Hi again folks

 

Going to take my beast up for another run at the May 31st "Settle the score" meet. I want to try and improve by a 10th or two over last years runs.  Think I know how to drive the old girl a it better now.

 

Last time was a good day so hopefully folks will hope on the train and join in again. Maybe Tiny can arrange a lane again for us??  He seems to have the contacts.

 

Here is the list if you want to add to it.  All welcome as usual:

 

Gerry - LX sedan injected 355

Mark - Crewman 383 stroker

Probably no point if there isn't enough interested. Bout 5 or 6 cars from Canberra so far.  And only a few forum members have expressed interest.

Just another reminder for the SD street meet on the 31st May. I have already registered and paid on-line to sure up a spot.  Good idea to do if you want to travel from interstate and guarantee a spot.

 

Hope to see some forum members there :-)

Not that I currently own a Torana but I should be there with my girlfriends car

 

It was meant to be an ANDRA test and tune day but for some reason they have added the Settle the Score event with it. Kind of weird as an ANDRA TNT is licence holders only, Settle the Score is street cars. I wonder if they will just run them all together or make you use separate lanes

 

How much was it to enter the Settle the Score event?

 

Just found it, $60. Settle the Score is cheaper I dare say :)

Saturday is the ANDRA test day I thought.  Sunday is the dedicated street meet.

not anymore. They are both on the same day. I thought they had a website issue so called to confirm and the website is right. TNT and STS meets all in one

Hopefully see some of you lads up there on Sunday.  I will be in the Green LX 4 door. Will ask for a dedicated forum lane but don't think we will get one with so few attending.

 

Should be fun and looking forward to improving my times :-)

I decided early this morning to head out, only problem was it started to piss dow about 15 minutes after leaving... Kept going anyway...

 

I saw a few toranas at the track- probably a few of you guys... But with it obviously being cancelled, I decided to go and watch the FOSC racing at the southern track right next door...

 

I was in the red LC torana with chrome centerlines... shame we couldn't all have a run...

I was absolutely spewing to have driven all the way from Canberra to be told it was cancelled. A big waste on my time, money and emotions :-).  Good to catch up with Matty and Graham from on here though....Don't know if I have the enthusiasm to do it again in 4 weeks time.  Really takes it out fo you!  I was so looking forward to it and the weather forecast last night said "all clear"!!!!

Yes, same feelings here... I only travelled 1 hour, but still very frustrating when the BOM forecasted westher as 'all clear'.

 

I think I saw your green LX parked on the grass near the entrance.... I did a youie and went into the amaroo track to watch the track cars... (with the shits hahaha)

+2. A real let down after busting a gut most every night after work all week & the best part of yesterday to get my car ready to run. Great to catch up with you Gez, not sure if I'll make the next one either, I've spent too much time & money on this car of late & might have a break from it for awhile.

I had a strange feeling it would happen when i saw all the cloudy days coming. If its going to rain it will rain on Sydney Dragway on trace day

I ende dup inspecting a car in Tuggerah and it was pretty wet on the M7 as i drove over the M4.

 

Its a shame as there was probably some tough cars there wanting to test for next weeks winter nationals at Willowbank
