bangm001 · 27-09-2011, 03:36 PM

Hi guys, couldnt see any other posts on this.

Just thought I would let Adelaidians know that on Saturday November 26th Adelaide International Raceway will be holding a 1/8th mile drag racing event.

Hope to see you all there! It has been a very long time so come and show your support and maybe well get the full quarter back!

Looks good for the meet, they have already filled the 200 entry spots.

davenl5l · 28-09-2011, 10:02 AM

its posted in the sa section.still no admission prices listed though,makes it hard to budget for a day out when its also a 4 hour round trip for me.

BHDOGS · 28-09-2011, 12:33 PM

blueoval · 28-09-2011, 12:36 PM

I'll be there to support the event but won't race. I hope the place is a sell out.

as long as you leave your pos at home... all will be good.....

They did list entrance prices in the article in last Sunday's Sunday mail.

Adults $30.00
Children were I think $20.00
And under 12s free entry (again off memory). Maybe someone can confirm who still has the paper.

True rev heads in Adelaide who have had to travel interstate to see a damn top alcohol or top fuel machine run for the last 10 years wont have any issue with these prices. Thats how much pit entry was 10 years ago anyway!!!

And yeah, not too sure about the rest of the quality of cars, as long as there are a few top alcohol or doorslammers there should be good (see link below). Just hope they dont still have only one tractor to clean up oil spills!!
They are trying to have ANDRA sanctioned events late next year and without a strong turnout they may find it harder.

Racing starts 12:00... And according to Andra, 8 top doorslammers!!

Going by the cars on the entry forms the list is more than worthy.

you my friend have absolutely no concept of the underlying car scene that exists in Adelaide... forget the dh element.... there is some very hardcore people and topshelf cars.... we may not have a track but we have not lost the love.....

blueoval · 29-09-2011, 10:11 AM

I'll pay the $30. That's still cheaper than driving interstate to see a street meet. Looking forward to it.

FreddyDUZ747 · 29-09-2011, 01:39 PM

Get him in that tunnel Shav when a 6second car goes by.

I wonder how many wont back off straight away when crossing the line at half track with all that run off to go lol.

blueoval · 29-09-2011, 03:06 PM

haha, I will. He is a bit of a nutter as it is. So this will suit him to a tea.

GPS timing in car for the full 1/4?

FreddyDUZ747 · 29-09-2011, 03:10 PM

I dare say we may get a gentle chinwag in scrutenering,if not woot woot!

Ill try the new Gtech to see its accuracy.

bangm001 · 29-09-2011, 06:57 PM

Yeah I have had to use the G Tech for ages now, they are meant to be reasonably accurate.

A whole generation of kids will have no idea on what to expect the first time they see a doorslammer line up at the lights!! Will be fun just to watch! LOL!

dieseltrain79 · 29-09-2011, 08:44 PM

Heads up , NOrmally with 1/8th mile racing , anyone caught deliberately exceeding the 1/8th mile finish line by a large margin ( purposely ) gets a warning then removed from racing . Its how most Meetings are run around Aus, regardless of potential runway leftover .

SO i wouldnt push it guys , as tempting as it may seem

It could just ruin it for everyone in the long run .

There is talk of AIR returning to full 1/4 mile in the future , with upgrading to surfaces and braking areas for saftey reasons . Thats wasome to see SA getting something to race on again after 10 + yrs .

Now that brings back fond memories. I remember standing in the tunnel when Jim Read was driving the Chesterfield T/F, ahh the noise and vibration then running up the stairs to tell Dad all about it. Well worth the trip.

JG67k · 19-11-2011, 06:23 PM

Was reminded by my son that next sat is the 26th,that means this time

hope's it's gunna happen,just checked forecasts and 29 deg is forecast.
Yahoo like a kid before christmas, Im getting excited,any one else.

SO WHENS THE NEXT MEET? I missed out on the previous one

Saraco · 01-01-2012, 08:20 AM

Apparently later on this month. There are also strong rumours, that it will be a full 1/4 mile this time.

thredwa · 01-01-2012, 08:56 PM

Keen as for full 1/4 street meet
