Hey all,

I figured I would leave some notice on this meet. I will be heading out to WSID on the 28th of this month (January), for a Race for Real night.
I am trying to get as many people to head out as possible, as it would be a great night to meet up with some members, as well as put some faces to some forum names.

Competitors: $50
Spectators: $20

I will start a list below with nicknames, real names, and vehicle, and try and get as many people as I can below.
If we get enough cars, possibly Tiny will be nice enough to set up our own lane :spoton:

Lets get this one going sydneysiders. We missed out on a 2008 drag day, so lets get at least 2 in this year!

1) Mitchg - Mitch - LX V6 Torana
2) 2DOOR - Jeff - CV8 Monaro

Really sorry Tiny, went for a solo cruise with the wife to be and stopped at the pub but the line up for lunch was too long so headed to the nearest shops for some fish and chips. I completely forgot about the dawn run otherwise I would have at least kept and eye out for you guys.

Catch you on the 28th.

Hi Tiny,

A very Happy New Year to you and your club members as well. Trust all is going well thus far.

I have noted Wednesday, January 28 as your night and attached some information to help the night go smoothly.

Meantime, please respond with your mobile number� just in case of any unforseen circumstances.

Sincerely,

So we are officially booked in!

I've attached 3 PDF files so that you can have a read and understand the procedures for the night, as well as the drag racing basics.

I intend to be there at gate opening time this time to get maximum time on track!

See ya there! :burnout:

Of course they can mate, we've got 20 spots and i doubt we'll fill them all!

I've invited Anthony (Blue torry that was there last time) though a mutual friend who might also bring his skyline!

No chance for this meeting but I will see who has a car trailer they rarely use for future events.
