A few Torana photos from Motorplex at Saturday nights Top Fuel drag meet.
I didnt take as many photos as I normally do as I took videos instead

Have you got any more pictures of the car in the 2nd and 3rd pictures, in the paddock or something that is one hot car.

Not from Saturday night but I might have from other days.

I'll have a look when I get home, if I dont then I will have next time I see it as I want to check out the roll cage a bit better.

So good to see some nice Drag Torries, I am hoping that Canberra gets it's act together and builds a decent 1/4 miler

We once had a 1/8th trak but I flatly refused to support that - I am not a fan of 1/8th tracks but will proudly support any 1/4.
Looking forward to more pics Tinkers. TY

Cheers
Herne

Hey Herne... I hope you guys get a full 1/4 mile strip too.. its the best thing in sydney! And to have another track so close would be of great benefit to everyone in the drag racing community!

Are you going to come to the GMH-Torana drag day at Heathcote in march? have a look further down in the events section.. I hope that yourself and Pat can make it down as the canberra connection!

The more the merrier

3753 you're asking about? It had 10.03 on the window so it woild have been something around that, sorry cant remember now.

Few weeks before it had 9.99 on the window :unsure:

I want to see how he has the roll cage in it so next time it's at the track I'll find out it's times.

Hi Tiny, cant make any promises about coming down just yet, it's all so far away right now but before I know it it will be on top of me lol. lets say I hope I can see my way free to make it

I will have a chat to pat too. It will be a good chance to meet up with you and a few other forum guys.

I have always stated IF Canberra gets a 1/4 mile track then I will build up a Dragster, it will probably be a Torry

I won't be superquick as I dont have the dollars for that (maybe a sponsor might help) but whatever I build will be competative,fun and hopefully look good as I do not have a non competative bone in my body lol

Cheers
Herne

Thats Cool Herne! I understand where your coming from! I'm actually MAKING time for this event

I Hope that you and pat can make it! See how it pans out.

It would be unreal to build a purpose built drag car... no limiations to keep things streetable! But the problem is that it really is addictive.. your always wanting to go that one step more to get another tenth, or beat THAT Guy... Where does it end! Thats why i havent done it as i'm in the same situation.. I just cant afford to be compedetive! Ive got too many other things i have to do.

Hopefully one day i can have enough money to be compedetive as it is something i enjoy!

Cheers and i hope that canberra does get a track.. it can only be good for the sport!
