Hey Rene!
Bring the VN, Bring a shopping trolley if ya have to but i think you know how much fun it was to give it a go!
I hope that HEAPS more girls give it a go, even if its in their man's car it would be great to see heaps of chicks having fun!

micksgtr: Good stuff! the more the merrier!

Thinkin that the missus really wont approve of me heading over now guys!

Apparently even though I was thinking of her safety and comfort and stuff I have still done a bad thing by purchasing a V8 Powered AWD vehicle for her to drive to work.

Silly me for thinking about her for once, next time I will think only about myself...







Ok so maybe I was thinking more about me than her when I bought it... :spoton:

Are we having shopping trolley racing down the quater? :fool:

That could be funny... :tease:

Maybe a relay... 1/4 mile is a long way to push a shopping trolley. :spoton:

There is no way in hell that she would even consider trying to drive the Hatch. She aint even that keen on being a passenger in it.

As for the new car, its that slow its not funny.

Don't worry, it can't be that slow, I took my subaru brumby down the 1/4 mile at the last day and almost did 20 secs flat, that was me TRYING to give it a flogging! :fool:

just bring something and have fun!

I am all about having fun but trust me I am not going to bring a mid to late 15 second car all the way over there to have fun when I drive a low 13 second car to work everyday.

Doesnt make much sense to me.
Gotta see how things go now we have made the purchase. Maybe we will bring both so I have some way of towing the hatch back should I get enthused enough to break it yet again.

Hmm, may have hit a snag with my attendance. I got some tickets to the cirque de solei whatever from the in-laws for Christmas, you know family thing, all the brothers and sisters and partners etc. family bonding time. No prizes for guessing the date the performance is on.

I'm going to have to keep you posted as to whether I sign my death warrant or go the the circus :cry:

He he he...GO RACH!!!
Looking forward to this, so are we going it alone again? (preferred) or are we having a multi make/multi club day?

The last one was great, not too many cars allowed everyone a few runs....I reckon too many cars = not enough time.

Thoughts?

I think it should be go it alone. We have enough Torana forum members to be able to do this. Like you said, to many cars, not enough runs.

yeah so far lets just keep it the way it is going, if you have a mate you want to bring that is fine, but if we just put posts out inviting everyone we will loose the torana aspect to it!

I cant wait guys! im going to get my arse into gear now and put the 9 inch in and also sought out L34 pump to fix the fuel probs! If i still have time and money i might get an exhaust shop to flange up my exhaust system so i can run LOUD!!!

At this stage we are booked and confirmed to have the track to ourselves.
I would suggest though that you invite your mates with similar interests to us as it's a great day to get out there and have some fun!

Wraith: Maaaate... I'm glad that Rach had a go in the back yard.. Just wait till she does it on the tarmac!! And the BEST thing is that at Heathcote, if you both have helmets ( available to hire), you can BOTH go down the strip together in the same car!! Just the thing to let you teach her how to do it! FROM THE PASSENGER SEAT! HAHAHAHA!! That's what i did with simmo in the ford... She watched me for one pass.. then they keys were hers! I only went for one run with her ( or was it two? I cant recall) to help her out then she was beating my times AND reaction times!!

We NEED 40 cars guys! We've got a heap commited, but we need 40 cars to make the day a success or we'll be charged extra to race! (Heathcote have to cover their costs.) Invite your mates, If you know good people with other makes of cars they're welcome! Just remeber it's a FUN, Hassle free, relaxed day!

Cheers!

By the way, i think we need a few/lot more cars than last time, during the day their lul's in the proceedings where nobody was running.
If this could be avoided it would be a great event.

My 2c worth!

hmmmmmm, have we found out if people without a licence can race? I'm really interested, Dad may wanna take his new car out for a run maybe, and we bought a VN manual off the forums to teach my brother to drive a manual in, but it's future maybe a burnout car or something, treat it for what it is I say :P lol... Time will tell, do we need to confirm by a set date?

Liam. As long as you have parental Consent then an unlicenced driver CAN race! I think there was an age limit, I know that Heath checked up on this and got the green light!

Confirmation as soon as possible is apprecated because it allows us to plan for the day, but we will need to lock it in at least a couple of weeks before the event!

Cheers

i wont be puting the 9inch in the Orange beast anymore, i am going to put that in the SS...

But i took the car for a drive to and she is driving like CRAP! i need to give it a good tune, and i might take the drop tank out as well, to help fix the fuel surge issue. I also found that Rare Spares sell reco L34 fuel pumps for about $90, so i might pick one of them up and put it in!

I have to do a low 14sec pass before i can even consider selling the orange car!!!!
