OK, so I just downloaded the form.

Now I need a damn fax number to send it back - why can't I do an online form like 'autosalon' ???

$50 ???? Huh, on the form it says $80 ??? Which is it ??

Which class details are we going in ?

Is Drag Combat ANDRA sanctioned?

Essentially, am I going to need to install a roll cage and chute on my car in order to race? What other requirements are there in regards to fire extinguishers, fireproof clothing etc?

I don't want to bring my car up from Melb to find out I can't run,

Yep it is ANDRA sanctioned all the info is in the link there is also a link to the ANDRA site

I'm 100% sure you will have to have a welded in cage ie jap style bolt in isn't accepted, a tailshaft loop maybe and a scatter shield and I think you need a parachute if you're running 140mph, you will also need the full andra drag lic and I think they inspect your car

Seeing as how it's an ANDRA track and that [cabin] mention this all over the site, I guess it is an ANDRA event...

There is a link at the top of the page and about 10 times on the way down. Feel free to click it. Would love to see you here. :-)

Q re ANDRA requirements, don't they only apply after you've run your first meeting at over 140mph, ie it would be fine for Leewah to run this meet but he would need cage, tailshaft loop etc next time?

They've told the people drag racing to arrive at 8am for scruitineering, and show 'n shine/sound off competitors to arrive at 8:30-9am to setup...

I assume they'll open the doors at about 10am...

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
