holy crap I didn't evening realise this was happening :/
haha. Pikers. The lot of you. I rock up thinking i'll have someone there to tell me WTF is going on, but i was the first one there, at like 5.15 or something! I come to my first ever drag night, and there is just 3 of us in the end!
In any case, as much as the thought of not coming tonight did cross my mind, given i was coming completely alone, i thought i'd hold my word and come. And i had a ball Got in 4 runs by 8pm, the last of which i punished the shit out of my gearbox and axle tramped it badly off the line, but came in for a 14.02, which i am happy with
In the interest of still being able to drive to work tomorrow, i called it a night at that point. Does anyone know where i can find photos?

Bardin, we got some video footage of some of your runs. If I can figure out how to do it I'll put them on Youtube at some point.
Cheers, Greg.
That'd be awesome. The easiest way is to get windows movie maker (google it) - just open the video and press the youtube button, it does it all for you.
Did you notice much in the way of smoke?
Thanks for the link Paul, will check it. I think my burnouts were too pissy for good photos anyway

Excuses excuses
It occurred I should have done one final run, and tried using 4th. I was at the point where i was needing 4th just before the line (it was noticably flattening out), but thought that while my gear shifts are lightning quick () i was better to hold 3rd.... Perhaps this idea was wrong. Whatever, i am a drag racing noob
I'll save 4th gear for round 2

good to see a few faces down there
after finally getting car running about 5 rushed down to creek to join huge queue in row 6 managed to get 3 runs in which 2nd gear refused to engage smoothly decided to call it a night before i damaged anything
on way home thermo fan decided to stop while fixing that noticed small leak in slave cylinder which could explain crunching in 2nd
still a fun night shame after last few times we had lots of cars but were cancelled we finally got a good night but hardly any cars
cheers john
