subzeroR33 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Very good ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Who actually went to willow bank to watch the RACING. I dont know if it was just me, but i found it very boring they had two races in the first hour and the commentators were crapping on with shit all night. It felt like i paid $45 entry to watch the tractor go up and down the quater mile and a shit load of motor bikes. And didnt see one Skyline in sight.

FineLine Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Very good ^^^^^^^^^^^^Who actually went to willow bank to watch the RACING. I dont know if it was just me, but i found it very boring they had two races in the first hour and the commentators were crapping on with shit all night. It felt like i paid $45 entry to watch the tractor go up and down the quater mile and a shit load of motor bikes. And didnt see one Skyline in sight. Weight of numbers dude. I think there were only 3 lines nominated in a field of over 600 cars. Most divisions were hotly contested with up to 40 cars vying for a spot in the final 16. In a nutshell the night belonged to bogan ville and will do for a long time to come. As impressive as the lines are there is no substitute for cubes when it comes to dig racin. They have the torque to consitantly launch time and again with less than 1000ths of a second between their run times. The small capacity imports are too knife edged to maintain the launch consistancy of the heavy iron. Too many revs it flares up in wheelspin and not enough sees it bog down, Changing track conditions make it extrememly difficult to get it right time after time and that is what is required to be succesful at a big meet like the winter nats. It was a good meet, I managed to spend at least a couple of hours at the track each day and despite the oildowns and the waiting the racing was of a standard Australia has never seen before. Some classes had every qualifier running under the national index. Quite astounding really. Heres another tip, If you decide to go bogan go straight to the top and run bowtie equipment, The only place in the finals for the blue oval was in the dial your own slow arse street titles. Cheverolet owned it and owned it in near all classes all weekend. F.O.R.D.....F.ucked O.n R.ace D.ay.

Yeah it was a good run. I missed the fianals as i did'nt want to get stuck in the traffic. I remember last time when we waited for the final top fuel run, they both shit'em selves and that was it. I was'nt going through that shit again. Who ended up winning the door slammers was it Ben Bray or that white HQ from WA. It was on fire running a 6.03 in the semi.

Yeah it is getting stupid with the admission fees. I have noticed it was down on numbers from the last few years. You would have people on the hill right down the end of the track, not this year.

That is the first Sunday i have gone to for a few years i normally go on the Saturday which i think is much better as you get to see more cars qualifying.
