April 2nd 2005 Queensland round of Drag combat

Who is keen to attended?

Race or spectate

Would be good to have a strong Queensland SAU showing.

Only 3 months away

Should have my car ready by then to race

Far out. Next years going to quick already! :P

I was hoping to have a few cars to put on display at events like this in 2005. Not to compete in the best ricer awards, but to get our name out there that SAu exist as a club. If anyone is interested, pm me and I'll get in contact with the guys who run drag combat (is it cabin?) and get more information.

I will prob be in UK but have asked mick51 to enter the white car to keep up our Drag Combat record (mick drove the first, we entered the 2nd but had to retire) Hopefully using BFG drag radials...hint hint Mick!!

I'll put the car on display if you need some numbers, never done it before :thumbsup:

But ill have a go at 'racing' too, depending alot on track/temp conditions.

That and DYO sucks most of the time,

Last year was insane, track temps were over 50! I wouldnt have run my car even if i owned a commodore :flamed:

Willowbanks' sheet metal stands dont exacly help cool the crowd/spectators down either :(

would be nice to race, but guess there is no point at the moment.. I'll probably just spectate.

It was worth going to though.. esp. the model show :wassup: should make it an SAU event.. with a joint cruise down there and maybe a club area.. idea anyhow.

There goes that Idea.

DRAG COMBAT 2005

 

MEDIA RELEASE

Sydney: January 17, 2005

Drag Combat 2005

It is with deep regret that Cabin Auto Salon announces the cancellation of Drag Combat Queensland, which was to be held at Willowbank Raceway on April 2, 2005.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, however we will be working to secure another Queensland date hopefully sometime later in the year.

In the meantime Drag Combat will still feature at Quit Motorplex in Perth on April 23, and Western Sydney International Dragway on May 28.

Fine by me? I might come out and watch :mad: By the looks of that email, it looks like they are trying to get another date in Brisbane, just depends on willowbanks availability.

Sucks about the weather last year, i think that's got a lot to do with it being cancelled. :mad:

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
