Black ute will be being prepped in a big way, soon as Josh's car is out, we are looking at a built motor, bigger tyres, cage and a chute.

Been quiet for a while, but time for some more FUN!!!

Time to ring the BELL.

Hells Bells! Get out there and kill 'em mate...that 10.05 @ calder is still fresh in my mind....its a pity I'll be up in the mountains of Norway instead of heathcote to see a low 9 haha :

[ClassicAU]

That's awesome news Chris, that thing is a rocket already! I can't imagine how quick it will be then, should be insane!
I think I may need to call past myself before this meet, to see if we can't coax my barge into the low 14's at all!

[Road Games]

All the best mate , been trying to call you but your a busy man ........Mid 9s would be plow worthy ??

[montyv8]

can't wait for this one, being from the 'no 1/4mile racing for you' state (SA) :hihi:
As the friday will be the first time I've raced on a track, I don't think I'll do too well in the DYO comp.. So I'm going for the 'best burnout' award :evil3:

As for the coupe, I've recently fitted a new trans and bigger stall, so I'm swapping the current 3.7's for 4.11's to match. doing a few underbody traction-aiding mods too ;)
I'm even upgrading the engine in my effy for the trip lol.

If anyone from SA is thinking about heading over but doesn't have room for their slicks or whatever, yell out. I should have plenty of spare room on the back of the F100

Back to the burnouts, will the pad be opened for some fun at all?

Bring an esky and plenty of ice :hihi: : :newangel: :

[nugget378]

Ill be running the new combo with slicks for the first time,I will have a few runs locally on street tyres before hand if I get the time.
I should have the bonnet cut for the big carb and spacers etc ready for the day,and maybe even run pipes off and make some noise..

considering the Chloroform Racing Team (myself, barry and walkinshaw), and Greg (xalent) and his bro are coming over, yes, we'll have a large esky on hand :hihi:
don't think its contents will last too long tho lol..

I started a thread in the SA/WA/NT area asking if anyone wanted to join us..
you'd think there'd be some interest, what with the 1/4mile-racing drought we have here..

[SpoolMan]

Monty are they all racing?

[montyv8]

nah barry and dan aren't, well, they might have a run or two in my car but they aren't bringing their own. Gregs racing his coupe, and his bro is racing his fairlane I think.
Been hassling Dave (Sourbastard) to come over on the saturday but he's got stuff on that weekend..

[Sourbastard]

I'm a maybe, if chloroform racing can help me get the XP done before race day, ill be there.

[xalent]

Chloroform Racing hey? Sounds interesting....Bring some along! We call ourselves Red Eye Racing coz of all the um late nights and long drives to Heefkut! Got nothing to do with what goes on in the Millard (Team HQ) after hours....

We are happy to announce that Australia’s premier Dyno builder,
DYNO DYNAMICS will be bringing a DYNO to HPR on the Saturday May 3rd.

There will be a DYO Dyno competition at the track with prize money.
How it will work.
You nominate your RWKW and the 3 closest cars to nominate there RWKW will win the prizes.
Eg: Joe nominates 159rwkw and his car runs 165.4 rwkw he gets a difference of 6.4rwkw.
Should 2 or more cars finish on the same rwkw difference to the point, the car with the higher RWKW will be declared the winner.
The Dyno will be operated by DYNO DYNAMICS own operators (2), we are also looking for guy’s who have some knowledge to give these guys a hand, I am also looking for someone who wants to log the numbers and keep the ticket system going so cars a run in order of waiting.
The cost of this Dyno Competition is Free to all those who pay to race on the Saturday and are a member of this Forum.
Time is limited and we hope to get everyone who wants to enter gets a run, but we may full short, the dyno will be running thought the day whilst racing is going on.
Also any site sponsor who uses a DYNO DYNAMICS can use the dyno if the situation arises

So now you can back up your ET with a Dyno number and compare with your fellow racers.

Prize money and trophies are sponsored by Stef (xrqtr) @ Showtow Towing.
1st: $250 plus trophy
2nd: $100 plus trophy
3rd: $100 plus trophy


Many thanks to the following for there endeavours to get this to happen and to make this drag event bigger.
Carmel @ www.dyno.com.au , Stef from Showtow Towing & Chris @ www.bluepower.com.au

Thats a great effort organising this.
Should be a bit of fun to see how times/hp match up.
Well done

[[Tonko]]

I am considering this one, I have never been racing before and luckily its a straight line so i wont axle tramp all the way around like at DECA :
I would like to crack the 20 second barrier in the XD aswell...
Can i ask what DYO means?

[XRNIL8]

[Tonko] .... DYO ... Dial Your Own ..... tell em what you think you will run .... :eclipsee_

I am in the same boat as you, never raced on the drag strip before, but going to give it a go, although I am going on the Friday to see what times I can run ... then if I enjoy it, will sign up for the Saturday ... otherwise I will just take photos on the Saturday ;)

sounds like there'll be a few of us 'first timers' on the weekend
I'll be a bit nervous, not because I'll more than likely stuff up and do some really bad launches etc.. more so because i'll be in my coupe...

maybe I should do a few runs in my effy first

Very much looking forward to this event

do us south ozzies get discounted donuts due to the costs involved in getting to the event? :
