A crew of us will be heading up to supernats a yearly pilgrimidge we take. Great show and good racing, all put on by a good team and of coarse Ahmed. So if anyone is heading out dont be shy to come say g'day we will be there with the dark blue FC Holden with a v8, and also a dark purple vl commo with a rb20. If any of you drag regulars are going to be there let me know so I can do the same, come say g'day!!

Cheers,

Daniel

Seen your car doing some runs, looks cool and goes well also awesome street car you have there!!!

Old man picked up overall winner of show and go, so it was a long but good weekend, awesome event that gets better and better every year. Hopefully in the future ANDRA and WSID will actually work for there money and prepare the track properly, as alot of people we talked to said it was ridiculousy bad, people like Mark Hayes with the baby blue torana said it was the worst track they have experienced there since it opened!!!

I've been to pratically every single event WSID has ever held (except for motorbike events pfft) and I must say that the Supernats was easily the best event i've ever been to by an absolute country mile.

Their is nothing better than watching some of Sydney's best Rotors against some blown v8's running door handle to door handle. It was also nice to see some decent burnouts (compared to the lame ass wed nite attempts).

Soon as their was a problem on the track (oil down or accident etc) Ahmed was straight out into the pits hustling guys to do some big burnouts or do something crazy. That's exactly how an event should be run, none of this 30min break stuff and then cut things out (or short) because they run out of time.

The Supercruise was tops to watch, their was too much happening at once, if only I could have kept 1 eye on each end of the track I would have been happy. Their were also plenty of babes around the place (i'm hoping someone is going to post some pics up???).

The perfect leadup to the Summernats in 2mths :D

Top event, 9.8 out of 10 (loses 0.2 because it was a hot day).

I agree. It was defnitely the best organised event I have been to at WSID and much better than any of the other Jamboree or import drag events I have been to. There was never a break of more than 15 mins with either burnouts or other entertanment that made for an action-packed day. Well done to Ahmed and the Supernats group.

that bezerkly skyline looked like he strugeld to get his launch right, bogged down everytime i saw it. but looked like it had some pretty mean top end

First time racing EVER and he clocked a best of 12.2 @ 124mph! When I told him what 124mph translates to in terms of potential he freaked out a bit... lol Not bad for some well sorted bolt-ons.

Look for him at every event in the immediate future (I think the bug has bitten) :P

It was a top day and what an event for his first run ever! Talk about pressure to perform :unsure: . 12.2 was a good time and 124mph is brilliant! We only got a few runs so there isnt much practise time!

It was an adrenalin filled day and night, with sunburn , laughs and snags as well....

;):D:P:D:P

awesome day, bit burnt now though.  that bezerkly skyline looked like he strugeld to get his launch right, bogged down everytime i saw it. but looked like it had some pretty mean top end

I have to agree this years Supernats was awesome had time in between runs to head up into the grandstands and watch the big boys play little dissapointed though as the heat worked against me all day with some new Falkens I could not get anywhere near my best time.

Did have some issues though with intercooler piping though.

13.9 was the best for the day.

Had fun doing burnouts on the supercruise though

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
