sheet, thats *this* saturday. Yup.. BP coomera sounds good. 8:30a is an early start, but I think I can make it :P

I'm staying at my mates place down the GC this weekend, so heading down that way anyhow. After DC i'll just head back to the GC.

I am out, picked the line up Friday and one of the turbos decided to shit itself, has been sent to Townsville for repairs but we are out. Feeling a little depressed so have decided not even to spectate.

Good luck to all those racing and make sure you take ALOT of photos of the bikini contest (as well as the racing).

Who is still coming to meet at Coomera tomorrow b4 heading off?

I am still up for it.. but the heat looks like it could put a huge damper over the whole thing if its the forecasted 41 degree heat ends up being a reality!! I know i'd never drag my car in that heat.

If the car turnout is going to be low due to the heat don't want it be a whole waste of time and trip. It seems quite likely ??

Can just save the money and spend the time in my mates pool instead :)

I reckon they should post pone it. If not for the attendees but for the drivers... **** sitting in a car with the windows up and no aircon on with long sleeves, long pants and shoes...

Yeah, seems stupid to be honest. There will be dramas somewhere. But guess you can't just "postpone" a large event like that for those coming from all around QLD and possibly interstate.

blk: by that theory get there early in the morning :) later in the day everybody could have given up and gone home. But no idea !

The postponed it last time it was one. I personally don't think it's such a big issue with this one as compaired to the last one. Last dragcombat was the only event for the whole country. This year they are taking it to nearly every state. But yeah, they postponed the last one, even if it was only for one day :D

Also, I've been watching the trends of the heat lately through the BOM website and it's actually the hottest in Ipswich/Amberley around 2ish in the afternoon, then it drops. So either early morning or late night is the way to go :)

They postponed it for one day last year because of the heavy rain.

So ...it's going to be hot, it might be less humid out there than in Bris. Cancelling would cost them a fortune and is simply not on,

We are taking the car out there ....and we will run, doesn't look good for 12's though.

Any of you guys make it out there,don't be shy, come and introduce yourselves....you might even get a cold drink. Look for a tatty maroon Rangerover with a silver 4 door beside it..shouldn't be hard to spot the number plate....51JAY, nice of him to let me drive his pride and joy

Anyway Ithink we should make the effort to support Drag Combat and we'll be doing our bit See you there

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

      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!
