Dont want to let it get too cold keith! but then again.. free HP!


Ok... so ... let's say we do another wednesday night regardless... sometime soonish...

But talking about a private hire day...

What day and month would suit people best?
A Sunday? Saturday?? Midweek??

When would people be most likely to commit!? And remeber... 11.0 or faster cars arent permitted! (Damn.. no nitrous for me! LOL!)

Cheers



I reckon mid February 2009 on a Friday night would be the go.
Keith's right, Powercruise in March and then April gets busy etc..

Tiny, what do you mean.. no nitrous for YOU? Does that mean I might have a chance of staying with you this time? I'm keen to turn the 118mph into a descent time, 12.3 was crap.
Ive purchased some bigger slicks, keen to try again. You up for it big guy?

Cheers
DD

Deedsy: Bring it on mate!! Always a pleasure running along side you my friend!

With this new stall ( and i dont wanna talk myself up!), but i'm REALLY hoping for a solid 11 sec pass... Consistant mid 11s is what i'm after!

Once i get the 4 point harness ( LOL!) THEN i might have a bit of fun with the giggle gas, but not before! N/A all the way :)

Definitely keen to race sooner rather than later, just work and everything is mighty busy at the moment! Will let you guys know if i manage to scam a wednesday arvo off and get out there though!

Cheers!

That's what I reckon. The car has been consistently doing 118-119mph but the wheel spin ( in all 4 gears ) is killing the et.
The taller slicks should do the trick but need to sort out the offset ( to ensure it misses the flares. I dont want to hurt the flares as they are genuine L34 ).

She'll be right :spoton:

So how about a final date? I'm eager to head out on a Wednesday night soon so we need to set a date!
I have my final exam next wednesday, my formal the following week, and going away the week after!
If we figure out a date, we can organise some people and Tiny can put in final numbers for our own lane (Thanks Tiny :spoton: ) .
I was thinking maybe the 19th of november, 26th of november or 3rd of december. Im just tossing up dates but i think we should finalise one soon.
Cheers, Mitch

We had a bit of a chat about it yesterday on the cruise, and most of the people there sort of liked the idea of a january race date for a wednesday night.


Having said that, you guys can head out any wednesday that you like! I just know i'm not going to be able to make it this year due to work!


Cheers
