No, that would have been one of my mate's cars. He had a white VL 330 stroker. He didn't tun at Casterton this year because he just sold his car. This year is the first time I have run my car. I get my new cam tomorrow, hopefully I will have it installed before I head to Warrnambool.

Hey hqv8monaro. Just found the Ballarat drags website. They posted pics and stuff of cars that were there. Your mate's car may be up there. Even found a pic of my steamer trying to launch. http://www.ballaratdrags.com/gallery...0031207_01.htm (http://www.ballaratdrags.com/gallery/20031207/gallery_20031207_01.htm) Ballarat drags even got a mention on the Dragster web site. Also got the VL mentioned in the Quick 16 section for getting into the semi. http://www.dragster.com.au/modules/n...php?storyid=77 (http://www.dragster.com.au/modules/news/article.php?storyid=77)

Yea, he's not a bad guy. Spoken to him a couple of times when he comes over to Portland for a cruise. VLRB20DET - You got your motor back yet? Only a week and a half to go... Should be a fairly busy couple of nights for cars cruizn and stuff over in Warrnambool on the 7th and 8th. Trying to arrange some accommodation and stay on the Friday and Saturday nights with a few other guy's from Portland, need somewhere to safely keep the car though. What are the cops like over there? Got some fairly ordinary street tyres on at the moment, and some 4.11's with a mini spool, am I likely to get pulled over?
