Very keen brett! And we will definately be scrubbing that 12.9 off the board before the meet. Some good incentive to get it out of the shop!

Cant wait

I should know by Friday the 17th of September. The hold up is I have applied to use parts of Reid Park (pit lane, a garage, and an upstairs conference room) for the meeting point but it takes a while for the council to proccess my application. Originally Saturday the 11th of december was the date I was after but apparently there is something on at Reid Park this day, the lady I spoke to was unable to tell me what it was but if it is just a concert over the back in the grassed area I will try to get the comp moved to this date as I'm concerned that having it one week before Christmas on the 18th may cause a few headaches for entrants.

I'm not sure, I know he was keen last year but he was ill at the time. I'll catch up with Tony next week and see if he knows. From memory last year he was looking at running pipes up, pump fuel and drag radials to have a crack at Street Trim class. Great news to hear Daryl is keen, I'll put him on the list

If you think you have a suitable car that you think looks good and goes fast pm me on here with details. Preference will be given to entrants cars.

One photo from this shoot will be used as the basis for the A2 promo posters to be displayed all over town, and the A6 size flyers to be handed out to the general public by promo girls.

[sinister]

Look at getting DL sized fliers. They're cheap as. I got 5,000 done for $148.

[Evocoop]

I'd offer you mine for some pics Teach but considering it's been crashed and beat to sh!t I'm pretty sure it's not what you're looking for.
Also, for reference, my last attempt at the straight line stuff it went 11.3 at 125ish

Brett,

I will be up for the drags next weekend and would love to be in the photoshoot but I fear it just isn't pretty enough anymore since Powercruise.

Jas.
