Matt, I'm keen to cruise over with ya :D But I'm in the same boat, I'll need a set of 2.78's for the trip, and I'll slot the 3.36's back in when I get there :spoton:

Bring it on guys!

Gary, YOU WILL BE RACING! No questions or excuses! Your car is on GAS so it should be cheap as to get up there! I wonder if you can crack a 12 second pass?

Who knows if my next motor will be in by then... But i WILL be there no matter what! I rebuilt my car in 8 weeks to make the last one!

Some big names cars though, would really spur others to come along!

STEVO, i wanna see you run a 9 second pass!

IFA355, I wanna see your sexy beast up there! 5 months should be enough time to rebuild that donk of yours! Get MYSHTR to come up as well!

This time around, lets try and get a proper video made up. Something with a bit of everyones car on it! Anyone who is not going to race, willing to spend the day filming? I'd be happy to edit it up then burn to DVD for people! We want something with footage of everyones car on it! One of those DVDs we can put on and drink beer and eat pizza!! LOL.

Either way, lets make this massive! Once the date is set, I will design up a flyer that you can send (email) to your Torana mates to entice them to come up!!!

Yes Keith! You definitely should!!!!

Just make sure you have run a few more bottles of that stuff through the motor and you will be sweet! Should be able to book out a motel like we did at Toranafest as well!

I wasn't having a dig at Bendigo Bek.
It was more a dig at the lack of Matty's "worldlyness"

He's really got to get out of Belgrave more.

Trailer down the LJ, as long as the trailer is appropriate for both vehicles and you have some experience towing there is no big issue. The fuel consumption difference doesn't seem to be hugely significant in highway driving, and you've got heaps of willing hands to help you unload and load back up once you get down here :)
