Team Army at Bathurst

[XCwillo]

Hey guys, Bathurst is this week and right now im in the car on the trip there!
We've got the trailer following us with Project Digger and Armygeddon hidden away inside.

We'll be set up on Murrays corner straight after conrod straight, and will have Project Digger (The P6 LTD, with the newly built 9.3L, 572ci blown Ford Racing V8, making just over 980 HP on LOW boost aka Safe mode, wait till you hear the bloody thing!!!) and Armygeddon (100 series Land Cruiser with a Gen3 LS1 V8, the temp motor till new the blown LS7 goes in) on display and talking to you guys, the public, about what it's all about what the cars are for.

Hopefully we will get some track time both the cars so we can really show you all what the cars are capable of after all the work us apprentice mechanics and instructors have put in! (and so i can get a chance to drive Armygeddon around bathurst, not going to lie, that would make my year )

So come down and make sure you come have a gooze and talk to us, I might be on shift when you come down so ask if Willo is on and I'll be glad to show a forum member around!

Last year didnt it have those red smoke tyres on? Haha that was awsome.

I thought Armygeddon was a Land Rover.

What a freaking beast!!! Now with 9.3L and a blower

I still havent quite worked out the link between building a street machine and the defense force, but since its a Ford ill not care to much.

They're promotional tools, we've been allocated a budget and a time frame for each car. We take em around to all the major car events in aus and show people that army vehicle mechanics get some of the best hand on experience around, thus planting that seed in a lot of the young heads to join the army as a Vehicle Mechanic.
And yes my bad, 'geddon is a rover not a cruiser!
Come check us out at bathurst, we've been sited at the dead center of the merchandise alley right on track side too!

Burnouts on the main straight!!

Hmm....4 wheel burnouts by a landrover if it is still 4x4?

Edit: 6 wheel burnouts.
