I dont know Russ. I only stayed a short while because of the limited number of cars.

Only once.

I like your thinkin Fapz, If ya cant beatem burnem.

Howbout a "gunna go racing" award.

It really was all about drifting russ. Only about a dozen time attack cars turned up but there were shitloads of crab cars there. Its difficult to put a finger on why the noms were so low for the time attack but I'll offer my opinion and share my experience from the weekend. On the saturday after bucketloads of rain the night before i headed out for a look and was quite surprised at the setup. No spectators allowed in the pit parking area, They directed us around the back of the track where I paid 25 bucks for a ticket, quite reasonable I thought. I then tried to drive around to the designated spectator area and promptly gave up, It was a Lousianna swamp. I am getting around with the aid of a walking stick atm so no way was I going back out to the main sealed park and then walking all the way around to the back of the track so I went home. Sunday I persisted and tried again, I spoke to the organiser and explained my dillema and they promptly allowed me to park in the pit area, I was extremely grateful for their willingness to accomodate me, Thank you again to the organisers. This then highlighted what I felt was wrong with the event, They had set the spec area up out the back because thats where the crabs were doing there thing so it made sense from that perspective but to those like me who were interested in the time attack it was pretty flat. As to why entrys were so low in the time attack I am not sure, Perhaps its because we qlders have time attack laid on by the bucket load and couldnt see the value in what they were asking to participate. I and a lot like me are not trying to win anything when we go to track, We do it for the enjoyment. Besides, competing in the whole track battle deal is way beyond the wherewithall of the average tracker with the other 2 events in Melbourne and perth. It would take some fancy folding and time away to follow the full circuit. From what I did see the event was well run with plenty of personel on the ground and everything running to a good tight schedule. The mudcrabs looked like they were really enjoying themselves and given they were the majority by a wide margin thats a good thing. If it were me running the event (and it isnt) I would somehow try and do what other succesful events at qr do. Put everything on the pit side of the track, throw it open to all and create some atmosphere. Congrats to the promoters for having the balls to have a go and i hope it grows to bigger and better things for you. Once again a personal thank you for sparing me the journey on foot to the far extremes of the circuit.

I liked it but am concerned about the length. (insert she said quote for smits) Wanted to talk to you on thursday night.

GL to you john but all my years of not owning an aircooled engine built for northern european climate only convinced me I did the right thing by avoiding them. I dont think I ever saw one that wasnt either just rebuilt or needed rebuilding.

rebuild second motor and supercharge it one qld summer air cooled engine shits itself fail buys rotor apex seals out.

2 time indy winner Dan wheldon was killed in a 15 car pile up at Las Vegas speedway this morning. Dan was due to drive touring cars in australia after this event. Sad day for motorsport.

Stacey Coner was awesome in world superbike.

Yeah, instead he two'd it.

Bathurst never fails to deliver, What a great finish Were there any fords racing this year

I will entertain any light weight rim in that size and offset range if I cant find another P1. Contact on 0413 863207 Show us what you have folks.

Thats a hot time from coop in the dirty poo. Sounds similar to that orange torry under the bridge. inside left about 150 mil off the deck.

The only thing missing from this thread is alf Stewart.

LIES!!

Would you exchange the 80 x 50 dollar notes for 162 x 25 dollar notes Terry ?

Whats that senile old coot done this time Mike?

Listen up folks. due to circumstances beyond our control the happy laps segment of this event will now be at lakeside raceway and the skidpan event is postponed until further notice spread the word everyones.

QR are playind silly buggers with times again. Breakfast is now at 7.30 sharp so try and be ther just before or as close to it as you can get. Cyall out there.

The gear is over at the workshop but I will hopefully be there on the weekend to snap a couple of pics. This is a complete setup with itb's all under plenum plumbing, throttle mechanism etc. It has done bugger all as it sat on the car undriven from new for a couple of years and then only did 1k before I pulled it off.

Ffs dont waste your time and money with the .82 housing Dave. It will only end in tears. At the very least use a 1.06 housing and even then dont tune it without egt sensors. You setup is almost a mirror of mine and the 33 racer car. I wont tell you how any 35r's came to grief between the 2 engines before we woke up. Using the .82 is like f**king for virginity, You wont get the desired result.

It goes like shit off a shovel too Mike, We had a ball beatin up the boges in it at power cruise.

Genuine Greddy plenum with throttle bodys and hardware to suit rb 26. Its all in excellent condition and ready to bolt on. 1000 dollars plus postage or pickup. pm on here or phone....0413863207.
