Yes there are supposed to be two jet powered cars there.

What time does it all kick off on Sunday,
and what time do we have to be there to enter and run?

I'd say gates would open at 9. Scrutineered by 10:30. You just drive right up to the pits now to be scrutineered.

I'm good to go for my 2nd attempt at 12's.
You don't need a front bumper to race do you?
Hope not.

Really?
$&#$% it. I'll try anyway. The scrutineering seems to be quite lax.

Awesome stuff. That front mount has given you a heap more power for you to add 4mph to your trap

Yea aye, now when I launch it grips then peels up again. I did my good runs after the alcohol cars ran, then I went on their warm skids and got traction.

It was damn hot tho. I think it could a little bit better at the night drags coming up.

Its just not the same at Ruapuna with no hairdresser cars, hint hint.....
