A fabulous day yesterday at Heathcote Raceway saw SAU Victoria take out the inaugural Tri Club Drag Challenge.

The day pitted SAU Vic against the WRX and US Muscle Clubs to see who was fastest down the 1/4 mile.

The day was covered by My Drive and 2 of our members Russell Cunningham and Luke Schulze were picked out of the crowd to be interviewed for the show.

Huge congrats goes to Luke Schulze (NUTR33) for taking out the honours for the day with a 10.9 second pass.

Russell,I'm fairly sure you've passed Tony now for number of dead drive shafts!!!

Was great to catch up with everyone - cheers to all who came along to make it enjoyable :)

Im sure there will be pics/video to come - and be sure to stay tuned for an annoucement on when the footage will be aired on TV.

Thanks to Bec for being the SAU-VIC organiser :) (I think WRX club have some trophies for you to distribute - to the Blue GTR owner- Best Skyline in SnS & Fastest GTR)

All I can say is WOW... HE DID IT! Emotions have been a bit haywire since & I was very a proud wifey. Breaking into the 10's has been a dream for ages, and now its a reality.... so bring on some more tweaks and mid/low 10's? :whistling:

Congrats to Leon on the cool burnout at the end of the day on the pan & Sorry that Russ broke a couple of drive shafts, but glad he managed to get them replaced & get back out there on some slicks and have some fun!

I'd love to see any more footage/pics fo Lukes car if anyone has any?

Here's the 10.9 pass from my perspective:

See you all at DECA in a few weeks! :cheers:

Thanks to the organisers and WRX club, the day was run well and lots of fun.

Thanks everyone for the congrats

It took a bit to break into the 10s, but well worth the effort.

Its now time for E85 and some more boost, and hopefully a low 10.

Any new videos we get of the day we will upload to youtube, just search nutr33

Cheers

Was good to catch up Leigh - even if you were "batting for the other team" :)

How'd you end up going??

haha I know Bec its been ages! hey I was still battling for SAU! just in a falcon :nyaanyaa:

Ended up getting a 12.73 @ 110mph pretty happy with that.

Leon did great in the burnout comp, I assume he ended up winning the trophy? I left just before presentations

Thats a bit of a sore point "Sorry guys... I dont know about the burnouts on the back pad but this trophy is for best burnout out here warming up tyres" or something like that :/

Told him I will make him a trophy because it was a good show, and he broke stuff so he deserved a trophy!

Good work, I remember you talking about your car at the Kinglake/Heallsville cruise a few months ago :thumbsup:

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
