So is that a Yay or Nay?

I doubt they would cancel altogether, they would postpone the date until the equipment had been fixed (just a guess), lots of people would have paid up their entry fee.

Would have been good too, if it was nicer weather than last year.

Calder Park in Melbourne is still a bit of shit-hole, if you were going to move anywhere for drag racing it'd to be near WSID or Willowbank, bonus with Qld is they have some great (read slack) rules when it comes to street cars and mods. :)

I Spoke to AIR today.

They said the timing guy is sorting things at the moment and Bob Jane is coming down over the weekend.

They will know whats going on 100 % by wednesday.

Said it is most likely going ahead at this stage though.

I heard Bob Jane isn't prepared to spent 1c on fixing anything, as he will most likely lose the track in the upcoming June court case. Why would you spend money on something you are likely to lose soon? Sorry guys, no more drag racing this year is the likely eventuality. :P

It's official, we have the crappiest track in Australia. I feel bad for people who have spent thousands getting their car ready for this event only to find they may not be able to race in this State!?

Did Bob Jane ever spend 1c on the track? Doesn't show.

I've just been offered a great job in the Gold Coast. I am still undecided at this stage. It will be sad to leave Adelaide but I don't think I will miss SA notorious Regency, defect stations and AIR. Everything that has been said is so true. Took the whole year to prepare the car for this National event and what a let down :P

Decision, decision, decision ......

damn it would be sad to see you leave Danh!

Are you coming on the cruise? If so, please bring my helmet :) - also did you get my PM on ns.com a while back asking you to grab a secondary bonnet wire for me from from Zenith/Darren when you picked yours up? If you didn't and Darren reads this, can he please bring one (or more - who knows - you might sell some) for me to buy?

Nightracer :), I will try to come to the cruise on the 19th if I get part for the PPGearbox in time. I could not pick up the bonnet catch wire as I have been busy and his place is out of my way. If I cant make it I will try to catch up with you guys at the second meeting point (with your helmet).

Zenith if you read this too could you bring Nightcrawler and mine to the cruise?

Many SA drag clubs (including SMASA I believe) have thought of buying the track in the past.

1 big prob: Bob Jane don't wanna sell it. End of story. He just doesnt want to spend $$ on it either, senile old bugga..

anyone see him on the Muscle Car Masters on ch10 the other week? He had no idea what was going on around him :(

    • There aren't boost creep issues, it's not engineered around the restriction of the cats but if you haven't tuned the engine a full decat + exhaust can flow enough air to run off the end of the OEM load scales and you will get a pretty substantial reduction in ignition timing as a result. I recommend using DFCO, avoiding ignition cut limiters, and avoiding popcorn tunes along with running a cat unless you enjoy a perpetually soot-covered and potentially burnt bumper.
    • Small update, it's been slow moving over the Christmas period with money having to go everywhere thats not my car 😅. I got myself a little present to myself from "santa" in the form of some tidy radiator mounts from fitmint automotive to get rid of the stock ones that look like they have been in an accident before and then straightened by a caveman. I know I should've replaced the rubber bush at the same time but I had no idea how bad they were until I was replacing the mounts. Decided to order their dash mat while I was at it as I feel like I am lucky enough to have a pretty decent condition dash and I don't want to risk it being ruined while it's parked in the aussie sun while I'm at work. I have found another electrical fault to add to the evergrowing list to eventually chase down. Every time I replace my taillight globe it blows within a day of use, I'm starting to think my life would be easier if I took a few minutes to learn how to use  a multimeter 😂.   Had some luck with finding a series 2 drivers headlight on marketplace to replace my mismatched series 1 headlight, a subtle difference but it's nice to have a matching set of lights now.   I returned to the air con problem due to being sick of this summer heat, found a good condition condenser to replace my leaking one! I got it in the car and was happy when I got the thumbs up that the system was now holding gas. Sadly the compressor is not kicking in for some reason, we even tried branching the relay in the fuse box. I have tried to do some research on the issue with no clear understanding of what the fix is, so for now it will be placed on the backburner until I can be bothered to look into the wiring to the compressor. The last small mods I have done was cutting the horizontal vents out of the front bar, not really in a functional airflow sense but I just think it looks better as I am not a fan of the series 2 bar. I also switched the shift knob out for a hosoboyo aluminium grex style one, it has a really nice more direct driving feel than the outdated rubbery oem one. Thirdly, I chucked on one of the ebay bonnet strut kits. The fitment is decent and they seem to work fairly well. They have only given out once while the car was parked facing downhill, I think if I was working under the bonnet I would still put the oem hood stay up to be precautionary as to avoid getting a speedy concussion.
    • Got pneumonia, haven’t played with her in a while, but I’m back now. Previous owners cut bonnet pins into the bonnet. My choice try find a replacement or spend $15 get some pins myself to cover up. Now only one small hole to cover. looks shit now, but when the bonnet is red again. Be good 🤞
    • No R32 GTSt had 15" wheels. 205/55-16 was standard GTSt fare. 4.36:1 is standard R32 turbo auto diff. I think the manual was too, not 4.11. 4.11 and 4.08 were R33 namual and auto respectively.
