Hoping to be ready for this Friday night. Then Nostalgia Meeting, 30th Spetember meeting and 28th October. Probably throw in a T'n't here and there aswell.

I'm running a draw-thru carby Turbo 265 Hemi Charger with a best time of 12.55 @104, just trying to keep head gaskets in it.

Yeah, thats it in my avatar. It's on slicks, but it's bacisally a street car that isn't rego'd. I did want to get it on the street and run 11's, but it's not really suitable so going to put it in a lighter shell.

Hi Adammacca, me and a few mates are heading down from T'vill for the meet on the 30th for a look. Is that meet allways big ? should get a few quick times yea ? my mate has been before but I haven't just wondering what you think of the Mackay track and set up? I see you running a charger.... then you'll probly know my mate's (Lucas) charger from t'vll. Me him and a few other mates are heading down.

BLK EVO4, It'll go into a gutted Charger my dad is running 11.0's in with a 360. So i'd expect to drop maybe .5 by changing cars.

Benson93, We only had the one Nostalgia meet so far, but it was pretty big last year and expect it to get bigger. Should be some pretty good times.

Yeah I know Lucus's Charger, very nice. Palmyra is regarded as the best regional track in Australia behind the 3 metro tracks. I haven't been to Townsville in a long time, but heard it's a bit ordinary these days. The track for the Nostalgias should be ok, but not it's best with the amount of normal streetcars running. It'll probably be better than what the track was like at Benaraby when Lucus ran the Charger there.

Is Lucas bringing the Charger down? I hope so. Are you coming down on the Saturday, we are having a function and a cruise that Arvo/night.

naze77, Good luck finding one to build up, not many of them around.

Meeting at the Aero Club (can send you a map) at around 4.30pm leave at around 5pm for a short cruise, maybe get back around 6pm. Then I spose people can park their cars up and talk and there is a bar there aswell. There will be old Nostalgia videos and stuff playing.

I was looking foward to the Charger coming down. Damn!

Yes, yes I did. I saw the Charger at Chryslers Cruizin Rocky. Its a very nice car in the flesh. Goes to show what can really be done with a Mopar.
