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

DEATH WARRANT DEATH WARRANT!!!!! Just blame it on "the boys"!!!!! Would be awesome if you could make it with the car, but totally understand if it's not going to happen.... can we sabotage the cirque de solei or something???

That's awesome news your're bringing the beast down 830!!! Will be great to see it in action and to put a face to the name. This is going to be a rip snorter of a day, I can't wait!

PS. I would definitely be up for a meal afterwards at a local pub or something. I doubt we will stay overnight this time (as good as it was last time, we are now officially on a "toight" budget). Just the fuel bill for me alone is gonna hurt. 5 hours of driving the round trip, plus racing. Damn 825 Mighty Demon SUCKS the fuel!!!! I should fit my quaddie just for the trip up, lol!!!

PS. I can't confirm yet, but I'm pretty confident I will talk two mates in to coming as well... an LX Hatch with hot 308, T400, 9" and an LH sedan, 350 chev, T350, 9" and tubs with huge rubber.... will confirm closer to the date...

^^^ i think he has a bit of land next to his house i am sure a few cars with trailers could park on! haha

Brett it wouldn't be to hard to bolt up the quaddie for the trip up would it? While Deb puts on your racing tyres and sets the pressures, you can swap the carby's etc!

Be nice to see you line up against 830hp! then you will know what it feels like to get FLOGGED haha

well if the wagon still goes I'll be bringing it :D may only do a couple of runs though (28 spline axles with a blown big block is asking for trouble :rolleyes: )
if it isn't going I'm sure I can find something else to bring :rolleyes: how quick do you think the N/A deisel Patrol will run :tease: mind you I think the HQ does a better skid than the patrol would :huh: and if I bring the wagon I will be doing a skid ;)

G'day All,
Too lazy to read the previous pages, but is there anything going down after the drag day & where are most people staying, if so (will the cars be safe)? Will be driving down from Wodonga so may as well stay the night I thought. Also if anyone going to the event is from my neck of the woods or passing through on the way let us know so I'm not cruisin on my own.

Cheers
:D
