The plan is to meet at the compeditor gate, That's what is asked of us by WSID.

They ask us all to go in together and scrutineer together, but i'm not sure how it all works.

I'm planning on getting there early.. like 5Pm when gates open so that i dont have to line up for long as i scrutineer.. So i'll defintiel get in there and sus out what's happening.

Hopefully we can all make it out reasonably early? I understand that alot of people have to work, so what time can we make it out there!?

Email from john:



Hi Rob
It�s not crucial for everyone to arrive together; just makes it a little easier for the drivers � as well as the officials. We�ll be fine.

Please tell each of the drivers to be sure to mark their entry forms with �GMH-Torana Forum� and to tell the credentials and scrutineering officials they are part of the lane reservation. This will assist the officials in making sure they each get the correct window stickers and are assigned to the correct staging lanes.

Competitor Gates open at 4:30pm, but credentials and scrutineering usually remain open until 7:30pm and 8:00pm respectively.

If guys are late, all we can do is run them as often as we can.

Regards,

John Henman

I wont be racing but have organized a shift swap so will be attending, is there a problem with bringing my car to the pits, i assume we will be grouped together there too, and it can be used for storage if need be for spare tyres etc?

Great stuff blokes!

This is going to be unreal :)
I'm aiming for 5Pm at the track myself.

Terry: I'm fairly sure you can park next to the pit area... but in the spectator section.. Not really sure as ive never been to watch!

Cheers!

as Mitchg said Ill be there in my Monaro and with a mate in a VZ SS, so if you need us were happy to join in. As for parking in the pits just follow someone you know who is competing and get them to inform the gate that you are their support vehicle.

LS1LX: thats right mate ( I posted ^ before seeing your reply!).

If you want to join us, Just tell the scrutineers your with the GMH-Torana lane.

I'll be hanging around somewhere too.. wont be hard to spot the car! If it's not in the pits it'll be in the staging lanes ready to run!

Cheers!

Hey fellas,

Thanks for the pm Keith, but my car is playing up and is a real bitch to drive...so I can't even take it for a spin. When I get it running right, no doubt I will be out for a couple of GMH-Torana cruises/events. Y'all have fun now =p

Sorry,
James

Im in for sure..

Although, went to Starr Performance today to fill up the NOS bottle and the place has shut down, finished, caput..
Thankfully, Sash from AN Racing topped me up and the L34 is ready to race!!

Its been a while, what do we need apart from:
- Rego papers
- Drivers License
- Helmet
- Appropriate clothing
- Slicks
- Front Runners
- NOS
- Tools

How much is an ANDRA License and when is it "compulsary" to have one?
The L34 has run 12.44 @ 118mph in street trim but with slicks its likely to run a lower time, maybe??

Anyhow, see you lads at the gates @ 5pm.

DD ( aka John )

^^^ I think its safe to say that the car won't run 10's, but Thanks for the info, I wasn't aware.
I dont really care what time it runs, I just want to hit 120mph, on slicks. I hear its a wild ride.

Cheers

John: When your firmly into the 11s you will need an ANDRA UDL (Unlimited Drag Licence), it's about $130 i hear and it's just paperowrk on the night.

10.99 and your going to need cages and tech stuff.. >140Mph is Chutes and all that, but mid-low 11s will just be that licence! I MAY be looking at that one day soon i hope! :)

Looking forward to catching up with everyone.. i'm *REALLY* pumped now! CANT wait!!!
