Hey guys haven't heard much talk about race wars here, wondering if anyone is going? I was booked to go but had a last minute wedding to shoot so I've been unable to go now :(

It is something like 1 mile drag or top speed trials on a runway, so it might be a little boring to some. Hopefully someone crashes to spice things up :)

What: 400m, 800m and 1,000m drag racing / top speed runs. Side-by-side roll-on drag racing from 60km/h for 200m / 400m distances.

When: April 6-7, 2013

Where: Wyalkatchem Airstrip

Also you're are a moron for your "crash " comment

Well that was more a joke ya know like break a leg? But hey your replies were certainly just as mature.

Anyway some mates have 2 cars going with room to spare now if someone wants to go cheap.

I am going. I have always wanted to do a top speed run on a runway. Why should Jeremy Clarkson have all the fun! I was frustrated that there were similar events over East but we had nothing here. I even did my own research on likely airstrips in WA. Wyalkatcham has a fairly new runway of 1600m, so it is won't be long enough to top out and still stop safely, but it will be enough to get scary!

So I am grateful to the guys at Antilag for organising this thing - and they seem to have done a very thorough job.

There is also going to be a display of cars in Forrest Chase on Tuesday 2 April 2013, which mine should be in. I have just been informed that there will be an Aventador adn a GT40 there too. So this is much bigger than a few "rice buckets' as our Falcadore friends love to call us!

I hope to have an onboard camera system installed too (HKS DMR), so should be able to post some vid of me yelling as I pass 250 km/hr!

Cheers. :woot:

Not been told anything on pools yet. Waiting to hear. Mind you, I have not been to get the car scrutineered yet, so maybe they will give me that stuff then. Should be happening on Saturday!

nah log onto the antilag forum, there is a thread 69 pages long on the event and its around page 60 or so.

That would all be good if I had a login for their forum. Had a quick look, couldn't find it, don't have time to p#ss about. I will see you when I see you, in whatever group I am in! ;)

Went very well thank you :D

A little annoyed that I didn't get a passenger seat in your bus, went very hard by all reports.

Epic weekend was epic none the less, I even one myself an award!

Cheers Richard, she's sitting proudly in the lounge room :D

Only did one standing start timed run - 247.7 km/h and there was definitely room for improvement, I was (and still am) stoked though.

Did you end up bettering your 253 run?

    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
