mike in the galaxie was the tuffest sounding car there.

Thanks mate, she was running pretty well. Just a little slower than expected.

So who won it in the end? Was it Peachy or the other guy that broke out?

Mike, Justin Werder from Cairns was in the final with Chris Calder from Townsville. Justin broke out unfortunately.

[raytriplej]

was Werder in his torana?

Ah, thats right. Thanks Darren

Justin and I both had .402 reaction times but he had a .406 or similar as well to beat me into the final.
Don.t know what RT.s Chris had but he was the only one from group B to have 3 wins.

What time did you run Mike??

How did Martin go?

11.7,s all day. Consistent within about .010. Makes for an easy dial in.

Marty finished with a 12.8 after he sorted out the ignition box and the new manualised auto. Plenty more left in it yet apparently.

[Nemesis]

did ken get his 11?

[NAZE77]

don't think Ken got his 11.. was runnin 12.3's in qualifying and dialed in at 12.2...

but you are all forgetting the most impressive car there.... mine!.. 15.1s out of my stock magna had me stoked all night!!!!...

Good stuff Mike, just missed the fianl, damn.
Do you know how the other Cairns guys went? Did casper run?

[NAZE77]

casper went best of 11.5. Jeremy went low or mid 12's in the XY... he broke out against me in the last round, so he was pretty happy to go quicker than expected.

The crowd was the smallest i have seen for KOH but there where the diehards there supporting it still.

Jeremys xy was great to see run looked and sounded awesome, will certainly run better numbers with slicks, was wheel spinning 50-100 metres,

Tanksys falcon was running strong, all though not he's fastest times was consistent and done killer skids as usual

What a great weekend, the guys and girls up at townsville were really freindly and very helpfull, unfortunatly the weather was not as good!

We had some rain in the morning, but with a heap of us driving up and down the track to dry it out we finaly got to the racing.
The LJ ran some good times, we had to put a learner driver in it as Steve and Brock were busy, but Craig managed to hold his own recording his fastest pass at a 10.9
The JD also ran its fastest times, after a Friday engine rebuild, quick run in and staright in the trailer, Jamie managed to finally get the 8.5 he has been aiming for! luckily i guess for us that Townsville is not an Andra track as he actually ran a couple of 8.4s which may have seen him kicked of an andra track.
Tubby (Green LH) however was not so lucky, first qualifiying pass saw the front brakes lock on when Pete got to the end of the track, So no front brakes no racing! but it did do a 9.8 which is what it allways does in its first pass at every track we have been to, so it just goes to show how much effort the guys put into the track up there!

Was a great weekend, if anyone had any doubts about making the trip to Townsville you really shouldn't, we all had a great time.
Thanks again to everyone at Townsville Dragway!

Cheers,

Carley

Thanks Troy and Chereene (I hope I spelt it right). I've been tearing my scalp off for the last week but it was all for a good cause and good freinds. It's the least we could do being so far away. Wish we were closer!! Had a great weekend and must say a big thanks to Graham and the other bloke(sorry I'm a bugger with names) that helped me and Kim out with Cheyanne's car to get it back together for her third round race and then to get into the final. Thanks to Townsville dragway to for percervering to go ahead with the meet. Turned out to be a great night. Cheers:-))
