14th Is best for me rather than 15th...saturdays are my preference as working on a Sunday is much more worth my while dollarwsie than a saturday.
(Then i have more money to spend on the torrie!!)

It wouldn't be that hard to rebuild the bottom end some time between now and then would it Ed? I'm sure you'd be capable of doing it quite cheaply and quickly with your experience and position?

this might be plausable for me to come along.
might give me a decent deadline for the lc to be finished.
might be the death of the banjo though...
fuelwise, getting there. anyone keen on changing my 2.78s back to 3.55s when i get there?

I'll see what happens closer to the time Ed. Would love to race, but I have a full engine rebuild ahead of me first (taking 2nd place at the moment while we renovate), and we are going to Western Australia in early April, so money is mega tight already (non-existent actually). We also have our clubs drag day around that same time of year too... who wants to sponsor me???!!!!

GARY! Long time no see mate. I can't afford envelopes, unless you provide them as part of your sponsorship package. I'm willing to do email updates for free, haha.

But $1 a day is pretty piss-weak though, this is the era of million dollar sponsorship packages. Stephanie Rice wouldn't accept $1 per day - so up your game mate!!!! There are only around 5 months until March comes around, so that would work out at around $150. That wouldn't even come close to covering my fuel bill for the day!

Are you racing Guns n roses?
