Except it wasn't her fault....something broke in the back end of that car.....no risk

Was supposed to officiate at the drags but they canned it on Sat. morning.... C&V..... I'm putting together a night run right now and although I did a reccy on the first one, Ive since changed it and will do another one next week sometime....part of it is down your way.... If you want to come along for a squirt, I'll send you a PM when I work out what night I'm going ok....

Yep....I tried sitting in it in the carport, closing my eyes, making all the right noises and imagining what its like to have 75 extra kilowatts under my right foot.... But its just not the same you know.....

After what seems like an eternity......finally get my car edited.....and what do I get? Forecast of 5 days of bloody rain Got it done on Thursday, couldn't help myself and went for a skid (literally) on Thursday night...... All I got was T/C light blinking at me all the time so I turned it off.... From then on it was just wheelspin in 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear (don't even bother with 1st) and axle trap that sounded like the diff was trying to jump into the boot before I wimped out because I didn't want to do any damage......sheese...what I'd give for a nice bit of dry roadway right now Ugh. I'm going to do a bit of a writeup on the process and thank those involved, but right now,I'm just hanging out to test it first

Ok, I can see why you would have to be careful with residual pressure in the line while disconnecting the filter. But why do you have to deactivate the power source? If the ignition is off.....there's no power to the pump anyway??

A BA T in blueprint trying to find traction on The Boulevarde at Miranda this morning......

11.20pm on the night of the cruise.....and no-one has posted yet?? Come on guys....how was it?.....

I think it more a case of manufacturing and selling more so than actual taking........they got done with pill presses , cash and all sorts of incriminating stuff....basically, he's RS.... I put Brett on the breath tester at the drags several times last year...and he came up fine every time.... However, this is just the sort of publicity we don't need and the bit that makes me really mad is the way that he drummed up an enormous fan base of our young people through his racing and all the while he was peddling this poison to them behind our backs..... Sorry, no sympathy here...cretin deserves everything he gets.....

We went to GhiaGirl's place at Albion Park for a BBQ a few cans and a game of street cricket with the kids.... Top day but the fog on Ousley on the way home was a real peasouper......ugh.

that's ok smicky....Ive got two so I guess I can lend one to you and dagurly for the day ok......

A really clean BA Turbo in Blueprint heading down Mt. Ousley this afternoon...... Personalised plate CH***.......

Could comment....but I won't. Glad to hear that you didn't have any dramas with the car while you are were away mate.....

Wifes new Labrador puppy...... This brings current pet tally to.....7 chickens, 2 dogs,1 cat, 2 budgies and 2 Huntsman spiders. This leads me to another idea.....why not have a "dog' cruise sometime? After the've all had their vaccinations, get together at a dog park or something and socialise our dogs with others you know

Not a big black guy named "Bubba" is he?

About 50 bucks at the wreckers......

The gokart deal at Eastern Creek looks to have fallen on its bum.......so Ill still come over for a squizz and catch up with the guys..... We've got an Australia day deal on Sat. arvo and, Im taking the grandkids to Jamberoo on Sunday so I can't hang out till 1.30am ok...... ....sorry

I'm sure you won't have any dramas getting the cars mate....... Just give us a date and another prod about 2 months out from the wedding ok....... As Aaron said,...... you should be thinking about what colours you want congratulations too.....

WSID will also allow the AS1698 standard helmets to be used at street meet level as well...... Are you an ANDRA licence holder?

From the ANDRA site..... CLARIFICATIONS OF CURRENT AUSTRALIA STANDARDS WITH REFERENCE TO HELMETS ANDRA has been contacted by a number of competitors concerning a perceived lack of availability of helmets meeting the current Australian / New Zealand Standard. It also appears that many helmets currently on the market have the older AS1698 standard decal, indicating that the helmet may not meet the required AS/NZS 1698:2006 – AS/NZS 1698 standard. The AS/NZS 1698:2006, which is also labelled as AS/NZS 1698, supersedes both the older AS 1698:1988 and AS 1698:1974. After further communications with Standards Australia, confirmation has been again obtained clearly stating that the actual accepted standard and labelling is the newer standard; AS/NZS 1698:2006 – AS/NZS 1698. Older standards are no longer recognised by Standards Australia for motor sport activities and therefore are not acceptable. ANDRA again wishes to inform all Tracks, Track Officials, ANDRA Officials, National Control Council Members and Division Delegates that it was Standards Australia that took this course of action which ANDRA needed to implement as a matter of safety. The following was sent directly to ANDRA from Standards Australia / SAI Global as part of a recently written reply on this subject: “Since the Standard was revisited in 2006 our label has changed slightly. We never put the year on our standards mark labels, the way you can differentiate the new label in that it now shows AS/NZS 1698, the previous label was only AS 1698.” The decal / sticker that appear on all helmets meeting the new Australian Standard is: Other helmet standards accepted by ANDRA, directly related to relevant performance levels found in section 4.10.8 Helmets of the 2008/2009 ANDRA Rulebook, are SNELL SA2000, SNELL SA2005 , SNELL M2000, SNELL M2005, SFI 31.2A, SFI 41.2A (or later) and BS 6658-1985. On November 5 2008 the NHRA issued a media release titled “NHRA Technical Services previews rules changes for 2009 season”. Through this release there were several references to the K98 helmet standard no longer being permitted. Currently ANDRA does not permit, nor accept the K98, as an accepted helmet standard for use in ANDRA Championship Drag Racing. Hope this helps....
