Default Calder Friday 10th

The usual question of who's going this friday night to Calder's Street Drags with the greatest return road man has ever built.

I am going out with my XR8 ute to test the 1st ever Textralia BOSS clutch. I've been waiting since November for this which means it will rain on friday...LOL :eclipsee_ :eclipsee_
