Neil is right...I painted the engine bay black..put the dots between the HDT words and everything else I can see as I scam AMC to get this thing as close as I can to the real car. I have a snorkel oil filler timing cover but thats a pretty big job to do and it is running like a jet at the moment so I am very hesitant to touch anything...if it aint broke...leave it alone I have learnt over the last 25 years! :spoton:

I am sure Harry will forgive me!..I am taking the timing cover to show him I have one to go on..

Noath,
It will be in all the mags..especially Rally Sport and Unque Cars..I am like a bloody kid b4 xmas!..They also have the TAFE kids there like Bathurst to help you fix any damage or if you break an axle or anything. I will have to extend the accom for Sunday night now I think of it..No good trying to drive home at 5.00pm and get here at 11pm. I reckon I will be up for a drink and laugh on Sunday night.

I sent an entry off today for the Group C hatch. It looks like a fun event!

Does anyone know the format? How many runs do we get? What a good time for the track? Can you hit anything hard!!!? Are there any good pubs in town?

I like the idea of all the Bathurst cars and a celebration of Bathurst.

Between this, the Muscle Car Masters, the run we are having at Bathurst with the Supercars and the A9X Nationals in Tassie I'm in for a busy 2 months. Life's tough:D

Yellow,
www.speedontweed.com
Work your way through..the times for last year are in there..Frank did a 46.7 in the Army XD Group C last year..I drove the track last weekend..Yes there is something to hit and a busstop like Lakeside that launches the car..expect to be off the ground by at least a foot then hard on brakes to a hard right hand up hill corner...it is interesting to say the least! 12,000 people come for the weekend..The town usually holds 2,000 so picture it..Fri/Sat night is dinner in the street with 2000 people , last year making a Guiness Book record for the largest outdoor dinner party.About 6 runs for the weekend so you need to be on the money from scratch..hang the expense! TAFE boys are on site to fix and axles/repairs like Bathurst. Chris Bowden is having a baby so not coming but tells me our portable carport is ok to use..if we are not allocated proper pit places, find me and set up next door.. all the torries together..I will talk to you more after we are in... Too much more to tell you..SEE :spoton:

YOU THERE!!

I am seriously pissed....I was told Bondy wasnt coming but everyone else is going to be then so I sent him a strong email to get off his arse and be there...I am hoping for a positive reply.( I do understand, having done it for 15 years, after attending a race meeting every weekend you like to have one off and relax but this one is IMPORTANT!!)..I will keep you posted ..I have other levers to put pressure on him as well...The deal is.... he drives my car..(get this...Bond..in the car he developed and test drove!!THE REAL DEAL IN THE CAR!!).now you need to understand...virtually NO ONE drives my car..(A1 is an exception)...I want this to happen...if the response is a negative..I expect emails to bombard him to attend...and I will provide details..
