OK ive had my sook....I"LL BE BACK!!!!!

Dropped twoogle off today to have a cro-moly ANDRA spec cage fitted, when i come back ill have NOS too. LOOKOUT YOU BENT EIGHT BOGANS!!!!!

Hi Paul, Matt here. You changed your box in my friends (JTRACING) pit garage. It was good to see twoogle run so hard in the drags, pity the judging seemed a little one sided. I spose it was "street drags" and what you encountered was nothing you wouldnt get on the street. We should have expected some wanker to claim victory in a race he lost, just it is usually in the pub a week later.

I am interested in the specs of your roll cage, Will it include side intrusion bars ? Any idea on cost ?

Thanks

Hi Matt, it is ANDRA spec cro-moly...i.e as per the spec sheet out of the ANDRA rule book and must include side intrustion bars. The cost is around $2500.

A GTR could not possibly have won, i had an inkling something like that would have to happen. Possibly should have kept my head and asked for the best out of three as the guy dropping the flag was playing games with the start too. Even still a race off with the HB Torana for runner-up should have been offered as i clearly had the wood on him too!

Who is doing your cage ? Got a feeling ill be needing one to

[SIKO1J]

Cool,

I must have a look at Jamies ANDRA book when I am up at the shop next time.

The margin in the final was such that you probably would have beaten the runner up by a significant margin.

FWIW the gold "GASSED" cortina? threw a leg out of bed on the very next pass. The motor was totalled.

call Croydons they put me onto this fella at Penrith, he does all their work...BTW Abflug got a power curve that looks like this....

[fatz]

very nice hes at parramatta

very well priced as well

give glen a call on 0403606314

all you drag boys would love his rotorbishi

lanca wagon with a 20b t51r combo..crazy

[Beer Baron]

love the power curve. quite impressive that it goes from 190 odd KW at 116kph to 340kw at 132 kph. that is a big, hard hit of midrange power. very nice.

Well me and a mate went on the Friday and if it wasn't for the Burnout comp late that nite and seeing/hearing TWO.06L scream around the track I gladly would have asked for my money back.

The friday was incredibly unorganised, their were about 3 proper displays (took me a whole 30mins to see everything), the dyno comp was on and off all day, the drifting well.... after a 1hr wait at turn 2 (expecting plenty of action obviously) they did a whole 2 laps before it was over, what a waste of time that was. Not to mention on the first lap a guy in a 180SX had engine trouble and was stranded on the inside ripple strip of turn 2. The marshal was happy to just sit and wave the yellow flag not even trying to assist him with moving his car off the track, instead he gladly let all the cars drift around the 180. A rescue ute even drove over to the marshal and then disappeared again. I was just waiting for a massive accident on the main straight from the cruise too (just like what happened in the street racing if anybody happened to witness that).

Their were more marshals at the Dyno Comp then their was for the entire event, 1 guy was walking around with his marshal shirt undone like he was at the beach or something, he looked and acted like a drunk dropkick and i gladly gave him a serving... he wasn't too impressed.

I did intend to go for the Fri+Sat (knowing that it probably would be bigger and better on the weekend) but after the very dismal effort on fri I decided against wasting another $50 on the Sat and did some other things instead.

Power Cruise... Power Schmooze!

I went on the Friday as well and totally agree with what was said above - I went home pretty dissapointed to be honest...thinking to myself that I get more action for $15 on a Wednesday night at WSID. Although I was somewhat glad to hear that at least the Sat and Sun were a lot better, so I'll probably give it another go if there's another one in August. I'll put the Friday down to a few organisational stuff up's due to having a new event at a new venue.

That's exactly what my mate said, better value for $15. I'll happily go again (hell I go to all the EC/WSID events.. except Motor Bikes pfft, I practically live there) but next time i'll make sure that I attend on a sat or sunday.

Looking forward to this w/ends "Holden vs Ford + Bandag Bullet + Burnout Comp" at WSID, now that will be $25 well spent. Then the following week the "Compack Attak" is on

We went out on the friday to spectate and got excited by the fact that you could let loose out on the track . So With an old set of rear wheels and my 4wd fuse in hand we ready to enter on the saturday but when I got up it was raining so we didn't bother . If there is another event on in August like mentioned? will certainly be entering and joining in with the skyline crew to show these v8 boys a thing or two .

Powercruise is an entrants event and not a spectators event. Enter your cars next time and see what you think of it.

Hey Paul + Stace

Did you notice that the powercruise site does not list you in the top 4 of the street racing. The place is blank where I would expect you to be named.

There is $200 going wanting there + a trophy !!

Get onto it!

we have e-mailed them about this issue....and recieved no response back (typical)

[Panikin]

V8 bogan's don't have the mental capacity to comprehend how they could be beaten by a jap car, so to keep their igrorance from being questioned and ommit the beast.

Hey guys just came across these photos and decided to share them with you all :Bang: :wassup:
