Lol at stace!! I knew it was some garage!

[Guest two.06l]

Can everyone post up there best times of the day

Pauls best was 12.34 ET 60' 1.763 MPH 112.15...not too bad in a near stock GTR

Thanks bu5ter for all your effort, i think next time we should be allowed to have an organised bbq. Cant wait to bring the stace racer here next time for a real go at those ETs.

Great day, would never go to a Wed night meeting again. It took about 60 hours of work to convert the N/A car to a new turbo motor, there were still a fair few problems that just didn't get done (like stalling between gearchanges). Despite the frustration was still great, got to do a decent burnout for once

Best timeslip of the day was lining up against Adrian, ran a 12.1 @ 117mph, nothing like a bit of healthy competition to push the car!

Edit: And that was on the tractor tyres! Borrowed a set of F&E's BFs to get a 1.7 60' later in the day.

[BU5TER]

Will do BDD2 Febuary next year and yep Stacey bbq sounds great, being the first time we've done this they can only get better

[Morgs]

Bring on BDD2... i'll be back... one way or another

[Boosted Zed]

Hey BU5TER Feb daytime? Can be stinking hot that time of year, not best for car or drivers. Might be better March or even April. I think you are on to a winner though. I have been to lots of Wednesday nights to watch and I was like Duncan thinking bit slow. Not enough action and too much waiting fi competing and wasn't overly keen to enter. Plus running SAU and getting all the gang together rather than getting lost amoungst the hectic GEMNI's or sick FALCON's. See if can get own day as in full SAU day only and then allows for more to come right? If not enough I could get some zed boys you can play with or against? They are not all slow heavy boats.

Feb???? I might be back in Syd by then...might have to get Doughy to drive my car, he seems to have the ability to pull 12.1s first try in white and black cars...i wonder how he goes in silver cars:confused:

Hey Brendan, Hooray.......... from us as well. :burnout:

For all of those who were concerned. No there was nothing wrong, Humbla (Genelle) just forgot to engage 1st gear before doing a fantastic launch. You have those kinda days don't you. :Paranoid:

And yes those lights were kinda funny. Why do the top two lights go off and on like that? It's a little confusing when you are trying to concentrate on dragging to your heart's content. :bahaha:

After that it was back to the 15s but she did have a "moment of clarity" where it was decided that more boost, split dump, less tyre pressure and a diff cradle may be required before the next run. :boinkcar: :idea:

Yes Adrian. In answer to your question she has caught "the bug".

Enjoy !

[BU5TER]

true true John but I want to do a day for my return and a general prep day for drag combat or Jamboree

Lol at stace!!  I knew it was some garage!

Nice to meet u moanie, unfortunately I don't own powerplay!!!!, just a little shed/garage with tools and a dirty floor.

we will definately be racing each other at the next one.

Did anyone see that very funny incident when Paul drove Sticker Dave's car for the 1st time. Stopped and waiting in the staging area he could'nt start the car again because of the turbo timer . Dave had to call instructions from the grand stand. "press this....than turn that.....". Paul seemed to have no luck, pressing all the wrong buttons, including setting the alarm off. VERY FUNNY, certainly cracked the officals up. When Paul was staged and ready the starter lent into the car window and said, "now remember, 1st is to the left, then up, and maybe you should put your window up!".

BTW....I love going to that track. Wasnt even racing, just being there was enough to get my hands shaking and my pulse racing. Can't wait till next time when I can have a drive, if I haven't lost my nerve!.

Hi Evan

That would have been Paul, my husband or Dave, in a silver 32 GTR. I didnt have any drives.

Evan, as my dad would say "you dun good". 48 is an awesome effort.

Anyone want a CDROM with all 750MB of burnout action - put your hands up (or PM me for details) - I didn't get everyone cause UAS got me to be camera ho for them but I did get a fiar few runs in.
