It all depends on who turns up on the night. I find the Wednesday nights are a lot quieter than the Saturdays. Last time we went I had about 8 runs by 7pm and had enough so I sat in a stand and watched but other times I was flat out getting 2 runs because of rain.

I'll front up with the Audi and crack a 16sec 1/4 haha

Hmm not sure, maybe, Ive not taken the Golf down the strip... the last night I went in the Supra, I did about 12 runs

................always wanted to attend one of these and it would be good to watch u guys take the vw's for a fang...... howeva boras bushings need to be replaced quite badly thanks to shocking qld rds. So I dont think id make this one.

what exactly are these events....are they testing cars straight line speed, so that we are able to know how work on our cars as improved performance? and I can see you need a helmet from willowbanks website, which I have been meaning to get for sometime does anyone know where to buy good helmets from?

In the 4 years I had the MPS I never went, but curious to try it in the Golf. Might watch before participating!

look around motorbike shops for helmets. they have a large range and that's your best chance of getting a bargain when they clear stuff to make way for a new range. motorbike helmet is fine for this event as long as it has the australian standard sticker, which they should all have unless they're toys.

some people are clowns and turn up with full face motocross helmets with dust filter. who knows, maybe that's a good thing when the commodore beside u decides to create a smoke screen to hide the car from all angles.

Would love too but.... I'm giving the clutch a little more time to heal after I hurt it quite badly.

Long pants, long sleeve shirt and enclosed shoes are a must along with the helmet. I just used an old dirt bike helmet and had no dramas.

Best of luck to all those who are going out.

[Tarmac]

Ill be out there......after my GTX3071 is installed
