If your planning to head across and race Mish, I might come out and watch. Its going to be a crazy night!!
I expect you to get kicked off the track after your first couple of runs! HAHA! Hopefully it means that Heathcote will be quieter in the future!

Mish if you're racing I'll try and get down there for a geeze.
A mate from TAFE said he might be racing his Skyline that night as well - hoping for mid-low 10s on street tyres lol!

lol it's not a bloody VS commodore mate. Apparantly he did a 10.8 @ Heathcote some time ago but he's changed heaps of shit on the car. Just changed to a single high mount '800hp' turbo and 1200cc injectors lol the thing seems rather serious, but yeah I'll believe it all when I see it run.HAHA! Has he ever raced before? LOL. Sounds like he'll be walking away disappointed!

HAHA! Same here! Unless his "Street Tyres" are MT E/T Streets... He'll be pushing shit up a hill to get traction! (Unless its AWD?)

Hah, yeh have to agree with ya Matt.... I dont even think ill crack a 10 1st time out on slicks, I'm going to have 28x10.5's on and im still a bit concerned about traction off the line...
Mid-low 10's seems a bit excessive on street tyres.
Still planning on getting there at like 4:30ish Tony.... maybe 4.
What time you think of headding down?
If you can get down there early Matt, Ill get you on my pit crew so you can sit on the wall and take some close up photos if ya want. I want someone to be taking some decent photos...
As for getting kicked off the track on the 1st or 2nd run i think there is probably a 99% chance of that happening.
Even thinking of just doing the 8th mile for 1-2 runs to compare times with 10sec cars then go for it towards the end of the night.

Booyah we'll be there for some runs in my uc.
its getting dynoed tomorrow so will be top notch for calder, just might fill up with some 100% propane and we'll be sweet.
Mish will be sweet to see yours up there! Are you going to be able to get yours cleared, I heard you had a bad episode this week?

Yeah there are a few ANDRA regulations that need to be complied with if you run under 10.99
Matt, yes GTRs are AWD from the factory, but I think he was looking for some semi slicks for the rear end? I heard that the front wheels only get powered up when the rear wheels slip?
Danny, look forward to seeing you there
Anyone wanna cruise together from the eastern suburbs? As long as we leave reasonably early, I'm flexible. 0421 770 110 if you wanna contact me any time today
