:-) good one

That means I need to race you houso. Bring it on. :-)

You are cheating with two extra cylinders so that's a 25% advantage.

How much head start do I get?

I will prepare my car by painting it grey with a guide coat so you recognize me as a challenger - like the good old days in Campbelltown!!

dont forget july is one of the coldest months so we may get a delayed start till they feel the track has warmed up/dried out like last time.
and yes terralx it was mt druitt metallic when i was growing up i forgot about that.
wonder where all those cars that passed through those suburbs ended up? some of them would have been genuine articles as well probably but when you cant read how would you know.lol

True, perhaps we can start at 10am instead of 9am?

looks like i might have to organise this,if anyone would like to help good.if any admins want to give me/us(us if anyone wants to help) permission to use the gmh-torana name for this day this would be a good starting point.as soon as this is endorsed ill make some calls and find out who when why what how,prices,numbers, dates,and try to get a list of entrants and an account for payment and get hold of those photo blokes again.i dont know about you but i had a top day last year and it would be sad to let it slip from being an annual event.if we cant get the numbers i would like to try to get some same era ford club blokes over as well.no idiots of course to have some ford holden grudge stuff. racing against other toranas is fun but smashing fords would be a good thing too.i can also organise trophies for the day.
ill get back to you shortly upon my answer from an admin.

Gday Rob,

It may have been noticed that i've stepped back from the forum and organisational duties for the moment,
I'm more than happy for someone else to step up and organise this, It's actually fairly easy with teh hard part actually getting the $$ from the people who SAY they will come along.

I will pass on all my contacts and do as much as i can to help you out,
Bear in mind that you will PERSONALLY be hiring the track (and are therefore liable if anything goes wrong), on behalf of the forum.
I wanted to make that crystal clear so everyone understands the risk that is undertaken by the organiser.

Having said all that, Feel free to PM me with anything and i'll PM you with the contact i used previously.

I will ask the other admin for permission to use the GMH-Torana name, I personally dont mind, as long as it's not something that an individual will make a profit from (and not benefit the forum).
Previously Every Cent was to cover costs - not 1 cent was raised for the forum.

Cheers guys, and all the best with it.
I cant promise coming along, but i would love to... the last timei raced it was VERY hot, and before that it was the drag day!

Cheers.
