I was too buggered last night to post anything of interest but I have the time today (hopefully). I have all the times but they only list the Willowbank Entrant numbers which I need to match up to each car. I will be SMS'ing entrants today as well as working out numbers from photos. Next time I will write them down as I hand out the entrant forms....duh.

Peter - Ive got some video and photos of you and Steve battling it out. I can send the photo's and will upload video once I've got myself organised.

I can go through and list whose car is whose but I might to this on a separate thread along with times etc.

I will let you in on a little secret though. The Corolla lined up against the HQ is me and I won that race !! The Quee red lighted..... but I still ran a 16.6@81 mph

Excellent day! The weather remained kind and there were plenty of quality and fast cars on display.

Although I was only a spectator, it was still a great day.

Thanks to Big T (16.68 in a Corolla!) and everyone else who was involved making the day such a great success. :clap:

Does anyone have any pictures of Scotts Commodore OPR079 as well, We ran our cars side by side all day, It is a blue VB commodore. Thanks to the people who have already emailed me pics, They have been great.

Have to say again a huge thanks to Big T :clap:

for organising the day. I thought it went great and would be happy to help out any way I can to make this a regular thing. I haven't had that much fun in ages and as a bonus scored my fastest time and MPH ever even though the car was playing up.

Good vid Dennis !! Nice work. I still havnt had time to watch the footage Mellisa got of the day, oh, well, except my run of course !! Also listened to the commentary from me and Steve up in the tower, geeze I waffle on

I wish I had time to take more photos and meet a few more people, ah well, I did at least get to meet some pretty cool dudes on the day.

Okay, back to sorting out which cars ran what times. Stay tuned, a more detailed review of the day is coming.......

Had a great day (even tho i had no car) thanks MR-T well organised all round mate.

Here is a vid from "inside" the winner of the "Fastest NON Torana" trophy (the purple VK pictured in this thread already)

It was recorded on the 28th but later on in the test & tune part of the afternoon, gives a little idea of what its like to race a 10 sec street car....

Well fist of all I would lime to say B big thanks to BigT orgnising the day it was fun and hopefully next year I will still be allowed to come out and play with you guys it was fun

Secondly I am currently putting tomato sauce on my words and eating them after giving torana308 a bit of a gee up over the last week but can tell you I dont know who was more elated me or him about the fact that he ran a 12 finally after all those hours playing and fixing things its finally payed off Pete well done mate

thirdly I want to congradluate all the trophy winners (Even tho i was ripped with my .400 light aswell) as I spoke with tony after the arvo had finshed i have just started my own workshop and next year I will be throwing some cash in and helping out with the prizes next event As think this is a great event to support and you guys and girls made the day a good one for me

Lasty as I stated the day off very very ordanary with the car playing up but on my second last run I hurt the car badly as i crossed the finsh line I lost all oil preassure but hey thats racing so watch this space for a new bigger and better engine maybe even a twin turbo 355 might be on the cards

Thanks again to BigT the Queensland Torana Club and GMH-Torana.com.au for the day bring on the next event

Thanks Pro79 (scott)
