The catching up after the event is half the fun!

We stayed at a hotel last time which was great, but i think we got a bit noisy for the other guests by about 11!

I havent planned accommodation yet, but i'd be more than keen to catch up on the saturday night before i head home sunday!

I turn 18 on the 20th of April, and im definately going to go (just to watch though). It will be my first decent drive on my own.

All my mates have already "baggsed" the seats in the car so they'll be there too.

Why come just to watch!? Why not spend the $40 bux and give it a squirt down the 1/4 mile!?

Very nice indeed! But remember, we need MINIMUM 30-40 cars, so we're currently only just scraping in, assuming every single person shows up. I'd like to see this list hit 40 - 50. Bring it on!

There is also the bonus that if we get 50 cars, then Heathcote will refund us $10 per car, cash in hand. Good way to make some money for the forums, or use as we decide to use.... just something else to think about!

Only 11 weeks to go now

I see no drama with that! It's always going to be the GMH-Torana Drag day, but a few other cars can only help the situation!

Cheers!

My mate in his XB GT is planning on having a stinkin hot 351 run in by then, so if that all goes to plan then he'll be there. But he ain't sure yet.

And I will definately not be bringing the LX. Now it's certain, lol.

Actually it could be some good competition between the Polar White XB (that you saw tonight at Knox, Matty) and your orange beast... They're heavy bastards lol.

Sadly the owner of a red 11 second XB that I was chatting to isn't too keen on the Heathcote track so won't be attending :P

Ill make sure to get my Hatch dyno'd and also fit the 9inch before then, so then i should be able to pull some good times!
