Bad luck jase... your car is cursed (you know it is!)
Highlight of the day: Watching scottys nissan patrol in the drags and snap a 1st to 2nd gear change and pull the front tyre off the ground! AWESOME LOL!
Only at Sandown, the rest of the tracks I do ok, Scottys patrol is nuts, I was in front of him cruising yesterday, out the back of the track just before the bridge thing he came around the corner with the weel about half a meter in the air for ages, at least 50 meters, probably more.
Good weekend guys loved it about time i had a car worthy of a few hot laps... being in the garage made it so much easier than being in the back car park.. did you guys see how full it got when they were lining up for track entry?
what a great w/end there were some top cars there...feel for the guy who put his imac HQ {think it was} well in that era into the wall in the burnouts sat there were some close calls...it was preety laid back this year great crowd
The quality of entrants cars is going down each year.
Way too many VH/VK&VN's. And what about the burnout comp just about every car was a Holden, Boring. I like seeing other makes enter.
Not many big name cars enter anymore, I don't blame them imagine being involved in a accident with some pea brain in a dunger VN.
I liked the **** heap Gemini panel van with the big block 427 stuffed into it, A car that you can kill tyres easy & reliable too.
And every year I laugh when I see some poor bugger that has paid $200 to enter his car but spends the whole time in the back car park trying to fix it, I saw numerous diff changes, water pump change & auto change.
You would think you can make the thing reliable, So you can be out there on the track having fun instead of fixing the bloody thing.
Jase thanks for the ride dude your just lucky that clutch fan didnt go 10 seconds earlier, it might have made a mess at that speed!
Spewing I didnt get a chance to come for a few more joyrides!
Heres a few pics from Tom.. (GTR071)

Did you enter your car?
Most cars there have had in excess of 20 or 30+ thousand dollars pumped into them... at the end of the day **** happens and theyre out there thrashing the hell out of thier cars... I bet they didnt know the diff was going to go or the water pump would fail.

Dude that would take weeks and weeks of saving dole cheques and cutting back on packs of winnie blues to be able to afford to make it reliable. Thats just way to much to ask for some.
My favorite moment of the hole weekend was a father full on kicking his 6-8 yr old son in the ass on friday for acting up and not managing to loose a drop of his VB in the process. His wife was lucky he wasn't wearing the wife beater as my guess is she would have been next on the list!!!

Its always had a scoop. Had a full hornet scoop at the start, then a reverse scoop... but its alot nicer... a proper cowl scoop moulded into the bonnet.
