Who is going to b the test driver big balls require
not real sure yet , its very uncomforable for me ,was built for Rick who fairly big guy , i did bump into an old mate at Bike Rally , ex Nitro Harley rider , no fear .... think he'll do
...the POLICE..never think it's as funny as you do
any idea on the first flight ???? time
some where around septemer october , will take to local 1/8 mile at Wellington for some test runs
...the POLICE..never think it's as funny as you do
how often do they run Wellington ??
what about Warwick in Qld for the VW drags October long weekend
not to often at Wellington , think they have a break over winter ,start again round september october ,if all goes well i intend to run it ,or at least display it a Warwick VW meet
...the POLICE..never think it's as funny as you do
If you do bring it to Warwick
It will have to run down the track even if only for a display slow run
yea ok , no static car show thing at all ?, ive never been to Warwick VW meet
...the POLICE..never think it's as funny as you do
Warwick is good weekend
plenty of room to camp or motels in town we are camping in town for the 1st time in 15 years
Wellington is the air strip isnt it ? I remember getting dragged out to Casterton street drags to find out it was an actual street road with no run off between two farms and watched a methanol burning HG sedan giving it hell against a run what you brought rival 304 nitrous HJ sedan with the local constabulatory blocking off the section of road for the weekend,cars that should of been at Portland strip than a country backroad 200km away ,insane racing even crazier crowd !
yes correct BoogieRider , airstrip, not much in the way of traction , be good enough for some test runs
