Are there any non ANDRA sanctioned strips in S/E QLD? I was told the track at Warwick was one of them, but i couldnt find details on their site saying yes or no. Is there much difference between and ANDRA strip and one that isnt? Surely they non ANDRA tracks would still be 100% safe and credible in regards to timing ect? I noticed your VL ran a 9.9. Was that in full street trim? Is yours tubbed?

I have a mate in QL who says willowbank is definately andra sanctioned, never heard of warwick. Yes other tracks are just as accurate with regards to timing etc, as safe? not so sure on that one. My car went 9.9 exactly as i drive it on the street but with slicks on. 28x9 tyre with standard ass end right down to 22 year old rubber bushes (full interior with stereo, pump fuel bp98, no transbrake) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah i know willowbank is 100% an ANDRA track, but i was told there is also a track out at Warwick that may not be an ANDRA track. Heres the site i found: http://www.warwickdragway.com/ Is a bolt in cage worth the effort and extra weight? I was told that they are not as useful as a weld in cage, and ive seen pics of a wrecked car with a bolt in, and it bent like a toothpick. Could have been design fault, or bad install ect though.

Does anyone know if the VL V6 power steering rack will work, or do i need the VN-VS 5L rack? Ive currently got a VL 6cyl rack in there atm, but i dont want to buy a VN 5L rack if i dont need one.
