Hey Guys, Nice to see some unreal VL`s out there this year SIKPSI, UWANIT and the purple VL with the 19`s reapresented the VL brigade very well ... also did anyone go on the commodore cruise on saturday nite??? well, tell me what you think and feel free to share your stories..... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

How about WLDPSI and DMNFST? i'm pissed that my car wasn't ready in time, and also BOOSTR was supposed to be there but couldn't get his new plenum put on in time

I heard there was some sort of big crash on Fri ??? anyone have more info ?

Was QIKENF threre as well, White over silver calais, 19" GTS rims and low as ***.

Yeah there was a pretty big crash on Friday, saw the pics that Jet-6 took of the aftermath, I think it was a VS that got pretty wrecked. A VL also ended up in the guardrail.

wouldnt mind seeing the pics of the aftermath... anyone ?

Almost all the VLT's got pumped at the drags. ops: Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I went on Saturday just as a spectacter. Saw a few VLT's there, a few guys off this site as well, QIKENF, VL MUZZA, SIKPSI. QIKENF did a airflow meter or so I got told by a mate of his watching over his car when he went home for a replacement. Anyone else see the blue Calais with the RB 26 fitted with a huge single turbo, can't remeber what plates it had, but was a impressive car to stare at engine bay wise. I saw 2 cars damaged unfortunately, a white VL Calais V8 hit in the lhs front and lhs rear quarter panel, looked painful :cry: . And a reddy coloured VR-S HSV commodore of some description hit rhs front did'nt see the extent of damage on that one, so it would have been a expensive weekend for those poor fellas. :cry: Anyone know what car won the burnout comp, that "Mental" Camaro black with purple flames, did a massive burnout on Saturday and I say he probably would have one the crowd loved it too he actually burnt up a set of 15 by 15 Mickey Thompsons. The rubber was every where all over the car after the burnout would be a bitch to clean, but I suppose the prizemoney will pay for new tyres and detailing of the car. Too bad the VLT's did'nt do to well in the street drags but it's a slippery surface at Sandown if a car has any decent amount of power on street tyres forget about it. I'm guessing that Yellow 808 coupe Mazda rotary won as he did the other year or dedicated race cars such as Craig Brewer's green HR panel van. Did George Haddad run his orange HQ coupe at all I noticed the car now has a chev 350 motor in it replaceing the old 10 second 308 Holden engine. All in all I had a good day especially since I got in for free. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I got some pics from friday, if some one wants to host em, they can put em up. I also got all the news on fridays crashes, inc pics

well i had a really good time! Shame the car wasnt running very good but we had to rush to get it there. It was good to put some faces to names on here! Ur all a nice bunch off ppl Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

That rotary nearly one it was ***ing impressive - the winner was the 454 Lh torana (white) - which raced off with a 351 windsor TD cortinia (green) - both purpose built drag cars. Anyone have any idea of the itmes of either of those 2 (eg see em race before?) cos no time keeping gear at sandown....

JET-6 send the pics through to [email removed] and they'll be up ASAP.

also there were a lot of crashes. I heard that this morning WYDPSI or how ever you spell his plates stacked badly in the cruising event. Does anyone know if this is true?!?!

yep, another victim of this years easternats was that immaculate VL Calais with the RB26/30 in it. Apparently crashed hard today. I'm not sure if it was driver error or caused by another car on the track. This years easternats had waaaay to many crashes. They need to make some big changes for next years event thats for sure.

There was a Vl calais with left headlight and bar and left taillight and quarter panel damage with "dont ****ing ask" written in black texta on it Not suprised there was a few stacks cos i was there for like 3 hours and saw a fair bit of stupid stuff. I knows its a car event and theres plenty of hotheads and hot cars, but some of us take 2 year olds to these things, other dudes in wheel chairs and old folks so ****wits who do 'burn outs' in dense crowds are just dumb Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Pics sent!

The whith LX hatchback(MV-454)has ran 8.52@162.12mph before so no suprises there. Also the track may have been poor but it was the same for everyone so nobody can blame the track. Heads up racing is the way to go. At the end of the drags(last 10 cars) it got really interesting. The new motor in Haddads HQ is a 350 Chev, alloy heads etc and has already made over 900hp on Mobil pump fuel(previous motor made 804hp)That yellow 808 got beaten near the end of the drags , but he also couldn't stop at the end and ran off the track.

I was there on Sunday for the finals, and what a show it was! Shame about the VL efforts, but live and learn. That Asteroid Silver VL Exec/Belina turbo conversion UWANIT (i think?) was definatly the best VL out there, winning 4 out of its 5 drags that i saw, not bad for a sleeper! I saw that crashed white VL in the pits, LH Front side damage and LH rear panel damage with the "Dont f**king ask..." and a bandaid put on it :P From my understanding this happened on Saturday? Also i heard from a guy that there was a HUGE smash on Sat where 2 cars were involved, where 1 was doing a burnout and the other was doing a speed run, and stupidly drove into the back of the burnout car. Big writeoff there, even the occupants were taken to hospital All in all a good day, props to the Silver VL for some good runs and making it into the last 20 cars, but it wouldnt have made it past that white 454 SS Torana Also, to the owners of the white VL Calais and the HDT VL Calais Sport in the Show and Shine area, very nice clean cars there guys, make sure you keep them that way! Did anyone get some good pics? I really need to get a digi cam Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yes WLDPSI crashed in the cruise and stuffed the front end. Craig Brewers Green HR panel van got disqualified from the drags as his back tires were too wide(??). DMNFST broke an axle on the cruise as well. UWANIT is an extremely fast car, someone said that it has run tens before. Was disappointed with SIKPSI, I thought it was a quick car but was mistaken(unless the car had problems on the day)

Creaig Brewer's HR Panelvan has ran an 8.06(NOS)before so i'm sure he would've done very well. Maybe the organisers :x should've sorted the tyre size problem before he got to race!
