I swear every man and his dog who owned a truck decided to go down the Hume last night, Loretta suggested getting off the highway and going down through bowral and Mittagong instead so that's what we did, Chris had fun waking the neighbours with his BOV through Bowral and we saw some respectable speeds on the clock on the straights outside Robertson. We didnt get any rain but there were a couple of damp patches here and there and despite coming up on a slower car two thirds of the way down Mac. Pass. a good time was had by all.... thanks to Chris, Jonathon, Michael and Ryan for coming along....was great to catch up guys And by the way Jeff...after wimping out on the last night run to W/gong and Mac. Pass because of a little bit of rain..... You shouldnt be calling anyone else......SOFT

Its the Friday nite 28th mate...... And as a reminder to all who decide to come out....dont forget your radios guys... Krispy Kreme Liverpool.....8.30 Fri. night....Ill be there...

Bummer.....hopefully, we'll meet up on the next one.... Rob....do you still want to leave from Krispy Kreme at Liverpool? What time do you want to kick off?

And one more little detail..... Dont forget to unplug your fog lights "before" pulling the bar ends off.....

If your gonna start from Liverpool, as you suggested, Then why not do a loop...... Down the Hume, through the Stn highlands, down Mac. Pass, and back up the old princes Hwy to Mnt. Keira Rd or Appin Rd for the guys from South Western SYdney. OR....we start from Liverpool, as above, and when we get to the bottom of the Pass..... Those who want can turn round and go back up to the top and go across through Jamberoo, back through Albion Park then continue back up the highway as above..... To be honest, I dont really care......Im going stircrazy here...got to get out for a run.....

Come on guys.....we dont need tentatives...we need yes's..... Those who came out on the last one will know how much fun it was without the normal daytime traffic despite the rain early in the evening...... Mmm.....quick night run on the 28th .....and sinking a few cold ones with Rob and his girl on the 29th ......works for me

I cant make Phil's cruise on the 6th but Ill sure as hell be in on a night run, be it the 28th or the 29th...or whenever..... Count me in guys

I was at home tucked up in my little bed....I swear The next day,I got collared by two workmates as soon as I arrived.....and then....got called by a mate as well wanting to know if I was out that night....jeeess Besides...without an edit...I wouldnt be Im the hunt with one of those Audis anyway....

Oh yeah.....that looks beautiful......and the car looks neat too.......

Oh, what the hell....I reckon we should "ALL" spruce up and lob at the wedding to give our mate Rob and his lovely bride a guard of honour :bsflag: ......followed a mini cruise to the reception of course :loc: Seriously though....all the best mate for yourself and the future Mrs. Revheadrobbo....... *Bionic wishes his car wasnt the wrong colour*.......

But that was more than a month ago Phil.....Im going a bit stir crazy here eh' Looking forward to the next one for sure..... If your pushed for time, just send me a PM if theres anything I can do ok.... PS; Hope things are working out ok for your Dad

You could always get a set from Ford, take em' down to the sign shop and get your own made up.... Then take the Ford ones back and return them.

And if push comes to shove.....even an XR6 N/A is better than a Toyota Echo..... and again.....

Good advice.......and another little trick Ill tell you..... If your running your stock street front tyres, and Im assuming you are..... Try driving "around" the water box and reversing back into the water keeping your front tyres as dry as possible.....then do as Xrqtor suggested..... A wide front tyre can carry a lot of water.....all the way to the startline and its possible that you might be wheelspinning in the water carried by your own front wheels.....get the picture? Its just a tip, but Ive seen it pay off before.....

Well...that buggers that idea doesn't it......

Its ok....I fall asleep during Australian Idol too...... Sorry..had to be said.....

How much does one of these things cost?......might buy one and introduce it to the little mongrel next door that has taken to barking at all hours of the night....

Jeeesus..get caught with that little mix in the tank to or from the dragstrip

Ive had excellent results in the past with this stuff...turbos just love it....and its pretty good price wise too.... http://www.fuel2race.com/home.html

