No worries on not catching up, Luckily i did get to meet Keith and Shane ( i think it was!? ) GtrBoyy, so that was pretty cool!
Yes.. i'm entered in the sydney car festival, though the car is starting to show the wear and tear of 12 months drag racing and general cruising so i'm just there for the fun OH.. and the driving events
I'll defintiely be wandering around so i'll be sure to catch up with you at the stand, I'll also say Gday to dad.. Errrr i mean Jason too!
Cheers mate! Looking forward to the weekend.

Air temp first pass was 32 degrees and i ran a 12.95 @ 105 Mph ( 5Mph and .5 sec off my best!!)
Second pass wasnt much better... but the best of the night.. 12.78 @106 Mph.. air temp 29 degrees. The car felt really strong pulling right through and i cut a .150 light which i was happy with! Felt strong.. no result :(
Third and final pass was a 12.84 @107.4 Mph ( Hrm.. just relised the MPh was better).. i revved second gear right out to 6000 and i could feel teh car nose over slightly.
Those 3.7s are going in ASAP now... Then see where we sit!
Cheers mate

I still cant understand why people do burnouts to their car's destruction.
I'm willing to give it a go at heathcote in march IF i can find rims and IF its not a stinkinghot day.. and if the car's perfect...
BUT i wont be killing it!@ if it gets even remotely hot.. i'll be driving away!!
BUT.. each to their own and its not really my thing! THanks again for coming up to say Gday! Sorry we couldnt talk a bit more!

Just as a matter of interest, every car I have ever fitted a 850 to has driven like it was stolen. Get 'em to the track and its a different story..... usually a few tenths off the pace and doughy in the 60'.
I wish I could have made it, I would have brought some spare carbs for you to try.
I should get the head off the tow car this weekend and be back on the road during the week. I hope to make it up in two weeks time. Keep in touch !
P.S. There seems to be a club of gooses in VR/S V8 c/dores participating in the burnouts every week. It ALWAYS ends in engine bay fires !!! Last time I was there (week before Xmas) this guy jumps out of his burning C/sport and does a dance for the crowd, not in the least bit concerned about his burning ride. The poor firies had to chase him to get the bonnet open. Hey, I love smoking tyres but I feel I know when to say enough is enough. I can't see the point in senseless destruction of ones own property (or anyone elses for that matter).
Enough raving.........

I'd love to take you up on the offer of trying out a few carbs!
I met a couple of guys with some HQ's, and it turns out one of them owns a mechanical workshop just "down the road" from my place ( barely 10 minute drive). Apparently he's played with carbies a little bit, and offered to take a look at my 750 as well to see if he could find the issue! He doesnt have any direct ties with any dyno operators, but he has had a car of his done somewehre up here that he was very happy with as well.
You have a PM from me
Thanks again and yeah i'm not a big burnout fan!
Cheers
