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! ;)

hows that rotor going Lachy ? :whistling:

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?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
