I had a good day. If you can call breaking $1000 worth of someone elses custom hewland gears good. Car was running a full second slower than what it
should have been as well. Ran 14.6 with same motor in a kombi. Ran 13.8 in same car at Adelaide. Best I could muster here was 14.9. The track is 500
metres long instead of 400. Thats my excuse. But looking on the bright side, I got both cars there and back in one day!!! It was a shame to see so
many VW retirements. Not a good day for our image I dont think.
Its an awesome venue for drag racing. Great viewing. Great PA. Nice pits. A world away from Oran Park. No alcohol is good too. Keeps all the dickheads
in check so its a stress free environment for families. I wouldnt have minded a couple of brews myself, but the benefits outway the costs. A cool
hairpin to fang around at the end of the strip too.
Now if only I could get a $2 bag of chips instead of a $3.50 cup.

Well i had a great day / nite at the Drags.... Wasnt a bad guest termate at my time either I said i would go around the 20s mark .... and the best
time i ran was a 20.1 and around 103 Kph... Pretty consistant except for the Semi finals when i broke out and ran 0.012 under my dial it.... Still i
am in the money but it could have been a little more ,,,, next time
And speaking of next t ime if you want to see ALL vws get yr back side track side instead of sitting up in the grandstand... its only $25.00 more
to run and have fun.

I believe that entry was $45 which included a pass for 1 crew member. If I read that right, you would be mad not to enter. Even if you dont race your
car. 2 people pay $20 each to park in the spectator car park, which is a fair walk. Pay an extra $2.50 each and park in the pits!
