Hi Guys/Girls!

We had a great night last night at Eastern Creek Drags.  4 Vettes turned up and we raced each other.  Warren had some issues with his being too fast for a convertible according to some very outdated rules.  He ran a 12.9 and the powers to be considered it too dangerous for him to continue...funny how they seem to know more than GM whom built the car to do 300kph!

Warryn managed to convince them to let him run some more (never seen a grown man beg on his knees before as well as Warren did...) and we finally got the two C6's together.

Some older Vettes turned up (sorry guys I can't remember your names) and they raced each other as well.  It's good vision so enjoy the video and hopefully we might get more vettes next time.
Comments most welcomed

Allan in the C3 and I'm guessing the C4 driver is Les.

Thanks for the video. Just a small request for the future ... hold the camera steady on the ET & Speed result screen for each lane for at least 3 seconds to allow time to read it. Do this after both cars have gone through the traps.

Hi
One of the oldies was me. I'am glad you took some video of the fun we where having.
We may not be the quickest, but the Vettes got the attention. :ado:

It was good to leave some rubber behind.

Till next time.

Yes the camera operator is still getting the hang of how to do it...40 lashes and she should be fine next time...:club:
