Ok, it's getting close now. 1 more week to go. 12 July 5pm. Willowbank Raceway.

Any more people interested in coming up for a run? Remember we will have a TRD Hilux their to drool over and maybe have a drive of down the strip. Remember if you do not want to run your hilux feel free to come up for a meet and greet and get to know some of the people from the site or bring another car out of the garage to run.

Do you want me to bring a BBQ so we can have a feed? Say some snags on bread like bunnings, bit of dead horse?

Regards,
Camwill69

Remember the following, Rug up as it will be cold out their, and I mean Cold.
Also, requirements for runs are as follows.

Requirements for a car
helmet to Australian Standards
long sleeve shirt
long pants
covered shoes

Special note:Cars can not run quicker than 11.00 sec
Bikes can not run quicker than 10.00 sec
To run quicker than these you will need an ANDRA licence
Cost$36 to race, admits the entrant and one other.
Spectators $18 adults, $16 students with ID
Children 13 & under are free

I do not think we will have to worry about breaking the 11 sec time and requiring a ANDRA licence.

Just remember if you are bringing 2 cars that the entrants fee includes 1 passanger, so if you have 3 people in one car and 1 in another to put 2 in each car so you do not have to pay for the 3rd person in the other car. Hope thats clear???????

TRD Hilux will be their at about 6.30 for those interested.

The results are in. Curian was the fastest I think. If you could post up your times as I can't remember all of the.

Camwill69 = 17.415sec D4D Auto

Considering my reaction time was all of 1 whole second I was very happy with the performance. A close race between me and Ian was the high light.
Should have been their, those who said they would attend and did not make it, you all missed a good night.
