i'd LOVE to bring the monaro down for some 1/4 mile fun!

I've got a few concerns though -

Costs - things are about to get tight money wise!
Travel - Driving the car down will be VERY expensive and i'm concerned about putting 2000Kms on the engine/driveline
Breakdown - possible damage concerns me especially when racing! (I hope to have my stallie done by then.... and dont wanna have to get it towed home if i break something!!)
Accomodation - Somewhere safe to store the old girl!

So yeah.. it's something i really WANT to do... but i'm a bit worried at this stage! I'll have to see how things go as time gets closer!

Cheers

If money allows I might trailer the LJ down for a bit of fun.

If not Karlie and I should still pop down in the commodore for a spectate.

Micklx: I've not done much towing, and i dont have access to a car trailer!!

it's something i'll look in to though, the falcon has a heavy duty tow pack fitted now so it *should* do it.......

Will look into it, but i aint making any promises yet!

Tiny, do you still have Joanne's(?) email? Could you send her one asking if they will hire the track out for a weekend in March? Better to find out sooner rather than later.
