For all those that didn't get it from what was said above, the whole jamboree event has been cancelled/postponed to a later date due to the racetrack. Quite a stuff around, especially for all the interstaters, good for some like me who didn't quite get their car finished, and some that didn't want to rush. Everyone was complaining, but I guess thats racing, you choose to drive all the way interstate, there is nothing the event organisers can do about the weather..... Still, you'd think when it'd rained for 5 days straight they'd have just got out early and made it another weakend, would have save a few people som emoney. Ank, they have a whole new car, their current quad rotor is a completely new car and the old one was there as well today. 6BOOST

Gotta say big congrats to ollie for the weekend, he's driven this car since it was first on the road, every modification has taken place over a night or weekend, and he's done most of the spanner work himself, not to mention the engine is probably 50k old of constant abuse, and on a street tune, pump fuel, street tyres and full exhaust leaving the line on 4-6 psi of boost, he smacked out a 11.18@121. Congrats doodle 6BOOST Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I imagine that he is a bit sore.... and also a bit dissapointed.... it certainly speared right without much fuss and the initial impact look pretty full on... It was the only pass of any semi serious cars i watched from the line all day... glad i got to see it... glad that he's alright. he took one for the team.....

i know that its his choice to race it or not, but if the track wasnt prepped for a car like that and they let him run, the track owner/s should be liable for something there.. thats just bullshi/t
