Craig and I will be there with the Yellow GT-P. Hoping for a better organised night than the last meet!

Again, (for those that missed The Pub Thread), we will be with Alan Moffat the next morning in Dandenong with the car. Lots of free stuff (so I've been told), V8 girls cooking the BBQ - yes, the mind boggles! Alan is arriving in the afternoon.

Car will be dirty : covered with rubber one would think!

Cheers
Gaela & Craig

So if you want to beat em, ya gotta join em, and being manual makes the time even more credible.

Funny you should say that, I was telling Glenn in another thread, that I did the exact same thing when I had my 4.11's installed, 1000kms in three nights then went racing at Heathcote. Don't worry he will be racing.

I will be there on Friday night with my new Turbo.

It was stupid!! 4 lanes wide of cars in the staging lanes!! + Calder did there usual stuff around.


On another note I may be back to spectator as the ute has a couple of gremlins I need to eliminate before I feel comfortable pushing it. Will see how we go as I do use this ute as my daily driven work vehicle and can't afford to have it stop on me.....again. :

Yeah its not a bad time. First time its been raced so pretty good. It will go quicker. It put out 20hp more on the dyno with Zorans carby on motor. But was raced with my carby on it. It made more hp this time plus its on pump fuel as well. Not sure of the weight of the car.
