Well done dude!Drive it if you can thats the fun bit,tow it if you have to but at least your racing.11.90 on the 1/8th aint to
shabby for a 1200.Just for comparrison sake my old 1200 went 28sec for the 1/4 stock then modded a little 19.2 its the best street engine per dollar
spent i've ever owned,Come and say hi in sydney for a chat.

Ian&Rose Automotive have also thrown $300 into the race kitty for the first competitor to cut a perfect light. Failing that the prize pool will be
divided into 3 x$100 and awarded to the 3 best lights of the day. Thanks Rose and Ian.
you could even win $300

You might stand a chance of winning it col as none of the alders are racing in Sydney!! Only Troy going to spectate and drop his car to westi.
Warwick is another story......

I can picture you turning up without a car and then running down the strip yourself.
Ready set go Daimo!!!

what a weekend?
decided to take the kombi,
left melbourne 10.pm friday night,with dad,son and nephew,
arrived at track gates around 9am, on arriving and accessing kombi was glad i threw in helmet removed xbox tv and esky and all bedding and comepeted, was only going to have a couple of practice runs,
but after 4 runs was happy with times
and how van was running, Lined up for 1st round and wasnt happy when i had a look at dail in of car i was competing against was 13.00secs with me at
20.20, after leaving the line well and heading halfway down the track, and still seeing car on start line in my mirrors was laughing,then suddenly
could see this beetle flying down track with finish line approaching was like a jockey on a horse pumping van home, hitting the line i didnt know
who won?? on heading back seen son clapping with hands up and thought, shit did i actually win,on getting time sheet was wrapped yes did win by.0002
sec headed into round 2 racing another kombi was pumped, left line best all day with a reaction of .016 and hittng the line 1st was ectastic going
back down exit lane until i seen my son shacking his heading saying i hadnt won, after getting times i had done a 20,05 so i broke out,should of
backed off?? after adjusting dail in to 20.00 lined up against Col and fruit loop was beaten by 0.322 and again beaten in round 4 by 0.235 but had
a ball , we packed van up and headed home around 10pm, thanks to craig and all involved organising another great event how about 2 days event felt
like it was a little rushed! but that just may have been because i was having a ball??
