt competition would be back anytime soon without the upgrade. 7+ years without competition cars will easily extend to 10 I reckon, as even Calder hasn't had competition meets for ages due to Bob f**king ANDRA around.

But in the mean time I'll be happy just to get some 1/4 times for the '33 at street meets.

excellent news

When i read this i think im having some sort of day dream....... Can it really be true, i do hope so.

Now i can get keen to get my car sorted for racing.

[Nightcrawler]

yeah I heard this too.

But I have also heard from a couple of sources that the track is in pretty poor condition and needs to be resurfaced before drags can be held.

If Bill and Co. had won the case they were going to put in timing boards - I wonder if BJ will bring us into the 21st century and finally install some for us? Makes watching drags 1,000,000 times more enjoyable when you can actually see what times all the cars are doing.

[Sambo33]

good point Andrew, i think everyone i know who has watched drags there has commented on the fact they couldnt see what times were being run.
