Default Willowbank Race Night.

Me and Josh (The monty) will be heading to willowbank raceway on the 28th of April to run our cars down the track. Im myself have never been down the track so im not expecting brilliant times, but a good low 14 should be in the bags i hope.

Just opening the invitation to any other Au drivers from around willowbank would be interested in tagging along?

Cant wait, should be a couple of AU's, at least 2 NA 6's running mid to low 14's, so would be good to come out and watch.

Tell me about it, I am doing a few things and a retune before we go out, so I should be closer than I am now.

Its $40 for you, your car, and one passenger, and as many runs as you can fit in. For people wanting to spectate, its $20 each. So you may as well just race anyway.
You will need an Australian standards Helmet, long pants, covered shoes and a Jumper.

51OAU, your on. I've got slips for a 14.3 so far. Now with added rear castor, so it should get better traction.

My XR8 is pretty stock, T Series headers, single 2.5 zorst and the Lokka. Should be good to compare modded 6 vs stockish 8

Ok, lets make this a bit of a challenge then.
We'll get a list of us AU guys that are going out, and either a guess of how you think it will go, or a time that you have done that you want to beat. Closest person wins somethin. Say all chuck in $5 and get the winning person something (I need ideas).

So we have -
Cam - Aspirated 8 - wants ____
The Monty (Josh) - Aspirated 6 - 14.6, wants 14.3
SloAUXR8 (Brett?) - Aspirated 8 - 14.3, wants ___
510AU (Trav) - Aspirated 6 - wants ____
CFour (need help) -______- wants ____
FRD906 (Matt, Just do it, you wont hurt your car, and its only $40) - Aspirated 6 - wants ____


Fill in the blanks if you can guys, we'll try and line each other up (its not that hard) and have some fun.
