Calling all SAU Gold Coast residents!

Drag Combat is on Saturday 21 February at Willowbank Raceway.

I was thinking we should meet up somewhere early in the day and cruise up as a group. How does BP Coomera @ 8.30am for 9am departure sound? Anybody reckon we should leave earlier?

The cost to spectate is $30. So start saving now. :) FREE parking is available or you can pay $8 for "premier" parking.

It will be a full day event. I believe the gates open at 8am with racing finishing around 4-5pm.

Last years Drag Combat was awesome... Don't miss it this year!

i'm in it, last year was so packed, just abit dissapointed from the short cut we've taken through the back, cause when i got home and opened the bonnet all i could see is RED sand. i will definitely will pay the $8 prem parking :) that would be cool to see all our crs parked next to each other, would be the biggest attraction there........Yeee Ha... :headspin:

Pred: Cause Brisbane residents are weird :D Just kidding!

Your more than welcome to come as well as any other Brissy residents. I just figured most of the Brissy people would come out Ipswich Rd rather than backtracking down the M1.

Maybe we should stop at Redbank plaza and meet up with Brissy guys before continuing along to Willowbank?

The $8 premier parking isn't worth it. It's no different to the normal parking except it's on the other side of the fence and the thieves don't have to walk as far.

I dont think I'll be taking my car out. We'll take brutis out I think.

Hahahaha

Anyway I will be a drag combat a little earlier me thinks, am swinging spanners for GTR_Cam trying to get some good times out the newly tuned 33...

Yeah heat can be a bit of a bummer......but a bit of prep time makes all the diff, big sunshade, lightweight seat, sunblock and a couple of eskies full of ice and cold drinks in the boot ...... think of the poor competitors in the staging lanes !!! and finally....this IS Queensland. ..... Still hope to see you there

    • It's all about selling non-compliant emmisions stuff, and things like tuning stuff that makes your car have more emmisions, a very small percentage of modifications and tuning go into race cars, the vast majority of tuning and mods, like catless exhausts, or non-compliant cats, go into street cars with registration  Like a gun shop can only sell to someone with a gun licence, if they don't, they are fined and even jailed, and whilst a gun is totally different to a tune, or a catless exhaust, they are still illegal for a street car As for customers, it easy, they send a letter and tell them to show up for an inspection, like if someone says your car is to loud now, if they don't show up for the test, they can cancel rego, just like not paying a traffic fine This has been happening for years overseas in other countries  I'm in no way happy about it, but, I think there is definitely writing on the wall for modern cars with emissions standards, which will effect tuning shops, parts suppliers and end users And like other countries around the world, it is the government's that makes the rules and regulations for street cars with rego What would happen to a tuner or workshop if they were investigated about turning off stuff in a ECU IRT emmisions stuff like engine check lights for cats, or removing cats, or putting in a lower cell cat, this is apparently all illegal IAW modifications to registered cars, or, retuning the car so that with even stock emmision stuff still installed, but due to the tuning, or parts, like bigger cam shafts, it will now not pass the emmisions test Yes, I am going into a rabbit hole, but going off what other countries are doing IRT everything related to emmisions........cars, trucks, manufacturing, mining, modified vehicles are a easy target Meh, time will tell how it goes either way 
    • This^^^ 100%. Endless Male Attention. "buy a cool car, attract females". No reality is the opposite. "Buy a cool car, attract males".     
    • Just wanted to share the recent dyno results on my car. 20lbs of boost on pump gas. Pulled the fuse on the AWD so it was only rear wheels on the dyno. It made 484 hp at the wheels. I asked the tuner to see if we could do something so it breaks the 500hp level, but he said that we were maxxed out on pump gas. If i wanted to make more power, id have to go to E85.      8739a97a-9408-4eeb-b769-108ff1678736.mp4
    • While there is no current law for the spoon, let's swap to a different utensil. Example, does the store get fined for selling a butter knife if it ends up being a murder weapon? Perhaps they cpuld be done for assisting if they *knew* it was going to be for such a purpose. But, if used properly, which was its primary design, it's a tool for a job that's legal. I could understand companies being prosecuted if they advertise their products for being road legal if they in fact, are not. Possibly, but not necessarily, the tuners for tuning a car to a non legal fashion(emissions), but there is always the possibility that the customer really doesn't intend to use the car, in that configuration, on the road. So long as the companies can prove they have conveyed how illegal it is to use the now illegal car, in a place where the vehicle must meet the laws, they shouldn't be punished. Not sure about other countries or states, but I've been made aware that I can't legally stop a client from taking and driving their own car in NSW, Australia, even if they owe the shop money. It must go through court to get the funds from the customer, and you need to get the police or roads covering body representatives to come and stop the owner from driving the car, even if I know how hazardous the vehicle is.
    • probably around the $1700-1800 fitted in his sizes.  The ar1 is heaps cheaper. Get on scumplace I got some A052 295/35/18 for $400 that had done maybe 20-25 hot laps of SMP.
