I ran last year with the louvre on, but then again i was never going to be in a great hurry.

I certainly didn't bother the scrutineers for long neither.

I am sure they can pick the cars that need special attention.

Cool, my mates are just making sure they will be up to spec...

I suspect that a certain car might be running under 11sec though, and definately won't meet ANDRA regs hahaha

Could someone who knows all the details , start a new thread and put them all at the start to save trawling through this thread.

Also, in the previous years, was there any common place that most people chose to stay or eat etc ?
Or did everyone drive there in the morning and go straight home ?

Those rules are a bit over the top,
You can't use a mobile phone while drag racing ???
What if its an important call ?

And no thongs, what if its hot ?

Heath i wouldnt worry the VL turbo guys have been running nines without cages at heathcote for a while now. Heathcote is not an ANDRA approved track therefore have no governing power over it. Go to WSID however completly different as it is an ANDRA approved track

What are most people doing about Accomodation?

The last two years a group of us have all stayed in Bendigo for the night and made a good solid weekend of it. (Having a few drinks on the saturday night!)

I would reccomend the place we stayed at two years ago, it was safe and secure... (Last year where we stayed, Somebody tried to break into Wraith75's hatch while it was on the back of the trailer!!!)

I cant remember the name of the first place we stayed at... But it was around the corner from Makkas house, so maybe he can remind us?

I will be going up and back in one day. I will most likely just be bringing the LJ 4 door, seeing as the Coupe really needs a coat of paint and to be assembled, and I can't afford it at the moment. Unless someone wants to donate 10 litres of Lina Mint acrylic to Stav Racing the coupe will probably be in storage for 12 months. :fool:

I'm painting the inside as well, like the cabin area Lina Mint and the inside of the roof and everything... Just the boot and the engine bay will be black...

Also for touch ups. :tease:

I agree with @milco@ 6 Litres would do all that mate! Go talk to Sav and Pakenham Paints! He will give you a good deal!
