Excellent Gumby!
Thats the whole idea behind the early warning, so people can get the entry and petrol money planned for and a day off.
For those that have never been before you won't be able to wipe the grin off your face, when you take off on your first run, the grip level of the track will impress

Hey Phil,
At this stage my girlfriend wants to come and watch (it's the only one she said she will go to, she will be over it after about 10 minutes  ). But Garreth is taking the 'family wagon' and it has four seats so he may have a spot.
If the seat becomes available in my car I will let you know.
Shane.

You never know mate, she may love it! My girlfriend spent 3 hours at Willowbank in QLD last weekend at a test 'n' tune with me!
I thought Garreth was gonna use the truck to take it up? Is he feeling more confident now that it will have a tougher driveline?

Hey Jack, it will be great to see your '22 make its first pass at the track. Do you have some decent tyres?
I will be at dubbo, but unfortunately don't have a car

For sure, put aside some dollars and cruise up. Decide if you want to do some runs or not on the day (just bring a helmet and all the paper work in case - see WSID website for details).
Just to cruise up and watch won't cost much and to race will add the entry fee to the trip (obviously).
You will get to do a tyre warmer each run at the drags and in front of a few more people than were at Hume too.
What do you think the Camry will manage down the quarter??
The more people that cruise up from Canberra the better.
Shane.

oooh, i dunno man, the camry on the 1/4, might manage to do about sub 10's....minutes that is. Nah, i dunno, i dare say it could manage about 18 sec, maybe a bit less, depends on the launch i spose. With the high flow air filter it does 0 - 100 in about 10 - 11, and it doesnt run out of puff until about 120km/h when it starts accelerating really slowly. but ive never run a 1/4 before, or seen it done. So id leave the guesswork up to you more experienced people.

Good to hear you should be up for the cruise to WSID Gumby, don't run your car if you're not keen.
It's good to watch anyway especially if you haven't been before like yourself Adam. You will be impressed at the acceleration of the sub 10 second cars. It shocked me the first time I went to the drags (first car I saw as we walked up to the track launched off the line and ran an 8.9  ).
I think you are about right with your 1/4 mile guesstimate for the Camry Adam. Somewhere around a high 17 to low 18.
We will see who else is going up Gumby but if no one is taking a tow truck or car trailer we might be able to get some of the cars inside the pit area as support vehicles (i.e. one per car that is racing). We will see on the day what the deal is.
I should have my car back together this weekend and then just a little fine tuning to get the most out of it at the track.

Good to see you had a run down the 1/8th Joel, and you don't need to wonder what it will do down the 1/4 for long. Just keep it running and head up with us on the 28th! You won't have anywhere near the same wheel spin on the WSID prepped track, so your times will be quicker.
Cool if you can pick up a Celica Adam, should be good for a cruise up to Sydney or a run if you choose so.

Good to hear you might be up for some runs Joel. There is plenty of time between runs to add iced water to your water to air IC (a few people did that last time we were there or had bags of ice on there air to air IC).
The idea will be to have someones car (or possibly a tow truck that may be coming?) park in the pit area so that we don't have to keep all the junk in our cars, and have our stuff somewhere easy to get after each run.
Looking like it should be some good fun! See if you can talk any one else into coming up for a run or look.

No worries Adam, congrats on the promotion. Let us know what car you end up getting.
Looks like a few Toymods people went on the Wednesday just passed and ran some good times. Hope some are there next Wednesday.

It's all good Chris, the only people who had organised time off work were Phil and myself. So it's all good.
Looks like more people are keen for a Saturday so we might be able to get a bigger convoy heading up to Sydney.
They are increasing the limit on the number of entries for a Saturday Street meet but the length of time the track is open is longer too so it is meant to sort of even things out i.e. you should get a similar amount of runs as you would on a Wednesday.
I shall keep this post updated and if the Saturday that the majority of people want to go up on (I am not picking the day its just going to be what ever Saturday the others who are racing are keen for) suits then people should come along.
My car is back on the road today and is running really well so I am super keen.
Oh yeah, my brother got his 4AGTE wagon tuned and its making 202rwkw!! But being an engine we had never used before we discovered its a bit tired and so it will be getting a rebuild before its doing any runs. A very cool sleeper though.

Good to hear you only needed to replace the hose to get it back on the road Joel, must have been good to know the HG and head were fine.
I just popped down to Belconnen last night so I thought I would give the rolla a little run.
Would you possibly be keen to go to WSID on Saturday 22nd May?? I know you work most days (I have to get the Saturday off too) but let us know what you think.

yeah thats sounds good, that'll give me time to do a few last little mods, and maybe get that dump pipe so I can run 10psi Properly, she kinda chokes atm cause the opening to the exhaust is too small.
I don't work saturdays anymore, have them all off.

DAMMIT  We should stop planning shit and be spontanious, everytime I plan something, something goes wrong,
Like now I have no brakes.........
looks like either my rear brake lines burst or my seals inside the rear calipers failed cause i am loosing fluid hell fast and my rear wheels are covered in it.
So I may be out again, cause if I get this fixed this week I may not have enough money for fuel to get up there.
sorry guys  real dissapointed

Cheers.
A handy tip: if your car is working ok now, go put it in the garage and don't touch it until it's time to leave tomorrow. Then at least it will break on the way to Sydney and not before we leave .

Well what can I say but, What a fantastic day!
Congrats goes to shane for organising it.
The runs were great and my hat goes of to Shane and Brad who ran each other 3 times (well thats all we got to see) and on the last one only separate by 0.005 seconds .
I can't wait for this again but next time I'll run, so a few more mods first.

Yep, top day, great turnout from Canberra, I counted 9 cars.
Shame about all those bloody falcadores! Will have to keep an eye on LS1.com to see when they next plan to attack WSID, so we can stay away!
