FROSTY · 6 Feb 2010, 7:30 am

Is anyone planning to run at Willobank TNT anytime in Feb? I need a friend out there...LOL

dangerous · 6 Feb 2010, 8:43 am

I might try for a Wed night later this month.
Just need to pick up a couple of fuel injection parts, and then see if it still runs.

1/4 mile box is back in, with synthetic ACE oil,
and also going back to ACE 30 in the engine.
I wonder if I can still drive a manual trans?

FROSTY · 6 Feb 2010, 9:12 am

the only wed in feb is next on the 10th, thanks dave. anyone else?

oldskl60 · 6 Feb 2010, 9:52 am

gavin · 6 Feb 2010, 12:00 pm

FROSTY · 6 Feb 2010, 2:45 pm

And Gavin doesn't matter what you run along as you give it a boot full.

Go the volksies!

FROSTY · 24 Feb 2010, 6:59 pm

Anyone else?

Stanley · 24 Feb 2010, 7:39 pm

i'm in...but I'll help DB...and you too Frosty.

I'm putting the blower on hold and putting the turbo back on with a holley and new heads. So i'll be right to go second half of the year Frosty, when the air is good for volksies. Can't let you have all the fun

oldskl60 · 24 Feb 2010, 8:32 pm

FROSTY · 27 Feb 2010, 7:15 pm

It's going to be unreal with a few friends there. I'm swapping a gear box at the moment so I can burn out both tyres.
Wednesdays Gates open at 5:30, I try and get there early....... (but no later than 6pm).

555bug · 27 Feb 2010, 7:24 pm

anyone else on here own a motorbike who would like to ride out to watch the bugs and perhaps do a few passes? Wes are you keen? I can do some video of the evening.

Stephen

FROSTY · 27 Feb 2010, 8:02 pm

Hey Stephen, give you bike a run.

Gunna · 27 Feb 2010, 8:03 pm

We'll be there to follow the bug boys around but I'll be in a BRIGHT yellow Suzuki Hatch complete with wanker pipes.
I'll take it for a run down the track for a laugh.
If we can be of help to anyone give us a hoy.

coletrickle · 28 Feb 2010, 6:22 pm

Just to let you guys know that my crystal ball says that the 17 will be a shit fight at willowbank!the 1320x event to be filmed for tv is running on Fri 19 and sat 20th and sunday 21st is the streetmachine streetcar and muscle car shootout.I understand a lot of people are comming up from down south for the event so expect a busy wed tnt.

FROSTY · 1 Mar 2010, 6:08 pm

I'm still going regardless, $40, even if i get 2 runs i think it's better value than a carton of piss.

oldskl60 · 8 Mar 2010, 1:28 pm

Looks like I will be out. Have found a couple little issues with the tranny so it is off to Dr. Dangerous....

All being well I'll aim to get out early April.

FROSTY · 8 Mar 2010, 4:11 pm

gavin · 8 Mar 2010, 7:04 pm

FROSTY · 8 Mar 2010, 7:33 pm

And what's this...you were there 2 weeks ago as well!

FROSTY · 18 Mar 2010, 4:00 pm

I had some isues at the beginning middle and the end of the night....one plug lead melted to the exhaust ( electrical tape and zip tie fixed it) then a lead came off the dist cap ( I taped them down) then some shit in the carb stopped it from idleing. But had fun and thats the fastest it has run with the fan belt on. Oh.. and stoked my welded diff didn't break either. I got 5 runs. 23sec, 17sec, 15.2,15.1 and 14.9
Ps. Dave got kicked off the track too.

Dave Olsen was very well behaved.
In fact he was so quiet I will have to admit I did not even realise at first
he was sitting right by me in the stands!!

vassy66T1 · 18 Mar 2010, 5:27 pm
