Looks good!

 

Would be nice to have a media section to see vids of some racing without having to go to facebook.

Shame I'm in Whangarei. Used to run at the Port Rd drags in the 90's, still have the time cards and some photos.

Thanks Gunmetal for the feedback.

I might be able embed some more vids and pics it takes time so maybe a dozen of the better pics each meeting.

 

Dave - if you want to share them then i could add them to the history section

Thanks Kudu

 

Cheers Torypower

We run on the front straight of the Ruapuna Circuit Racetrack, not allowed to trackbite the circuit but it is a fairly flat surface at least and the first 150 ft is covered.

Its all sealed with a concrete burnout pad.

Well I have these to show the start and the track, it shows you where the black track bite(vht) stops as it is not allowed to go any further onto the circuit.

 

The video shows a tough HQ and couple of others including the SBC powered Anglia Van at the January Meeting.

Portatree Ultimate I believe.

Portatree Timing Systems, Inc.

 

We have one of the best track preppers in the business, Trevor Tolhurst, and that car is a NZ championship car of Dave Rosewarne. The one smoking into the distance is also another NZ record holder. Both local cars :)

 

Dave did my heads on the 304 as he has had plenty of top 308/304 builds over the years. He also made a package with the cam although I really need to run a carby with it I think as it is difficult to control with all the computer settings causing it to be a bitch in slow traffic.

HQ has the lead

HQ Street Car ran 9.6@148 and the 10.2@ I think 140 

Was some amazing times, Later in the day the HQ launched so hard the back of the car hit the ground and he broke an axle.
