xc 460 · 21-03-2007, 02:18 PM

We will be there, we are running my Old Mans Customline for the first time since the rebuild and new Engine. It's always a good day if the weathers Ok.

agony · 21-03-2007, 02:51 PM

You mean the Shaker. It was unveiled 2005 at the Hot Rod Rumble at Calder park.

I'm heading up with a car load of guys. Just a shame the XR wont make it this time around.

Pity your car is not ready, would like to see your XR go the same TIME/MPH as your emisioned XC.

XR 387 lets hope it goes at least, 12.05 @114

agony · 22-03-2007, 07:34 PM

Troy I wont be there, my tow guy is going up and already taking 2 cars, thats if the weather is fine. Maybe next time the coupe will be ready and I will be able to drive it up there.

agony · 24-03-2007, 08:10 AM

weather as of this morning is forecast for Min 10 Max 22 Fine all day
( taken from the weather channel - Heathcote forecast )

SpoolMan · 25-03-2007, 11:03 PM

Huge Crowd the biggest I have seen at Heathcote, to give you an idea it took 45 min to 1 hour to buy a drink the lines were 25 deep all day..
Not the biggest field of cars but I was told it’s the biggest ever hot rod turn out to race, the show shine was well supported.

Here a few pics if you want to view them all hit the link to the photo bucket..

agony · 26-03-2007, 08:03 AM

Great pics spoolman, looks like a top day.

Troy did you end up going? If so how did the cussy run?

xc 460 · 26-03-2007, 09:09 AM

Hey Brett, Yeah we went but the clutch blew up first run. We were half expecting it to happen so we didn't care. The car seemed to get off the line good, nice and straight so we were happy with that. Dad is sussing out some more options today for the clutch so it will be up and running in the next week or so

agony · 26-03-2007, 09:17 AM

No good Troy, all that way and not a full pass.
What are you and dad expecting it to run?
What times did Brewer run his his van?

xc 460 · 26-03-2007, 09:53 AM

Yeah it's a bit of a shame it will be sorted out though. Hopefully once it is fully sorted it will run in the 9's , it only has the smaller cam in it at the moment and has only been chucked on the dyno to make sure air fuel ratios were alright and it still made 450 kw at the wheels so there is still a shiitload left in it. Cheers

Ps. The only time I saw Caig Brewer run he was wheelspining half the track!

agony · 26-03-2007, 09:56 AM

You would have to be happy with those figures already.
We be a weapon once big cam is in and you sort it all out.
Have to be happy with running 9's

Well organized went smooth all day, getting inside H/P the cars were backed up onto the tared road that’s how busy it was..
Quickest ET on the day was 8.40.
I noticed no motor bikes running are they not a part of the Nostalgia event, anyone know?

agony · 26-03-2007, 11:29 AM

I dont think they are mate.

My mates were going to bring up there top bike but just ran out of time, they wanted to do some test passes with new gear but maybe calder one Friday.

GRNKPR · 26-03-2007, 12:00 PM
