Hi Guys,
Who's in for one more blast at Willowbank before Christmas? I'm thinking Sat 11th December, that gives everyone enough time to organise.
thanks
Frosty

OZ Towdster ·

Yep , was only thinking about that yesterday , just as long as it doesn't get pushed out from that date as i'mm not available after that date

RAZ34 ·

Hey Frosty,
Spoke with Pete tonight and we will bring up one or two of the cars.

vassy66T1 ·

Time to run the SC down the track I am thinking

matberry ·

Should be able to get Tony and his manx....he's keen to give it a run on the 1/4.

Stanley ·

I'll watch......🥲

or I could race the notch...how about a notch race Rod. I think they'd be pretty even

FROSTY ·

Unreal !!!! Now I can't wait....😁

RAZ34 ·

Don't be so sure Stanely . Ring Dave to see what I am buying the notch for Chrissy . Might have to fit a trans-brake as well.

LIFE IN THE LOW LANE ·

Can I convince Troy to give the Fasty it's last hurrah and gets some 1/4 mile numbers before it's pulled apart adn the transplant begins...

we'll see.......

but yeah i will come and watch and lend a hand if the minister for social economics doesn't book me out to something waaaay less fun!!

All the more reason to bring it out before Chrissy

oldskl60 ·

Cool, can't wait!

FROSTY ·

Me too, I have a couple of mates turning up with Commodores too. hehe

LIFE IN THE LOW LANE ·

Will try and get out to spectate work permitting and house moving permitting...

Dak-A-Tak ·

Well , the weather looks like it's going to upset our end of year play .
showers all week with another rain front moving in on week-end , even if it's not raining the track will be average anyway .
Mybe after christmas we might be able to have a play ( or new year)

vassy66T1 ·

Nooooo!! It can't be

Dak-A-Tak ·

Well guys , rain sucks !! I'm pulling the pin , it's not looking good , so even if it fines up I'm not taking the chance.
Willowbank web site does'nt say anything yet .
Maybe we can set up a new date for new year .
Cheers

FROSTY ·

I'm ready to go, will wait to 3pm and then call them.

20bkombi ·

I'm going to reschedule for Wed 15th gates open 5:30pm, if the weather is better.

oldskl60 ·

Just finished bucketing here but looks like more so I'll try make the 15th but failing that will go for the early in the new year...

vassy66T1 ·

Wednesday weather looks hopeful ... Fingers crossed.
I'll be coming

FROSTY ·

Hi Guys,
Yep i'm in for Wednesday too,
Thanks
Frosty

Dak-A-Tak ·

Willowbank web site update , 11th test & tune cancelled .
Not sure on a mid week 15th Dec !

vassy66T1 ·

Be sure Pete 🙂

It will be great weather and good fun!

Stanley ·

So who's in for tonight?

FROSTY ·

Me, if anyone mentions the "R" word ...

Stanley ·

What about Pagey, Rod R, Aaron and Michael Nash and anyone else.

oldskl60 ·

I forgot I have work related Christmas drinks so I am out.

Look forward to hearing some success stories. Have fun guys!

vassy66T1 ·

I'm in ...

20bkombi ·

Me too!

Sides ·

Man I wish I could be there...

Have fun guys - seriously lookin forward to hearin how everyone goes !!!

👍

Dak-A-Tak ·

Sorry guys not me got a massive headache after being hit by a piece of hail in the head.
Dvd not quite finished, hopefully tonight.

Dak-A-Tak ·

Willowbank tonight has been cancelled because of rain

13b type 3 ·

I hate the rain grrrrr,🙁 racing cancelled again.

Sides ·

Holy cr@p Pagey... OUCH !!!

FROSTY ·

I drove in the gates just as they called it off. It was looking promising all the way up there and all went to shit 5km's from the track. I saw Stanley driving home and Michael turn up as I was leaving. It looks like the 13sec will have to wait till 2011...

vassy66T1 ·

Yeh. Very disappointing. Dry roads in lots of places but the heavens opened up on Willowbank 👎

Stanley ·

Yeh they called it while I was there. $20 to stand in the rain.....bargain...🙅

20bkombi ·

I'm going to try again on the 22nd (wed) then mabe again on the 29th(wed).

FROSTY ·

22nd is out for me but the 29th sounds good.

20bkombi ·

Not going to bother heading up today

dangerous ·

Might be OK today?

Where were you guys?? It wasn't bussy either.
My times were
R/T 60' 1/4 MPH
.128 1.98 14.35 89.9
.193 1.92 14.24 90.5
.373 1.93 14.16 91.4
.433 1.92 14.10 91.2
.266 1.94 14.38 89.7 then got the shits and put it on the trailer.
Micheal Nash was there and not sure what happened, first run had a tuff burnout and off the line there was traction issues with a big fish tail and a slow run to the end. Second one also was a tough burnout and the shut it off and pushed it back. ( not sure what stopped him, i guss we will hear soon enough)
His car looked HOT out on the strip !!!!

Thanks
jason

whathaveidone ·

Not a bad night out! If i put the car on the trailer every time i got the shits with it i would never get a run!!!!!!LOL

Stanley ·

If I had of known you were going Frosty I would have used my entry from a few weeks ago.

Take some more weight out Frosty

FROSTY ·

I think its time for a turbo...

oldskl60 ·

Take some more weight out Frosty
Yeah, take another couple scoops of rust out...
Great work for flying the flag, is 14.10 a pb? Regardless it sounds like a successful outing!

Take some weight out and do some mods to the engine. There are some NA mouse motors producing big HP
