Awesome work everyone that raced and spectated

Great to see Abflug and Two06l smashing out some very low 11's, 2rismo smashing some very low 12's and anyone else I forgot hahaha

[Morgs]

Was a good event I reckon, look forward to the next one

Some good times as well

[Blitz]

Damn I would have loved to watch Stacey and Paul run.

What was the best time for TWO-06L?

[funkymonkey]

argh... that's what I forgot about today... crapsticks... pics/timeslips?

11.2 and it looks as though "our"..(read borrowed) box has sustained damage. I tried very hard not to break it but stock GTR boxes just dont cut it with this sort of power. Promise was shown with our set-up as 1.6 60' times were seen as well as 130+MPH.

Decent day for $25, pity the officials don't understand the rules

I still find it interesting how with such a wide variety of cars attending wed nite street meets that the majority of the "street cars" that race at these weekend major events have never been to a wed nite street meet.

Awesome day...even though I got a little roasted in the sun. Definately will be there for the next one

two.06l, your car looked and sounded awesome from the stands. Well done on the car and the times posted.

Great to see a heap of other Skylines out there posting up some good times as well. Congrats to everyone who competed.

BTW, did any of the rotaries end up breaking 7 secs? I had to leave just before 5pm, so I didn't get to see them run during the evening...

[Guest two.06l]

Morning ppl, nice to see many of you yesterday.

Yesterday was good for me as I could watch Pauly and Twoogle race. Twoogle was looking and sounding awesome, thanks Mason.

I had to say 'enough is enough' when at 8.00pm, after a full day of racing, Paul is still trying to find that elusive .2 of a sec. I did not want to be there at midnite pushing twoogle onto a trailer with a smashed gearbox.

Looking forward to Drag combat now as the new rules seems to really suit slow chick drivers like me. Start infront, and try and stay there, apply breaks before the finish line if in dought. STACE

ahhhh! now it makes sense! I was wondering what all the fast fours ricers were doing at Eastern Creek when there was a race meet on next door

Well done to all the SAUers who ran, it was a damn hot for racing yesterday

[Guest two.06l]

pics anyone? these are the only ones I took. Took lots of vidoe, but my photoshop is playing up and it will only download pics. These are the only ones I took, none of SAU cars........sorry

Was good to get the car out on the track and meet some of you guys.

Did 11.2 with a 1.9 60 foot so we need more grip off the line. The down side to the day for me was breaking the HKS box. Hope i can get it fixed for Drag Combat.

[BU5TER]

Real nice to meet you Abflug, great times for the not so great 60ft will be exciting to see it out there in the future running some 10's

[2rismo]

Great day with some not so great times. Learnt a bit more about my setup (read: tyres) and will make some small changes for next time.

Was funny that my car went 12.3 @ 95mph though. That was worth a giggle - running 12.36 on a 12.40 dial-in wasn't so funny hehe...

Yes after doing 12.4-12.6's all day to then do a 12.3 whilst braking was quite impressive

Hope nobody had their car broken into. The little event organisers at the parking gates said that their were heaps of breakings and to let them know if their were any issues. My van was in 1 piece

[NXTIME]

I red WRX and a white VL Calais were stoeln from the car park at about 6pm last night. Quite a number of cars were broken into also. That was one of the first things that popped into my head when I parked my car - lack of security and the field of cars around that would be a thief's playground.

I was good to see a few people from SAU. Paul and Stacey, every time I went to the pits/staging lanes to say hello you weren't around. So I took some pics anyway.

Bad luck about the HKS box, abflug. Any idea what went wrong? Congrats on the 11.2.

Adrian, what did you change with the car to make it revert back to it's quicker running? Unlucky with the break out mate.

What was it with some races having different class cars running together? Looked like they were all over the place and hard to keep track of.

Overall, an excellent day and I look forward to drag Combat and Qld Jamboree. Hopefully there will be a few more Skylines racing.

Will post pics and videos tomorrow night.

[NXTIME]

Anyone know anything about this car? Don't know how I missed it:

[Mik]

I got knocked out in the first round because I accidnetly changed my boost setting.

I couldn't get the 1.6x 60ft times that I have done before, but I did manage a new best time of 11.3 at 124mph.

[2rismo]

Hey Mik, so much for the "You'll need 11's to qualify, low 11's" 16th qualifier in SR was 12.766!

NXTIME, only took two degrees timing out instead of 3. Everything felt better - the launch was marginally better, the burnout was better (finally) and the car was smooth as silk the whole run. I rushed into stage to try and put the 10.5 second rotary off and it worked. Cut a crappy light but then jumped on the brakes too late. The car sounded so smooth I wished i'd stayed into it. The time at half track was almot a tenth better than when I went 11.9 so I guess we'll see what happens next time.

More tyre pressure would have been good too. Bog central - even in 2nd.

2rismo I still think on your final run (where you broke out) that the rotary took longer than 20sec to stage. I was watching it carefully (hoping you would deliberately stage straight away to try and win that way, I know I would) and the starter had a stopwatch but he started it well after you had already staged and looked like he was hanging out until the rotary had staged.

Their was also another case where a guy in that white datsun 1200 with the blue nissan sticker on the side had video footage of him being held at the line for 48sec, yup they (wsid) really stuffed that up

I thought this would have been automatic with the timing system for that type of event rather than input from a person?

[NXTIME]

There was a number of instances where the rules were applied when they clearly shouldn't have, and vice versa. However, I did notice that the starter would not allow a car to stage because there were track officials checking the track after a pass.

The biggest brain explosion by officials in my eyes was Craig Melbourne's blue Mazfix RX3. In the elimations of Oz Mod, he was on a solo pass, and as he always does, he ripped the biggest burnout of the day (past the start line) and the starter decided to be anal and kicked him out. The crowd reacted by going from cheering and clapping Craig to jeering and booing the starter. he did let him run but no tiume was given and he was eliminated, ironically, on a solo pass!).
