Hi Paul, Matt here. You changed your box in my friends (JTRACING) pit garage. It was good to see twoogle run so hard in the drags, pity the judging seemed a little one sided. I spose it was "street drags" and what you encountered was nothing you wouldnt get on the street. We should have expected some wanker to claim victory in a race he lost, just it is usually in the pub a week later.

I am interested in the specs of your roll cage, Will it include side intrusion bars ? Any idea on cost ?

Thanks

Hi Matt, it is ANDRA spec cro-moly...i.e as per the spec sheet out of the ANDRA rule book and must include side intrustion bars. The cost is around $2500.

A GTR could not possibly have won, i had an inkling something like that would have to happen. Possibly should have kept my head and asked for the best out of three as the guy dropping the flag was playing games with the start too. Even still a race off with the HB Torana for runner-up should have been offered as i clearly had the wood on him too!

Cool,

I must have a look at Jamies ANDRA book when I am up at the shop next time.

The margin in the final was such that you probably would have beaten the runner up by a significant margin.

FWIW the gold "GASSED" cortina? threw a leg out of bed on the very next pass. The motor was totalled.

Well me and a mate went on the Friday and if it wasn't for the Burnout comp late that nite and seeing/hearing TWO.06L scream around the track I gladly would have asked for my money back.

The friday was incredibly unorganised, their were about 3 proper displays (took me a whole 30mins to see everything), the dyno comp was on and off all day, the drifting well.... after a 1hr wait at turn 2 (expecting plenty of action obviously) they did a whole 2 laps before it was over, what a waste of time that was. Not to mention on the first lap a guy in a 180SX had engine trouble and was stranded on the inside ripple strip of turn 2. The marshal was happy to just sit and wave the yellow flag not even trying to assist him with moving his car off the track, instead he gladly let all the cars drift around the 180. A rescue ute even drove over to the marshal and then disappeared again. I was just waiting for a massive accident on the main straight from the cruise too (just like what happened in the street racing if anybody happened to witness that).

Their were more marshals at the Dyno Comp then their was for the entire event, 1 guy was walking around with his marshal shirt undone like he was at the beach or something, he looked and acted like a drunk dropkick and i gladly gave him a serving... he wasn't too impressed.

I did intend to go for the Fri+Sat (knowing that it probably would be bigger and better on the weekend) but after the very dismal effort on fri I decided against wasting another $50 on the Sat and did some other things instead.

Power Cruise... Power Schmooze!

I went on the Friday as well and totally agree with what was said above - I went home pretty dissapointed to be honest...thinking to myself that I get more action for $15 on a Wednesday night at WSID. Although I was somewhat glad to hear that at least the Sat and Sun were a lot better, so I'll probably give it another go if there's another one in August. I'll put the Friday down to a few organisational stuff up's due to having a new event at a new venue.

That's exactly what my mate said, better value for $15. I'll happily go again (hell I go to all the EC/WSID events.. except Motor Bikes pfft, I practically live there) but next time i'll make sure that I attend on a sat or sunday.

Looking forward to this w/ends "Holden vs Ford + Bandag Bullet + Burnout Comp" at WSID, now that will be $25 well spent. Then the following week the "Compack Attak" is on :)

We went out on the friday to spectate and got excited by the fact that you could let loose out on the track . So With an old set of rear wheels and my 4wd fuse in hand we ready to enter on the saturday but when I got up it was raining so we didn't bother . If there is another event on in August like mentioned? will certainly be entering and joining in with the skyline crew to show these v8 boys a thing or two . :)

Hey Paul + Stace

Did you notice that the powercruise site does not list you in the top 4 of the street racing.  The place is blank where I would expect you to be named.  

There is $200 going wanting there + a trophy !!

Get onto it!

Matt

we have e-mailed them about this issue....and recieved no response back (typical)

    • And this is the the thing with a high powered, AWD, heavy car. The engine is easy, the driveline costs just as much as the engine. 🤷‍♂️ Welcome to GTRland. Whatever you think your budget is, double it. Whatever you think your timeline is, triple it.
    • I thought I'd heard rumor of someone that was developing a 6 speed kit to convert the 5 speed box. But maybe I was thinking of the PPG 6 speed sequential? That's about half the price of a car...  
    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
