17-11-03, 08:18 GMT+10#61 Me and FLWLSS had a good day but it was ****en hot as which didn't help many cars run quick times, good to see most big VL shops have some cars there, didn't see any good numbers being run due to weather, we left mid afternoon so may have been better numbers ran later at night

ps. next time it may be a good idea to stay away from lygon street before a big race.

Yes i must agree they looked to be fairly similar in the engine & tyre department pole driver in fact they looked very much the same as another companys engines whom i wont name so i dont know whats the go there.
Dont know about the spark plugs,methanol & NOZ situation though but if they are using it on this car then its certainly not showing as i did not see it complete a pass all day,maybe the bottle was empty or it blew the welds on the intake(Fast and Furious)
Look for yourself.

17-11-03, 18:03 GMT+10#69 Hey there boy's,
I got back myself last night after a 12 hour trip each day (24 hour's travelling time in 48 hour's!), and what can I say, you Melbourne boy's know how it's done!
Costa a.k.a darkstar, sorry champ I couldn't get through to you on the day, as, like you mentioned, mobile phone service was non-existent over in Heathcote, as you would've read in my S.M.S.
The temperature was sitting on a scorching 40 degree's pretty much all farking day, so it was expected that car's weren't gonna be running p.b's on the day.
I went down with the T.R.P crew, as my mate was debuting his WRX.
Unfortunately, the day wasn't bringing out the best in the car's we took down, but the car's still ran some good number's.

17-11-03, 18:20 GMT+10#70 The Hyundai Accent went through for a 9.5 second pass, before the engine spun a bearing straight after, meaning it was out of the event.
The ex-MR WRX Subaru WRX wagon was running consistent 9.4's all day, but the excess heat wasn't allowing the 8 second pass the boy's were chasing.
The XSIV4S Subaru WRX bested with an 11.5, but was misfiring in the upper rev range, as well as drama's with the fresh experimental auto tran's holding it back from running quicker.
The DVU55Y Subaru WRX ran a best of 11.9, with the car refusing to hold more than 20 psi boost, but still remained respected, being the debut for the car and driver.

17-11-03, 18:28 GMT+10#71 As for the VL Turbo's, it was unbelievable to actually see these jet's in person, with some of the car's on show stunning the crowd's all day. Some of which I seen up close:
PANNIC
VLBT1
JPC Calais
GMHTBO
MACJET
HIFLOW
RAJAB Calais
TPSCRT
and the list goes on............
As for the track itself, I couldn't believe how relaxed the attitude was at Heathcote, with everyone conversing about their car's etc etc.
I could go on forever, but I'll cap it with a big thumb's up to everyone in attendance, as it was one of the best event's I've ever been too.
