I wouldn't think you'd be covered either.

LOL, my mistake!

He can do cornering as well if he wants, but he needs to avoid crossing the centre line and it might slow him down.

I always inform my insurance company that my car will be at the drag races frequently prior to taking out a policy.

Agree with you Stu regarding Raj's 1/4 mile run.

C'mon Raj get it out there, although my threat is pretty thin because you've already detailed my car and probably Edwin's too? Raj, as you can see Edwin and I might be able to get a ball rolling that you may not like, so get that CS dusted off and on the strip!

Might be out, new battery doesn't fit the car properly. Will try charging the existing one but it was knackered last time at WSID and at the track day. Car hasn't moved an inch since ECR so unsure how it will go.

I doubt i'd be able to jump it off my jumper pack at the track. We'll see.

Doubtful, you only have one track/race car.

I've learnt that lesson when I had 3 broken at once, although truth be told Kenny broke the M3.

Will Mr Shelswell be attending tonight?

I don't know if I'll run tonight either cause my car has 3/4 tank of 98 in it. Haven't driven it for a few days. I may drain the fuel and put some real shit in there.

The weather looks good. I'm gonna go regardless as everytime I try and go it usually rains so I'm not going to take my chances to miss out.

I'm gonna head down to the Motorplex tonight to go drag racing for the first time.
We'll see how a stock N55 DCT on run flat tyres will go.

Great, what time are you planning on getting there? If possible I was hoping to meet up and sort of stick together (until you get bored and want to race the big boys :-) as I understand you have to stay near your car etc etc and no queue jumping.

My plan is 4:30ish if I can get organised.

Cheers

Byron

Hey Byron, I'll be leaving around 4pm for an ETA at EC around 4:45-5pm. We'll stick together once were there. Is your car stock?
Just noticed some clouds around and weather predicts 30% chance of rain. Fingers crossed.

don't stay out too late its an early start tomorrow.

Any prediction on a time for today? no pressure or anything but anything short of an Oz record would seem like a let down
