    Ah bad luck Strad. I wanted to come but certain limitations hindered my departure.

    1G-GTE. An engine barely alive. We can rebuild it. We have the technology. We can make it better than it was. Better....Stronger....Faster.

    Thankfully it's no 7m. :-)

    It was a good night out, the Toyotas proved their worth.
    Strad, the launch on the 11.6 run was great! Pity about the steam at the end though
    Time for HKS stroker kit ?!!?

    Cheers

    Was a good night... i think i want a hotted up short wheelbase Nissan Patrol now... after seeing that one doing wheelstands.

    I'm kicking myself that i didn't get my car sorted in time but i guess drag racing is not really a mini's forté anyhow.

    I brought it the time before last... but it was so busy that time and we got there late so i only got a single run for the night. It ran a 17.9.

    It was awesome to have such a great turnout guys! Once again the classic celicas were out in force! Some really good times were pulled by all - (I could only manage to get my time down to 15.8) but there's still room for improvement. Marcus did very well with his 15.3's.

    Lets do this again in a month or two. Thanks for the memories guys! Post up some pics here too! I have a few to go up.
