Not sure, will have to check the wife's roster to see if she's off that weekend. I'm interested. Hopefully I'll have the new aluminium heads on by then.

Yeah, Will be good to see it at track and even better when these heads are bolted on. How far away are they??? Oh and Eagle, you keen on having a few beers on the 19th in burnie, will go for a short cruise and then stop somewhere in burnie or wynyard, whatever suits people on the day. Will do up a DVD for you aswell of the past runs, ect...
Tim - I'll be there and you should recognise my car so come over and say g'day.

I received the heads this week & I'll start the change over in the weekend.
I'll be at the Burnie/Wynyard run but as for beer, I'll have to wait until I get home as the auto pilot stopped working years ago
Looking forward to the DVD. I brought a decent camcord the other week so I can also do some recording when we head out too.

Too Nice, I've got an auto pilot thats still in good conditon, but she only drives autos, so that throws that out the window. Maybe run the torana home and grab the family car.
Let me know how you go with the heads, would be nice to see it at the track for a lash with the new ones bolted up.

Bummer, what's happend Les?
I think I'll have to give the day a miss as I've still got somethings to sort out.
I'll definately have the SLR out for the Burnie run next week, will you be able to make it?

Well after many set backs and what not, I did finally manage to head off to the Drags.
Broke the damn bottom alternator bolt on the way and had to make emergency repairs at the track just to get her running.
Glad I did as I ended up running my PB down the quarter.
I believe I was also the fastet of the "Street" Toranas there as well.
I mean really, who can competer with a purpose built LJ with a 350 Chev and slicks the size of... of... They were just farkin huge OK. and he ran a 10.789 against me.

Was you there??
Spose its no good saying ya shoulda come and said Gday as you probably have no idea who I am!!
ended up with a 13.502 @ 166.09
Not a bad effort considering the crappy old Yoky 352's and 2.72: diff ratio.
Did you run at all.
I wasnt meaning to offend anybody with my comments about the quickest street Torrie there, just didnt remember anybody that was quicker.
