yeh no worries mate...i am getting them on a cd so i will give them to you with the vide's of the cars also...
that pic is actually a 5mb pic...its 3 pics stuck together in photoshop...hence no rocks trees people or the fence that was directly behind my car...
nice work on the organisation...i dont think youd make it as a photographer unless you work for penthouse....cos we all know the ladies like to take their clothes of for the kryzstof kransky...

I'll be going out with the crown again on september 5th anyway(sunday day/arvo drags). Anyone keen for that?
I can't go out on wednesdays just because of the time factor-by the time I get a trailer/car, load up, dive there through traffic from blackwood it's already getting late-and then theres coming come again after......

I might be keen but I'm pretty damn busy at the moment exams etc etc so as much as I'd love to 6500rpm launch my GT4 and still get traction, I may have to miss out.

Yeah dude motorbike helmet is fine, hafta wear long pants and long sleeves too. And just really have a roadworthy car, ie pass scrutineering.
It cost me $35 on wednesday night and i definitely recommend people do it, such an awesome adrenalin rush!!!!

Note : non-synthetic clothing is good...you do not want to end up with plastic melted to your skin (ie polyester) I dunno if they check this but it's technically a requirement.
Basically jeans and any decent long sleeve cotton shirt is good.

What is scrutineered, and how many passes does $35 get you?
Are you required to do a burnout before launching?
Do you get time slips?
I'd be nervous, I've never been to the drags before.

Scrutineering they just look over your car, make sure your tyres are legal, check that everything under the bonnet is secure, battery mainly, check your seat isnt gonna come flying off the rails, if theres still a spare in the boot (yes i left my spare in, i figured no matter what i did it was still gonna wait a lot) then they make sure its held down securely, they check the helmet too, make sure its gonna stop you from...hurting yourself if you...crash?
The $35 was for unlimited runs, i did 9 but you can do as little or many as you want.
You dont have to do a burnout before you run, but its fun and it doesn actually warm up the tyres and make them sticky.
After you run down the 1/4, you follow the road around the back of AIR and there'll be a caravan on your right, stop there and get your time sheet!
Its all very daunting at first, but after the first couple of runs its awesome fun.
/end essay!

Sounds great and easy! I might give it ago, burnouts would be pointless in an openwheeler.
So does or doesnt? not sure if that was a typo?
