Hi guys, only got back about lunch time today. Stayed overnight at Bendigo and went back sunday to take more pics and video. Unfortunately the regulator malfunctioned on the way home and I was stuck in Seymour for the night. Repaired the ty VN this morning and drove back to NSW in the ****ing rain.

Nice to see some many Fords out there and having a go. I was very impressed with the EA, it's a shame about the tailshaft though but you get that when you're pushing the envelope. Love the engine bay on the turbo lpg XE, and was extremely impressed by the HPF tuned XR6 turbo running a new record time.

After around 8pm it got a little to cold to be filming and so forth so I headed back to Bendigo but I had a good night anyway.

If you're lucky I might pop up the odd video or two.

how come you didn't race ??

blownvn · 15-08-2005, 06:27 PM

Can't work and race at the same time unfortunately.

_2:

To be quite honest I'm getting concerned about the auto as well. It seemed to handle the drive there and back (3.5-4 hours each way) but I brought it up on boost a couple of time during the drive and started smelling trans fluid which isn't too good. Still it's not too bad after 200 passes from an auto that all the "experts" say "can't handle any power".

I was supposed to bring the Centura (turbo hemi six) down and take that for a run on Sunday but the cold snap made life very cold out in the shed and I didn't get the new cam change finished in time.

The competition was so hot with the Holden V6 class...next Mrs XA could bring hers out for a run.

Quadcams · 15-08-2005, 10:11 PM

Well done everyone involved sounded like a good day, will have to try and get down for the next one.
Will be down on the 26th to race at calder and maybe heathcoat will be good to put some faces with names, see ya's all then.

Hey guys

We had a really good weekend! Thanks to Nicole for organising dinner at Limors on Friday night - that was the most awesome meal I have ever seen!!!! And a really good atmosphere too. Had a great time!

The yoghurt truck jokes were quite funny - I wonder where those pics have been posted LOL!

Had a good night racing... my car didnt get the PB that I hoped it would, but with me driving it, it was never really going to. However, I managed to improve my own personal PB in the car by nearly 2 tenths, with a 14.80 flat. I was actually quite pleased when I was handed a slip that said I had done a 14.71 after a really good run... ran around telling everyone... then found out I had the wrong slip!!! Hehehe.

Also enjoyed the DYO session!

I want to thank everyone who organised the whole event and for those hardworkers who helped out while I didnt. I also want to thank those were involved in the trophies and prizes - I can honestly say I was STUNNED (tm) at the generosity of some people - it blew me away!

We did have a fantastic weekend all round and it was well worth the trip over if for no other reason to catch up with you guys all over again!

We will be there next time, and I will be sure to put in double time helping out and Jeff can drag me over there kicking and screaming if I forget again! Hehehe.

Thanks guys

Jac and Eamon

Half a second is a lot Gaz and im sure if you didnt eat that second bag of donuts you might have run quicker times ;)

Faster car or more donuts.... not a hard choice really!

I see that there is a heap of photo's but none of Jason's (driven by John) Turbo EL engine power XE from Preston Auto and Diff's. That thing was a real beast.

SpoolMan · 17-08-2005, 08:38 PM

Luke from www.fullboost.com.au has written up a article on our AFF drag meet, plenty of pictures too.
thx Luke..
