Thanks Boz good work

Apart from the strange jazz lol

I am disappoint I thought I had more smoke than that

[SCR48]

some great pictures here.

So yeah, just finished editing a little 3:30 video of todays exploits

I have learnt two things. 1 - I need better video gear. 2 - I need better sound gear.

GoPro's are great at being strapped to things cameras otherwise wouldn't be strapped to and TERRIBLE for everything else.

Probably another 15 minutes to compile and compress, then god knows how long to upload it.

Get the external mic for it? They are awesome for action shots and such but like you said, crap for general video gear.

Love the choice of backing track, Cowboy bebop is my favorite anime ever.

Best of the day for me was a 13.857 a big improvement on last years 14.4..

10kw's and 50kg's more and you get .6 seconds on me? jesus.

[Cadmoon]

All down to the launch. Best I could manage was a 14.44 and my car is almost identical to Bodo's, even down to tyres.

[wolfman101]

Well, my best was a 12.9, which is bang on manufacturer claims.

A bit disappointing because:

A) RS/AMG/M claims are usually 1/2 a second or so too conservative and;

B) I am making around 30 HP over stock.

Oh well...the launches could have been better anyway.

Great day all. Much better than goingbto a normal TnT!

Glad i decided to go to this! Was a great day.

The abomination beat me by 9 hundredths of second across the line , but my time was faster. Nick has epic reaction time

That's because he just revs to 3k and sits there with his foot on the brake cooking the tranny fluid till the light goes green and he lets off the brake. Farken shit bloke right there.

Like someone's P/S fluid?

[Ants]

Right, so here are a few pics from yesterday's QLD SAU drag day.

Matilda servo wtf???? This was my first pit stop as I needed to go to the WC DESPERATELY DUE TO RED BULL!

the place where all the cool kids hang out.........................before the gates were to officially open

the turnout was better than expected considering the weather

queue forming nicely

the non-competing cars

Nicks LS1 powered skyline aka Abomination or A-BOMB as I like to call it.

*GORGEOUS*

this car looked fast just standing still - 500hp AWD Audi R8

just for you Greg

time for SKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDS

gone give it some Greg!

That's it Nick........................ you show em how it's done.

supra lightenin em up......

and still goin.....................................it was actually pretty quick 12.50 IIRC

have no idea who's driving what there but good to see them have a go

what happens next is up to you to use your imagination

Marty's R31 vs R33 GTR

R31 mania

got to put some names to some faces which was great and overall it was a sensational day despite the bad weather

the event also coincided with a Test n Tune but majority of competing members still managed to get good passes before other cars entered

weather held up just enough and eventually the heavens opened up around 5:30 and put things to a halt.

A BIG thank you to all of the execs who made this possible and to everyone that came along. Everyone was very well behaved except for Scott (SABBAi) who was more concerned about not having a tan on his legs then actually cheer-leading (actually I'mnot sure if I like any of those statements)

That's all i've got.......................................................................

OK just one more........

"11.1sec NUFFSAID"

.09 geez I new it was close across the line lol, another 30 meters and you would of had me

Cut a 0.012... Was pretty happy

[Cadmoon]

No pics of the Silver Slart...I'm impressed.

[Captain Natro]

Thanks ants great shots, as far as the Audi was concerned, heads up he only beat me by .094 of a second, which is about half a front guard lol...

[Ants]

No pics of the Silver Slart...I'm impressed.

It was un-intentional mate, and will endeavor to post more pics of everyone in future SAU events. I just need time to familiarise with everyone first

I'm not worried Just impressed as she loves to sneak into photos of other cars.

[RandomHero83]

My best time was the first run against the Abomination, Apart from the Axle tramp it ran really well.
