    So, we know the most powerful cars from Toyotafest Dyno Day. We know the prettiest Toyota's from the Toyotafest Show, all that is left is to find out who is the fastest down the quarter mile!

    We have booked a lane for the Wednesday night drags at Sydney Dragway Eastern Creek to find out how quick you are. No Trophies, No Classes, just you and your car against the Clock for that prize we all love.... Bragging rights!

    Cars will need to pass scrutineering to enter, then make your way to where all the other Toyota's are. You'll need a Helmet, long sleeve shirt, long pants and closed shoes.

    Entrants are $60
    Spectators are $20
    Children $10

    All the information for entrants can be found in the link Below please read and understand to avoid disappointment :

    I'll be there for my first ever attempt at doing a 1/4 mile drag race. Should be fun!

    Cressida has a slipping clutch from bulk skids, might have the MA61 ready

    I think 11s is probably optimistic, thinking mid to low 12s and I would be happy

    I'll give it a red hot go, but just think given the weight of the GT4 an 11 is optimistic.

    Might try to setup the anti-lag for it if i go.

    Broke into the 13's last week with a 13.7.
    Aiming for 13.5's now

    The Hills Crew WRX group will be running that night as well, so I'll be running in the Toymods lane and Cait will be in the Hill Crew lane

    Was a great night with high and low points for us
    Managed a 13.1 with the GC8 first run setting myself a new PB

    Cait managed to get her PB down to 14.8 on the first run as well. With a bit more experience and a shift light, it won't be too long before she's into the 13's as well.

    3rd run was were all the fun stopped, the lights went green, I dropped the clutch and the front end made a noise in protest leaving me to coast down the strip for a record setting 24 second pass. Broken front left drive shaft was diagnosed pretty quickly and $120 got her towed home


    Cheers to the Hills Crew WRX and Toymods blokes for all coming down make sure we were all okay and could get a tow home.

    Again, big thanks to the Toymod's crew for organising the private booking of a lane, just a shame that not many people turned up to take the opportunity to use the lane. I believe it was just Rob, Vito, Chris and myself that were there, and for the first two runs, it was just Rob and I Simmo tried to join us, but his Camry failed scrutineering haha

    Bad luck Aaron!

    I was able to do 6 passes so I had heaps of fun.
    However, my troublesome turbo-to-intercooler pipe kept blowing off (it happened in 4 out of 6 passes), and this ruined my second pass in particular which otherwise would've been a low 11 and my best of the night.
    I still managed to achieve an 11 second pass on my 6th and final attempt. It wasn't even a good pass (crappy 2.333 60ft with a stupid amount of wheelspin), but at least I achieved my goal of making it into the 11s. I was lucky I got the chance to do that, because I think I was the final car of the night that they let through.
    I'm confident that I'll be able to achieve a 10 second pass in the future!
