my gosh that is very sad...

i wouldnt call myself a 'street racer' but every noun an then i can get carried away (alot of you would be lying if you said you've never given it a squirt on the street)... just being honest. Anyway i see this as a big wake up call.

R.I.P to the elderly couple

I realise it's a separate issue but the Drag Tag "sting" was invented - it never happened.

  • 1 year later...

Sure it would but does this give any wake up calls to Commodore drivers..?

  • 2 weeks later...

there was one in st marys a while back. (not sure if this WAS it but pretty sure...) but the red commodore's speedo froze at 175kmph. consider that after braking. =S

my dad has a silver vs commodore & after learning in that they have a f**kload of power but nothing to back it up. horrible steering, shit brakes & poo suspension. all they have is their engine which to be honest is just muscle anyway. you race one of those anything that gets in your way you're almost bound to hit. sure the engine is great for pulling that overweight body around but trying braking suddenly...

personally i hope the dickhead that was racing sees the image of that elderly couple the moments before & after impact in his mind forever & it haunts him till his grave.

alot of people these days i suppose find street racing more convenient, so they do it. i'm not backing it up as i think it's pretty dumb anyway but yeah the whole movies, look "cool", spontaneous racing, lack of planning would make the adrenalin rush. i dunno. never done it really so can't say.

[off topic] the funny thing is the best performing holdens are all powered by nissan & chevy engines =P love telling the hsv lovers that one ^^

^^^ Yeah, the so&so has pleaded guilty. At 37, he's old enough to know better.

Sentencing is pending. Hope he's remorseful and gets a life!

The elderly couple were active in their church and for charities, so we know where they've gone to.

It's the family and friends that they've left behind that I pray for (as well as the irresponsible dragster).

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
