[T_Kiwi]

Did you get your SSL Licence? I got mine.I hope i need it:) You're going to have to go easy on the throttle anyway

No i didnt mate, what do i need and how d i go about it? whats the fastest i can go on the day? oh no, now im starting to panic, the day seemed so far away last week lol.


Hey can you reserve a couple more spectators tickets for me? the CV boys are gonna be coming out with me. My original pit crew will be replaced by CV boys.

[RedVYIISS]

log onto ANDRA web site and download SSL application form and send it off Monday.

No SSL, no faster than 12.000 (from memory), rules for private track hire, no faster than 11.000

[lautray]

I sent my renewal express post Wednesday. They received & processed it Thursday. Should have it back Monday.

I think Troy was investigating into whether an ANDRA official would be in attendance for initial licencing :whip:.

[T_Kiwi]

can i purchase a license on the day? is that what andra official is for

[BOMI]

OMG, guys, can you leave it any later :lmao:

I think that express post or courier would be the best option.

PM me if you want me to try and get ANDRA guy out there.

Troy :)

[BOMI]

Troy,

How silly will you look when Wade and Rick smack your arse with their work utes...


J, I think the distinct lack of smilies :bravo: :yep: :) :waving: :beer: :whip: :mgun:

In your post left it a little open to being misconstrued as a jab.

I know better as you are ex RAN and well we all know what they are like :rolleyes: :lmao:

See you all on the day, and if you wanna 1/4 fight, bring it, Im getting a 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00 RPM stally and a 100000000000000000000000000 LB cylinder of N2O.

I think he will know dont you troy? :p

I should head out and take photos on sat i think, give the new camera a run-in :D

If they have a fuel car on sat the track should be very good!

[Kyle]

Ok troy, what is the reason for wanting an andra official? is it to just get super st licences?

[Quadcams]

Bracket attack is on Saturday? Awesome, didnt know that. Will have to mention that to JH tomorrow when I call him :yep:


Troy :)

Yeh its the Maga Buck Bonanza Bracket attack, there runing everyone in there respective brackets untill they reach 32 cars then its all together with a slow and fast lane with $7500 up for grabs. Should make some interesting racing.

[BOMI]

Ok troy, what is the reason for wanting an andra official? is it to just get super st licences?

Yes Kyle, new licence's not renewals.


Troy :D

[Febs]

Mate, I read the first page of that before I posted, and all I saw was a giant SPAM thread (to your credit, most of which wasn't yours).

OK ok, will check again. :headbang:

[Febs]

Found it. Geez, page 3. That was easy. :p

(Can I suggest putting it in the first post. You know, in case someone looks at the "Bits and Pieces" thread expecting to find answers to common questions like "What time and where?" ;))

[BOMI]

:lmao: I know, thanks Dave and Nick :flip1: And whoever else spammed it up.

Scroll down through the SPAM to see actual info.

You could stay at the Formule 1 Hotel at Wentworthville. Its not too far from the track. Its something like $70. :yep:

[Bermudablue]

LOL...wind her up about 3.45pm:yep:

Will Murat do only one pass?

Tim its exactly the same as the one in Dub near HJ's, it has 24 electronic check in.

Is the family coming down still?


Troy :)

[Delft Maloo]

not now that im working sat arvo. was a good plan at first but after such a busy month and the kids being sick its all abit much for everyone atm. ill be running near stock as i havent had time to finish my turbo project yet, but all the same ill be out to do as many runs as i can and have a ball in the process. if i can get a set of spare wheels for the rear in time ill try and go through them while im there:yep: :up2sum: .

Mate you can borrow my ET Streets for a few runs if you like.


Troy :)

[Delft Maloo]

thanks heaps troy. would be good to see if i can launch with some revs. im gonna try and find a couple of stockies with near new tyres on them to see how quick i can go through them.
will 15" wheels clear the rear brakes on an hsv setup? 315mm rotors i believe.

[DaveHAT]

will 15" wheels clear the rear brakes on an hsv setup? 315mm rotors i believe.

No they won't fit over the 315mm rear brakes Tim.

You'll need 16's minimum. If you got a stock VT-VZ rear brake setup the easiest thing is to just swap the rotors and slide brackets over, then the 15's will fit.

No disconnection of the rear brake lines is required to do this FWIW.

[Aeron]

Um, what if its raining on Sunday? :( :headbang:

Do we need to ban you Aeron !!! Stop bringing up the weather ... it's a curse !!!

If the worst happens the day will be rescheduled, we will worry about this if we need to on the weekend, we won't act before looking out the window on Sunday morning.

No more "r" words please.

:D

[Aeron]

Im NOT going to wash the SS and polish the XR6T before the weekend, because every time I do, it r-words. It always does. :(

Just kidding. :waving: I hope its a cystal clear day and its 2 degress. :yep:
If my clutch was ok and I had finished off some other stuff my car would be running with you guys. I will come out spectate for a while.

