Remember that ALL are welcome, Especially if you have not raced before! It's a really great relaxed day and its a great time to see what you and the car are capable of without pressure!

As i said in the last post, I would like to invite some Victorian based friends who are right into the drag scene, They have contacts in the Turbo world down there and so could bring along some really quick drag cars. If everyone approves of course! ( Would be awesome to see a 9 sec pass wouldnt it!!)

Cheers!

[dattoman]

I don't see 10 second Tiny on that list

[Tiny]

As ive said before I Most Likely WONT be able to make it to the drag day. Unfortunately committing to going to USA next year means that every spare cent is going towards that trip!

I'll do all i can to help organise the day, and IF things work out i'd love to be there, but i cant promise!

Oh.. and 10 sec? I dunno if the new engine is *THAT* tough!! ( maybe with a 100 shot of gas... HRmmm.....)

Shane: This kind of race day is exactly what your after! Its a no pressure, fun day to see what you and the car can do!

At our last day we had a HEAP of drag racing newbies and i think every single one of them absolutely loved it!

It's not a great deal of money and its a good day to come out and meet some forummers! Not to mention see what the car can do! And i reckon you'll be WAAy quicker than 20s

[MRLXSS]

rene broke 20's in that car shane, so im sure you can too!

I was a drag racing virgin before the last drag day and i had an absolute ball! You have to come! it would be great to meet some new faces as well!

[Tiny]

I think rene ran some really good times in that car didnt she? I know she enjoyed herself!!

[Heath]

heheh I was reading that laughing.

I don't want to commit to anything yet, but let's just say it won't be suprising if there happens to be a bright green LX turn up on the day running on two cylinders.

[Heath]

Before I finished reading that sentence I full on thought you were saying I was going to be running on foot down the quarter or something, LOL.

Thanks Tim

btw I remember reading somewhere on these forums a few tips to really aggressively get power out of your red six (like playing around with timing etc and not spending much money), does anyone remember?

[Tiny]

Oh yes sven! I remeber the little rote! that was mighty cool! He would be MORE than welcome again!

This is looking great Keep em coming peeps! THe more GMH-T people we have the better!

I'd like to offer the day to some friends again with various cars, but i'll hold off for a litlte while yet!

Would we like to see some variety at our drag day?

[Tiny]

Absolutely unreal!

Christ... I'm going to HAVE to come down!!
