I think a lot of us qld blokes are in the same boat Andy not only satisfaction but, as the sayin goes if you want something done right you do it yourself.

Powercruise this year should be good.. Bring it out Troy you won't regret it... Best time to enjoy the effort you've put into it. Drags are good to get a time and compare times for power n shut but if u like driving man, you can't beat blowing the treads down the straight at Powercruise...

Yeah it should b a good day B good to drive it properly Hav to get my entry in before the 11th tho **** paying 240!

But our track day this yr ollie we have 8 hours of track time, power skids, off st drags and cruise sessions. I wont kick you out this time mate as we have better insurances. Yeewww 17th of june, you know the deal.
