Well done! As I said in the PM, I knew it was going to happen and I was so pissed that I couldn't be there to see it.

:D cheers :)

PS; I am surprised that they let you keep running. What happened to the one 10 = goodbye? Are they going soft?

SK...they give you a "warning"....its like.."you do that again and you can go home"....its like a mates mother yelling at you when you've pissed in their pool...lol...WSID track Nazi's....its funny you don't get that at Willowbank.

You still get booted...but they are cooler about it....its like "fu(k that was a mean pass...but if you go better than that it will be time for congrats stubbies with the car in the pits"

I got booted first time I went under 11.000 .. no appeal for one more pass was given a millisecond's consideration!

They mustn't have liked you Kenny....they were a bit harsh to me...but they said another 10 and your gone (10.8 first pass)

We ran 10.7 @ 134 and they were adamant we were out of there until we had a full tech inspection with cage, etc. The senior ANDRA person at the timeslip room asked what time I ran .. when she heard 10.7 she just shook her head. I got the impression if it was like a 10.9 she might have been persuaded.

I get on quite well with the WSID and ANDRA people there, quite a good bunch I've found. I've also noticed that they a much easier to get along with once you have an ANDRA licence and even more so when you start working towards a full tech inspection compliant sedan.

Brett, I assume you're going to spoil that street car and get a six point ANDRA cage? Are you going to get Greg Schultz to do your tech inspection?

Funny thing about that is i was fully teched and licenced....they just carried on a bit with the "authority".

Looks like there will be some action in the 6cyl RWD radial tyre ranks this summer. :D Cool.

And here I thought my [email protected] (72 Crown, BFG) would be a reasonable run from last saturday! Bugger. The car was hitting the limiter way out, so a diff change is on the cards.

Nice time there mate. Well done. Is there a thread on SAU for a few more details on the car?

I was booted too from AIR last sunday after a [email protected] (hoosier-but still only 1.860ft) so I've got a bit of work to do over christmas.

I'd say at least one of us will be in single digits by march.

And again-well done. ;)

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
