Powercruise 2010!

[NYTSKY]

Good stuff Paul!

We just finished mine tonight about 9pm. There was a tiny bit of foam when we bled the coolant so i think the head has lifted a little or the headgasket has the smallest leak.

Either way im out there in it tomorrow, hopefully it holds together. Low boost for now i think. But make sure you are next to me if i turn the wick up

Its been a bad year for breakages up and down pit lane.

Good to hear Dave!! Phew!

Tell me about it with the breakages though, In my garage we had a head gasket go, a turbo cease and a car that has been on jacks most of the powercruise. Lucky Sammy was there to support me. Big missions today driving around getting bits, but hopefully I can make up for it tomorrow.

Slowed right down this arvo and ripped a big anti-lag 3rd gear skid in front of the pits to make sure everything was ok haha.

What a finish to the week, but sadly GAMES OVER but had a ball. Heres my run down.

Wednesday Picked up the car from CRD after tune and service. rm to finish the front bar as parts werent to Pete's standard so he had them repainted.Bed around 1am

Thursday Up at 4am in order to finished work early & get new tyres & put mate gearbox back in after he brock 2nd gear previous night. We made it to the track around 5pm cars passed and we done the drivers brief. Home to detail car, bed around 2am

Friday Started work 5am in order to get to playing at the track. Got to track after lunch and the fun began. Only bad part was battery desided to pack it it so organised for a new one to be dropped to my place. Had a ball for the rest of the day. Got home late and to modify the battery tray to fit the new Optima in the boot. Bed around 2:30am

Saturday Up at 6am breaky etc and got to tyre shop before they opened only to find everyone in town was in same idea...dam! Then nice boy removing wheel doesnt put key in wheel enough so flares the key out to the point in jams in the rin near solie...(oh so happy I walk away before snaping his neck) Upon returning to the car I say to the boy and his boss enoughs enough move it. I had to knock the key onto the nut with a hammer to undo the nut then knock the key and nut out with a pin punch. Finally arrive at the track around 12 to line up for drags only to be told no your now the front of the Powerskids (dam) finally get out there, lights up 1st then syncros deside no entry to 2nd..... Went out and played in the cruise later to stir the boys with powerskid drags...lol great smoke show on the 2nd last straight. Unfortunately couldnt fix the syncros for the finals so here I sit wounded....but still happy as having some of the big V8 boys try draging me down the 2nd last straight only to be over taken by a GTR with the tyres smoking the tyres."Their faces were to be the best photos...ROFLMAO"

Good luck to all Im booking in ASAP for the next cruise only getting a garage next time ($500/car is steep but you see eveerything and no line ups). Now got to get ready for Twight Track evening at the Creek this Wednesday.

[NYTSKY]

What an epic weekend!

The engine was all good this morning besides an exhaust manifold gasket leak, which made it a bit laggy off boost and sounded a bit like a tractor. But at 4000rpm had all boost and power.

Got booted out of the first cruise session at the end for drifting the whole last corner in 3rd, smoke show!

Would like to thank all the boys in my garage for the helping hands getting me sorted for Sunday!

Also congrats to PJ for coming 3rd outright in the drags! With the dramas he had it was good to see the car hold up.

And one of the highlights for me was Mamoun in his stock engine GTR with 2530s win the drags yesterday only to be beaten today by half a car length by a full on drag car with chutes and wheelie bars!!!

[MaTBoY]

NYTSKY.. is your car the aqua blueish 33 with slicks?

[NYTSKY]

Nope, white r33 with the screamer

[GTR-32U]

Am I the only one who thought this years turn out was a bit of a disappointment compared to last year ? Or was it only because I couldnt make it on Saturday and had to settle for today?

[MaTBoY]

here's some more.

[The.Godfather]

awesome pics!! especially the ones of me flogging that blue torana.!! that was awesome, poor bloke lol

[PJ.]

Thanks Dave

I had an awesome day, definitely made up for the dramas over the weekend which put me out of the drags and Powerskid on Saturday.

Definitely will be back next year! It was my first time entered and I was paranoid about other people on the track but I found just about everyone to be aware of their surroundings which made it much more relaxing.

Would love to see any other pics/vids if anyone else has them! Thanks for posting MatBoy.

Check out my powerskid today

[ezy_09s]

Nice skid there PJ..i was wondering what happened to you yesterday in the drags.

Was looking forward to many arse woopin's...before it died mysteriously.

[PJ.]

Thanks dude I was top 16 when that happened on Saturday. Sorted the earth issue out and was all good today!
