Hey Guys...

The whole Gist of the day is By the forum ( US ) FOR the forum (US!).

It will be a morning race meeting, on the Saturday with drag racing, and the use of the Burnout pad. We are trying to get as many GMH-Torana forum members to the day as possible, and then we'll invite others to race with/against...

I want to aim for around 40 GMH torana members racing, and another 20-30 other racers, so that we have about 60-70 cars on the day to race. That should leave it nice and relaxed but plenty of cars to race against!
We have the Sunday as a backup rain day.

Makka: If you could give us a list of hotels and caravan parks around that would be REALLY handy. I personally would like to stay in a reasonable hotel, just because of the distance we have to travel. I know that LXCHEV is the same, and a few others. It would be great to have a caravan park NEAR a hotel so that we can all stay close by and enjoy a night of the turps and a chinwag after the racing!

The day is open to veteran racers as well as complete newbies with everyone welcome no matter what car they want to bring! Ive got chopper down to bring his econovan and 830HP bringing his 8 sec drag car!!! should be an unreal day!

Any other questions... Shoot!

As for mates, at this moment in time, Weve not opened the gates to friends yet ( weve had HEAPS of members want to bring mates along), but as i said i we will DEFINITELY put out a call for mates of Torana people to come along in early January.

Gday Chia,

Its understood that alot of people cant say for certain of theyre coming yet... and thats cool.

I'll put you down ( theres no set places per se) and note that its a maybe. And if you can let us know more firm closer to the date it would be great.

Hopefully we can get as many as possible its all about our forums! But we will be inviting others too. Hopefully we can see you there too ChiaLX!

Cheers!

JG: I think that 253TranaSS has a good idea there! hehehe

It would be great to have more members, but if he doesnt want to join the forum ( or cant) he'll still be welcome when we work out how many other people we would like to invite.

I'm sure there will be HEAPS of room for our friends to race with us, i just want to give us as much of a chance as we can!

Keep an eye out here for a call for names/numbers in early january.. that way we can get ourselves best organised!

Thanks!

thats alrite then coz ive also been told that they can be a bit of a pain to install onto a torana, dont know weither thats fact or fiction tho. and also i have a larger tail shaft which could make it interesting.

Rene, if you have any problems with your tail shaft loop PM me and I can help you out, I've done it plenty of times to heaps of cars... I'm sure a half a dozen cans of Beam would be enough encouragement for me to do it for you, just as long as you don't mind hiking over Epping way

Can you tentatively put me on the list too please. Not making a promise at this stage but if yella is going (his name is on the list) I am sure I can try and make the effort too.
Hopefully petrol prices won't be too high and with any luck my car may even be better on fuel by then.
Cheers
Herne