That way Dave and the Team Punkin crew will at least get a look at my rear. Not that they will be able to kick it though. :whip: :headbang:

Talk is cheap :stick: :D.

[Delft Maloo]

you guys have no idea of how excited i am. ive only ever run my car down the strip at one other meeting at calder park and that was in my calais. i ran about 7 passes all with nearly the exact same 99mph. the family car didnt go to bad either pulling off a best of 13.96 at 99.5mph with just a catback and filter. i got beaten on the clock but i had a ball racing the lights. hopefully the maloo goes a little better, its got some more get up and go but launching the thing is going to be tricky.
got some 16" stockies today with some life left in the tyres, not that wide of tyre but the rims will serve better later on when i get some mt et streets.

[Delft Maloo]

just a question. do we need to have a container for the coolant overflow hose. when i raced at calder park i had to put a catch can (empty can of V) on the end of the hose just in case of spillage.

[Kyle]

It would be a good idea, they might back you off the line if you leak coolant

Troy

[choppo]

Anyone seen a grown man cry recently??? Well i should post a pic of myself right now........:( ....... after days of long hours and no sleep........ no car guys........ :( Ive sent Nick (XPOMMY) with instructions that if anyone turns up who wants to run, and it can be organised, they can take my ticket - i dont need refund.
Sincere appologies to all those involved in organising this event, i really appreciate their efforts and sorry to let you down.
Ill start another thread re;my build for those interested - have a great day guys and girls and sorry again!!!!

[choppo]

Hold the phone Batman!! Whats that, rain postponement i hear (from my secret source at the track).....:bravo:
My tears from only hours ago turn to that of joy.






Don't worry, in my minute of realising there is a God, i am feeling for all you guys that legitmately turned up and were dissapointed.

[RIDE:42]

just had a call from people at the track and it has been called off due to rain

[BOMI]

There is a new date, the 12th Aug 2007 for the WDD II :yep:

Was a great turnout, every one was on time bar a few and the weather, well it started sprinkling at about 0800 then fully raining at 0830.


Then after 2 driver meeting with myself and all drivers and two in depth chats with John from WSID the decision was made to call it a day at 1000.

A big thanks again to all the people that put their names down and paid their deposit so early.

The new the WDD II thread is going up nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.........nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn nnnnnn......now!!!!! :D

Troy

[Kyle]

The new drag day date is the day after Mark's wedding in Newie.. I'll be one tired guy... :headbang:

Glad to see so many out to brave the rain this morning...


who's catching a cold? :(

[seedyrom]

i'm tempted to give this drag racing thing the flick.

I'm stiill a virgin, but it's like i've paid a prossie, who has then said no and done a runner after she's looked at my d!ck.

(no, i'm not saying you are a prostitute Troy, mother nature is :D ... you may however have seen my knob, i'm not sure. Things were pretty crazy in my uni days)

ahhhh fug it .... i've invested so heavily in the car to travel 400 metres i'd be crazy not to give it ONE LAST chance.

[Febs]

Day wasn't a complete loss...at least we got our TrackChat merch (awesome quality gear Scotty!) and it's always fun standing around talking crap for a few hours.

Nick - love the car mate...very impressive.
Seedy - Great plates (the "LPG" bit was a nice touch :lol: )
Troy - Thanks for all your work organising this...hopefully the next one turns out to be a dry 1degC day! :D

Cheers
- Febs.

[Kyle]

Sun is out here now :(

[Gilly]

Did Bomi and Nick get their swift kick up the arse's as planned?? Paul....

[FatBoy]

Nah, didn't happen Gilly unfortunately...

I rang Nick about 9ish and he told me it looked like being a washout so i told the missus not to bother showing up either. She was planning on bringing the steelcaps out after lunch... :(

[BOMI]

Did Bomi and Nick get their swift kick up the arse's as planned?? Paul....


No babe, no kick in the arse at WSID, just the one youll give me when I get home :lmao: For going away for 8 days :(

Troy :wave:

[firebug]

Good job Troy and Nick (and anyone else involved) for organising the day, despite the weather the intentions were great, just lousey luck I say! I can say though that I have entered my 1st drag day and was able to leave without breaking anything (except my damn power arial :headbang: )

See you guys in August... :beer:

[Gilly]

No babe, no kick in the arse at WSID, just the one youll give me when I get home :lmao: For going away for 8 days :(

Troy :wave:

I'm not that bad. You are allowed to go away for a while. :whip: :whip: :mgun: :rocket:

[Gilly]

who's catching a cold? :(

You can't catch a cold unless you're exposed to the virus!!! Just an old wives tale...lol

Think I might have caught that cold anyway, despite the fact I wasn't there!!!!

[NickS]

You can't catch a cold unless you're exposed to the virus!!! Just an old wives tale...lol

... and no one wants to be exposed to de virus !!!

I have a shocker of a cold, but it came from the munchkins, not from the rain.

:cry:

[firebug]

I shivered like a bloody chihuahua all day. I'm expecting to have the flu by the end of the week... :(