Pinched this from another site..had to post... You Know Your a Drag Racing Addict if: You have two dogs at home named “Snake” and “Mongoose. You want to have kids just so you can run a Jr. Dragster You know more about a drivers career than his wife does Your whipper snipper was blue painted by Keith Black You put a 60-foot launch pad in your backyard instead of a pool After your garage door opens you “stage” and wait on the tree before pulling out After one pass around the yard on your lawn mower you read the plug and fatten "er up". You can’t remember your spouse’s birthday, but you know the e.t. and speed records in every professional class. You think the purpose of wings is to prevent flight You catch yourself saying, "I wish stoplights would flash yellow before they turn green." That way you could get a better reaction time You know Hookers are headers You memorize the Summit and Jeg’s catalog so you can build your dream car in your mind when you’re bored "Going to the lanes" means getting ready to race, not going to roll some stupid heavy ball down a wood floor, to knock down pins. Your home page is set at NHRA.com or dragster.com. When introducing your family, You refer to them as your crewmembers. You see burnout marks in the pavement and try to determine how serious a car it was by the length and width of the stripes. Then you say, I coulda done better. You refer to a cold day as "fast air." While your squirting dish washing liquid in the sink , you’re thinking about priming the injector. You talk in your sleep and your wife wakes you up in the middle of the night and wants to know who Shirley, Connie, and Doug are. You describe someone who’s upset as being "on the rev limiter" You’ve even told a co-worker that your nutty boss finally "tossed the belt." You refer to an employee who called in sick to work as "having a cylinder out." You send a monthly letter to the RTA asking it to move the traffic lights to street level because looking up is messing up your reaction time. Your wife and kids report you missing 23 times a year. Your are more enthusiastic about getting your issue of DRAGSTER in the mail than a cheque. You don’t know Richard Nixon was from Yorba Linda, Calif., but you do know John Force is. You’ll spend $500 for a single slick, but you won’t spend more than that for all four new tyres on your daily driver. You have a shift light in your minivan You call the freeway offramp the "shutdown area" You refer to WSID and Willowbank Drag Strips as "the happiest Place on earth" While you’re shopping for underwear, you find yourself looking for an SFI tag. You know that all the things they clamed to do to that car in Grease can’t really be done at the same time. You have a CD mix of car songs, including "409," "little Deuce Coupe," "and "Shutdown." You honk and give a thumbs-up to any other car on the road sporting an ANDRA sticker. You drive 350 klms to your sisters just because there is a drag strip 20 klms from her house You take your helmet along when you go to buy new eyeglasses or check out cars. When something falls off of your car, you wonder how much weight you just saved. You bought a race car before buying a house. You're looking for a tow vehicle and still haven't bought furniture! The requirements you give your real estate agent are (in order of importance): 1) 8 car climate controlled garage with an attached shop. 2) Outside parking for 6 cars, a motor home, a crew cab dually, a 28' enclosed trailer and a 34' 5th wheel. 3) 3 phase outlets in the garage for your welder. 4) A grease pit. 5) Deaf neighbors. 6) Some sort of house with a working toilet & shower on the property - or - hookups for the motor home. You have enough spare parts to build another car. More than one racer supply store recognizes your voice and greets you by name when you call. You save broken car parts as "momentos". You've found your lawnmower runs pretty good on avgas (but doesn't particularly care for alcohol). The local police have a picture of your car taped to their dashboard. Instead of pictures in your wallet, you have time slips. After you tell your wife where you'd like to go on vacation she answers: "Why...is there a race there?" You are on a first-name basis with owners of every local speed shop. You are the type of person who kicks a rod out when you have to sit in a traffic jam for more than five minutes, yet,...you can spend five hours in the staging lanes. You wash your car like it was your firstborn child, you tend to its needs like it was your own body, you protect it like it's your family, then you drive it like you stole it. When someone asks your weight, you tell them the weight of your car with and without a driver You use racing fuel as an after shave. You treat a traffic light, like a Christmas Tree. During the off season you sit in the race car making engine sounds and pretend to shift gears. During the "off" season,you take an old tyre off of one of the many cars in your yard. Then proceed to burn it and inhale the tyre smoke. You take your wife or girl friend out to a fine restaurant and when she gets up to go the ladies room, you commence to draw on the table cloth the new engine design. She comes back and catches you drawing this engine that she had no idea existed. You then say, it's for a friend. You go to the Drag Strip on your first date, true love would be if she suggested it. That's when you find a old beer can ring and propose. Your wife says she expecting and you think that it means, she expects you to win the next round. You can find your way to any drag strip, but get lost going to your in-laws. You think about racing every 4.77 seconds. You know that POWERade is a drink and not, a new kitchen appliance. You know that "Breakout" refers to a driver running quicker then their dial in time, it's not a prison escape. You refer to a "nappy" as an absorbent blanket used to contain oil and parts incase of a blown engine. Not something you put on a baby even though, they both contain similar stuff, Oh No! ET to you means Elapsed Time not Extra Terrestrial. You know; Weight Transfer, refers to the front end lifting causing weight to be transferred to the rear wheels....... It's not a new wave diet! You use 10w 40 engine oil for bath oil

Reading on the LS1 site that one of the members wives works at the Adelaide hospital and tells him that doctors have told Ashley Cooper's family that he is now "brain dead". They are now waiting on his family to decide about turning off his life support systems. Just tragic.....you have to feel for them.....

Understatement of the day..... Thankfully Whincup held it all together and kept his nose clean to bring it home.... Courtney and Lowndes....both guilty of some stupid manouvres through the day....and taking an innocent Winterbottom out with their shananegns..... Steve Johnson gets shafted on the second last restart..... Garry Rogers must be doing handstands with the consistency of young Holdsworth..... McConville...jeeesus, who would have thought a result like that could have fallen into his lap.... HSV/Toll...from a Ford fans point of view.....what a great day...... Lastly , the carnage, and it was through all the support races too....heres hoping that Ashley Cooper and Matt Kingsley come out of it ok.....that crash during the ute race was nasty....

Todays lowlight.....the horrendous accident involving Ashley Cooper during the Fujitsu race.... Our thoughts are with both him and his family....

And after a great run to 4th place today.....hopefully,it'll give them the inspiration to take it.... Todays highlight.....well, apart from 1st, 2nd and 3rd.....was Dumbell taking out his new teamate P. Kelly...... What Id give to sit in on the debrief after that one..... :banghead:

Yeah, I thought about it once.....then decided it looked like a bit of a wank so I gave it a miss.
