I'd love to take the Aristo for another strop.
Probably won't be able to make it though.

might bring the ol' ee80 down, would be nice to see the 13's, but without a boost tap i think it might be wishful thinking.

JRCOZY Laser TX3 will be there.

Hope to break into the 11s for its first proper outing.

Was planning to be there, but due to slight mechanical issues I won't be going until the 16th.

Gutted, the first one is always the best!! Might head along as a spectator :)

nope as long as it passes scruit (usually just needs a secure battery, wheel nuts, and the usual safety crap)

Also they prep the track so you should be able to get some pretty fast times!

i've never seen them prep the track for a nightspeed meet. Admittedly i haven't raced since 2009.

Unlikely they will prep, especially since most cars are running street radials (rips the VHT off the track)

That may be the only time. Sometimes you can get lucky and the VHT from the previous weekends comp meet will still be fresh.
