Hi GUys, am I interpreting this right?

Did this years PowerCruise turned into Hoonsville? lol Or was it just a case of collatoral damage.

Ahh OK thanks Callum, all good then!

For a horrid moment I thought it had gone the way of Summernats :)

Will ring you one evening during the week.

Congrats to ima400, you really stuck it to the Capri in the final. Well done with the dyno result as well. Your car sounded nice all weekend. BTW, nice little show on the main straight during HP.

DOG355, your car sounds so tuff, well done mate !!

Yeh it was a good event. I think I've got some video footage of IMA400s display and the commentators having a go at him, I'll have a look tonight.

My mate put his skyline into a barrier in the drifts too.

they cut the 1/2 hour of power short only 4 laps , they recon we where getting carried a way ( i dont know where they got that idea from ) . car was strong all weekend would have liked to go on the same dyno i qualified on , i made a fuel change was hoping for a bit moore , thanx for everyones kind word all weekend . & to every one who came out & cheered , claped , whistled me back down the return road after the final of the drags THAT FELLING IS THE BEST . i hope oneday some of you guys can get to feel how i felt , that will stay with me for ever.

another thing fellas if you are thinking of putting drag radials on your car , stop thinking & do it . i ran a PB on friday with them first time ive tryed them . anyone who was a the track would have seen mark hayes do that huge wheelstand he was on them as well . :D

I can vouch for that IMA400, had a great view from the grandstand. I can't believe that they halted proceedings early, it was champagne stuff :spoton:
