it won't happen.

government won't help, they'd rather keep fining people and crushing cars rather then have a place for "hoon's" to vent their needs.

i believe the problem here in newcastle is that the only drag strip is in sydney. i think if something like this opened it would bring down deaths, street racing, fines. everything related to speeding.

i'm sure the goverment could make revenue on a place like this?

ppl want to winge n wine if hooning goes on public roads

but we r running out of places to go with oran park closing (for drifters more than any one)

if some one lives close to the air strip ,go knock on the door n ask who owns it

We have already established who owns it. Its just a matter of where to go from here and obtaining correct contact details.

Ah, here's a question....how wide is the runway?

2:10 onwards should give you a pretty good idea.

It's wide enough to fit 2 cars down it - I should know, ran the Subaru down it after filming wrapped up. :(

Sorry, the event would be too boring, all the courses would be a sprint to the cone then back to the start line.

We have other venues in the pipeline and this would've been a nice addition but just isnt suitable

2 cars at a time, have to accomodate for slaloms and things like that. Basically this runway is too thin, the reason im looking at airports is due to their large amount of tarmac used for the planes to taxi towards the runway, so we have a straight part and an area with corners to setup a "track" course, touching the grass means a penalty the same way hitting a cone does. Fastest of the day wins

Doesnt change the fact that we need a 1/4 mile strip built here in Newcastle somewhere!!

I want to run my car but Im not going to drive to Sydney mid week to do it.

agreed who wants to race after 2 hours of driving.

i think a track might lower hoon levels, but at the same time, sydney has a track and has the most hoons. or lebs.

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
