Well done Todd and the Club Execs for organising the event.

in the end, great turnout and a bloody great afternoon.

yes it started late but that was out of our control.

with 30 cars running, there was never a long lineup between runs - I got 11 runs in and left at 4pm.

looking forward to the photos, cheers

Thanks everyone for coming out, we ended up with about 26 people from memory, everyone had a blast from what I can tell, everyone was EXTREMELY well behaved, so thanks for that :D - there were only a few mishaps with the cars, not as many if it were a hot day, so i'm thankful it became cooler.

Thanks to the guys (and girls) from Bundy who made the trip, sorry I didn't get to talk to you more :( I hope you'll make the journey again for a skidpan or something (which is much closer to you in Gympie) hahaha

NICE JOB TODD!!!!! And from memory, I think you beat a couple RB25's yeh? hahahahahaha :)

I definitely want to do another day soon WHERE THE CAR DOESN'T BREAK :) :lol:

Cheers again guys :worship:

Thanks to you guys for organising this event. I had a ball, and it was my first time down the strip as well. It's a shame my clutch didn't enjoy the day as much as I did and I only ended up doing 4 runs, but I enjoyed every second :worship:

Spewin I didn't get into the 13's tho :) Missed it by 0.049!!

Can't wait for the next one! :)

yeah we had heaps of fun!!! i much prefered our time then when gates opened to public thats when it got crappy lol

best i could get 13.1 @ 114mph then clutch started giving away :worship:

Oh-yes I did, 33&34 varieties Ended up doin 14 runs lol 20 FTW,

Super special thanks to the treasurer-Anna who was a major part in the day going ahead with her tireless work taking payments for the day.

Another big thanks to QR for allowing us to use the track and all the marshals who ran it for us.

Everyone was extremely well behaved which is testament to the great bunch of members & guests we have acquired.

I love this club-I really do-you guys & gals all rock :laugh:

Ha!! Due to brand new tyres and a new EBC, I did better my best time by 0.1sec down to a 13.5 but should have done a lot better.

Tim, to give you an idea of the potential in my car, my trap speed on the good run was 192.6kph!!! If I could get it off the line, it would be low 12's

Best: 13.529 ET @ 171.57 KPH (106.61 MPH)

Thanks fella's, but I hav already penned you both down for a 13.529+2=15.529 which all will see and that clearly shows that my 20 won baahahahaha :rofl:

More seriously Dave, try to get some Slicks on you stock rims for the next Drag Day and do that car justice will you :P , by being able to sit a bit higher in the rev range and to let rip off the line I think will surprise you (maybe 11's) cause its sure got some stick once moving I'll lay testament to that :( .

Tim, that car rocks dude :domokun: , has given me a target 4 the next 1 by matchin your time ;)

BULLSHIT!

    • Yeah, playing with naturally aspirated is not smart bang for your buck power wise, but then I've never been known for being smart when it comes to cars and modifications 
    • I mean from V8 world there are gains to be made in intakes and such over stock items, but definitely only if you tune them. We're talking about I dunno, 10kw here and there on a 300KW v8, gains made by tuning in the 0.2 AFR that it changes so YES but also no you won't notice it other than the sound. Duct the air as mentioned 750,000 times and you will notice happier IAT's which definitely make a difference N/A. I mean my unsubstantiated guess is you'd go from 140kw with everything stock (after cams) to 145kw with everything and a tune :p
    • I decided to "spend baby spend", and "risk it for the biscuit" 2 Orders were made buying parts that I "don't really need but really really want" totalling $2.5k AUD 1: In stock items (intake plenum and throttle body) 2: The airbox thingie, with no real ETA for them getting more stock, so patience will be required 
    • Any further updates on experiences with them? Anyone installed one with a getrag here as yet?
