Well heres my story:

Dad and I firstly went to HJ's to get a yummy bacon and egg wrap where we met up with boris and went for a cruise down there.

The EK was packed full of weight, so on the freeway after a high speed corner you could always smell some burning rubber :roll:

The line up to get in was huge, im sure someone would have over heated - the most exciting part was when I saw fill in the Ambo drive up the wrong side of the road to get in...
Image

Line up for scrutineering
Image
Image

Yummy EK running a hotted up 186 got 17's I think
Image
Image
Image

Well the EK only just passed scrutineering, cos i didnt wipe oil off the bottom :roll:
THANKS 58CHEV FOR THE HELMET

J is this the same car that has a grey, making strange noises ? :? :?

I was going to ask last time, if it may have possibly been driven a little too enthusiastically. Nah, you wouldn't treat a grey like that ?

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

21.7 is that good ? was that after they removed the 10 second hanidcap :lol:

Andrew!!!!!!

:roll: ok I entered as the driver, they accepted my application knowing I dont have a civil drivers licence and that I wasnt racing a Junior dragster.

According to ANDRA rules u need to have a civil drivers licence.

my parents were originally going to Sydney on the weekend so a guy who races the junkyard dog altered was going to be racing it, but he quit his job the night before. We were going to fool everyone and he would pretend to be me.

so yeh dad raced
