Just want to say that I thought the weekend was great, even though it rained on Saturday morning and caused Drag Combat to be post-poned till Sunday I was glad in a way as it gave me and the other guys from DUEL time to catch up with some sleep that we missed out on the night before.

My friends cousin is the head rep for Sony Car Audio and had come up with about 12 of his mates including Ben Ellis from HPI, we took a couple of them out for a thrash around the coast and they loved it. Especially the car park which blew them away on Saturday night.

The racing was good but like most I was dissapointed that no Australian GTR ran a 9 sec pass....how hard can it be?

The guys from IMS were a supprise with some tuff cars and quck times, its amazing how much tuffer a GTR sounds with no exhaust, most of their cars had HUGE brake upgrades which is often forgotten when modding your car.

Basically it was good fun, there were heaps of skylines (cruise/race) and I got to meat some really cool people like URMINE (Glad Luke could help with your car) & MERL & BY BY from Sydney.

Pics to come soon, I didn't use the digital on the weekend so my 7 rolls of film ( 168 shots of the drags, cruise and carpark ) are at the lab now so stay tuned.

I have pics, but don't get them back till tomorrow....and then I have to scan them in....damn I need a digital camera :(

There's one thing that pisses me off about this event. If I'd known that rain would have caused it to be postponed to Sunday, i would have booked a flight home on Monday "just in case".... [cabin] should have mentioned that this "might" happen on their site!

but anyway....

it was still a great weekend....went out on Fri night for a few drinks with slip, la la land, fenn, kabab and others....plus a few runs of Mt Cootha was also done...won't say much more about that :?

Sat morning DRAGCOMBAT....I'd had a total of 20 minutes sleep the night before....I was a zombie but Rod (33GTS25T) pointed me in the right direction for coffee...and big thanks Zero for shouting me another one!!...I needed it!! Took heaps of photos of all the Skylines and other cars out the back, and one of the HKS car when it did it's run down the fence.

I rode shotgun with 33GTS25T on the way home (via KFC) to slip's house, where a few guys came back and talked about whatever guys talk about while I went to bed and tried to get a few hours sleep (I hardly heard any of your conversation HONEST!!) hehehe

Then up again (quick shower) and off riding shotgun again with 33GTS25T to the Gold Coast to "experience" the BWCP...MY GOD...that place was amazing!!!! We met up with the Sydney guys who were staying down there (Merli, BY BY, Urmine etc) briefly...checked out all the cars...etcetc

Cruised back to Brissy after that...much fun...me, Rod, slip, Birty, la la land, Fenn, Nismogirl & b/f?, cruising along the highway in 3 Skylines...all sticking to the speed limit OF COURSE :wink:

Birty...SOOOOO did not need to see your arse hanging out of slip's window LMAO!!!

Got home to slip's....went to bed....woke up to a gorgeous sunny Sunday....could have cried cos slip had already left to the "postponed" event....and i was left to pack and catch my flight back home :cry: Don't you hate that feeling when you know you're missing something good but can't do anything about it???

But I truely did have the best weekend, and had so much fun...SLIP you are a legend and I love you heaps and thanks for having me....Rod, your zorst rocks, you were right it's the loudest r33 (but i still think you should buy that red Elise we looked at :P )

Sorry for the long post!!!! BTW....this is only a brief rundown...I haven't gone into the real details LOL

Shell :D
