Well VO, Michelle and myself went on Tuesday.  Onya and few of the lads were there as well.


Just for you MADLT1 some pics.........and videos.

Fort Part 2 showing VO's pics and vids CLICK ME (http://www.nswcorvettes.com.au/forum/viewthread.php?tid=4564)




Michelle and I got there early to get a good spot.




The track was prept and ready to go...............

And some others were there early to get good spots too.

(http://www.splashedpaint.com/cameron/Cam/DragsBoxing06/DSCF0004.JPG)




The pits were full.............

(http://www.splashedpaint.com/cameron/Cam/DragsBoxing06/DSCF0005.JPG)




So I wanderd down to get some pics before the crowds got in.

(http://www.splashedpaint.com/cameron/Cam/DragsBoxing06/DSCF0006.JPG)




A nice mean Vette..........

(http://www.splashedpaint.com/cameron/Cam/DragsBoxing06/DSCF0007.JPG)




With plenty of grunt up front.

(http://www.splashedpaint.com/cameron/Cam/DragsBoxing06/DSCF0008.JPG)




Some mean looking hogs were there.  Don't cry Bill ;39

For those in the know you all should know this motor.  Love to get him to build me one.

(http://www.splashedpaint.com/cameron/Cam/DragsBoxing06/DSCF0028.JPG)




This is one of our forum members, Sammut_Motorsports, and soon to join the club.  Also, what a small world it is.  One of his pit crew use to, and still does, works for Murrys old business.  Can you see who it is Murry?

There were also a couple of Funny Car Vettes in the group.  Not Transams as someone thought. ;39

Well that's about it for the pics, bar the next two.   A great day.

Now if you want to see some videos of the top fuellers you can click on the links below.  I only had my little digital camera with me so the resolution is only average if that.  They are about 2meg each so dial up beware.


There were two great speed record breaking runs.  I got one of them on video.




This pic shows the time with speed in kph

This pic shows the time with speed in mph

While I was there I spoke to WSID management about parking.  Club members who want to watch the drags can take there Vettes[/u] to the drags and park them here.  

(http://www.splashedpaint.com/cameron/Cam/DragsBoxing06/DSCF0041.JPG)

(http://www.splashedpaint.com/cameron/Cam/DragsBoxing06/DSCF0042.JPG)




Obviously you still have to pay entry.  I couldn't get us out of that one. ;30 ;39

If you want to know more drop me a line.  0418 674 441

I know not all club members are into drag racing but for those that are, how about we get a group together at the next decent WSID event and show off our beasts with a small display.  We can camp right next to them to keep an eye on them.  For no other reason it makes getting away easier. :22

Just food for thought.

Hi Guys,

We ran an 8.2 at 161mph, which was good enough to qualify 2nd in ss/a. We have recently rebuilt the motor and are chasing the best combination. Had a great time chatting to some club members on the day, look forward to see more of you guys out there
