And lucky last, here is TORANR AMORE's beast in action. This one was also extremely entertaining. Some quick wheel work kept it flying from one end of the pad to the other.....

Talk about jealous. Looks like a great day was had by all. I wish I could have been there. If only I could fit my car in my carry on luggage.

AWESOME pics Mate! I'm just beginning to capture this video footage... I'll make sure its posted up in small clips and also the whole lot for everyone to grab!

I watched the video and unfortunately i missed ALOT of cars i missed the DYO and everything! I was trying to help out in the time cards booth so wasnt able to video as much as i would have liked.

Next time we have a drag day we'll need a few volunteers to help out for an hour or so each to ease the burden on everyone!

Cheers Stay tuned for the video!
Tiny.

Yep mate there was a bit that i remeber! Will get it happening ASAP! Just so everyone knows... Heathcote uses those leaf blowers to clean teh track and the noise they make is captured by the camera more than teh cars at times! Hope it isnt a problem with yours shev!!

Cheers!

No worries Tiny, anything is good for me. Thanks heaps for all your work.
While I'm at it, I think a special mention should go to the lady (sorry don't know name) who was passing the timeslips for most of the day, what a legend!

And when would you have had time to race it?? I think deb was having too much fun let alone catching up with everyone!

I think the next one we hold will have to have a panel of volunteers to help out during teh day to free us up to race! (Yes i intend on having the monaro ACTUALLY there this time!)

Cheers! :rockon:

Just wondering if anyone has a pic of the red LJ on the drag strip. My mates were to slack to take a photo on the day. I e-mailed Heathcote raceway but they did not have a pic either. Everytime I go to the drags, I get a photo of my car and place it on the wall in my shed with the date and best time for the day on it. Any pics would be appreciated. Thanks

I'm pretty sure there will be pics of all cars taken by my mate who was standing at the ster line most of the day..... except he's waiting on Sony to fix his laptop so that he can use his DVD burner again! ARGH!

As soon as i get the piccies, I'll post them up! Cant promise when though! Sorry! i had hoped it would be sooner!

I gotta get me a better camera, instead of using my Nokia.

OK here are some pics from the cruise up to Heathcote for the gmh-torana.com drag day:
