There are some pretty heavy hitters coming along I can assure you of that !!

Hehe the rice burner wont be any real threat.

When we were at Roma last (1/8th mile), we were both struggling to out do each other, so if we both break into low 15's or high 14's we will be happy.

308NUT and others wont need to be scared!!!!

Update on Trophies and Prizes.

C&G Auto Upholstery (Boomfunk's business) has kindly sponsored a Trophy with a great prize.

The Quickest Torana (Male) now has a $150 Gift Voucher from C&G Auto Upholstery attached to it !! How good is that :spoton:
The Most Entertaining Run will be a GMH-Torana.com.au Trophy with negotiations currently underway for prizes.
QTCC will sponsor one or two trophies. Possible prizes will be free membership or membership renewals to the club (I still need committee approval for this).

Stay tuned for more sponsorship and prizes. If anyone else would like to pitch in, give me a hoi. All a sponsors will recieve 12 months worth of advertising in the "Torana Times (QTCC Newsletter)".

I will see on Saturday mate. I ordered some go fast bits and they arrived today.

BTW - does anyone know how to hook up NOS? :P

I spoke to Willowbank today and we have access to the tower where the announcer dude sits and where the times for runs print out. As I will be busy on the day running around taking photos, racing, meeting and greeting folks etc I was wondering if any would be interested in doing a bit of announcing? Even if it is just for 15-20 mins whilst your car is cooling down or what ever that would be great. We dont NEED an announcer but I reckon it would a bit of fun for the day.

Cheers,

Tony

Willowbank has been paid. We are all systems go for The Drag Day on the 28th.

The following have all paid and secured their places. I still need to hear from Rollo and NSS308. If you guys are out there and keen, give me a call on 0410 032 727 so I can organise payment with you.

We still have a few trophies looking for a sponsor. If you have a spare $15 and want to sponsor a trophy, please let me know. So far C&G Auto Upholstery, Rodomo, Myself, QTCC and GMH-Torana.com.au have kicked in sponsorship and/or prizes. Big thanks guys !!

Steve (mumstaxi) will be judging the Most Entertaining Run. Make sure you have his attention before you decide to blow a diff or pull a half track wheelstand.

I will be judging the Best Burnout. Make sure you have slipped me a sly $50 before lighting 'em up.

I am still looking for announcers as well. C'mon guys, surely some else out there apart from myself likes the sound of their own voice?

Feel free to add or correct the details I have for your vehicles.

:bowdown: Thanks Mr-T, I do wonder if someone not racing a car may be a better/more fair judge of this tho ?, as much as id like to watch "every car" run down the track, i will (unless my car broken) be in the staging lanes getting ready to race my own car and could miss some important stuff ?

How about i just sponsor the Trophy instead ?....... call it a exemption from judging fee :spoton:

No worries Steve. PM sent and I am looking into a judge for the GMH-T sponsored "Most Entertaining Run".

BTW - Looks like Just Holdens magazine have kindly offered prizes, sponsorship and a write up. I just need to confirm something with the admin team to get this happening.

Good point about racing and prob being in the staging lanes most of the time, I got a couple of mates coming with me, I'll ask if they might be interested in being judges of the burnouts ...

Pallbag - We need a judge for the Most Entertaining Run. I have the Best Burnout covered already. Ideally some GMH-T representation for the Most Entertaining Run is sought, however if none is forth coming, I personally dont have a problem with your mates judging it.

GMH-T members, does anyone have a problem with this, or does someone want to put up their hand to judge?

I still need big mouths in the tower too while I am at it. The alternative is me mixing up a collection of John Denver and Aqua to play over the PA..... your choice. :D

Your flight is booked Matt. Go to Tullamarine and hop on flight UC308. You will have to go the Dreamer Airlines terminal. Flight departs at 5:30am on Saturday morning. :P

NOOOOO !

Don't fly with that ^ Airline they have the worst ever maintanence record, as they don't do correct pre-flight inspections.



Below is a photo of a plane apprehended by the Aviation Safety Bureau ,you can see that they clearly missed a HUGE CRACK ! in one of the windows.....
