It cost me around $2000 the time i ran at Heathcoate, Hell of alot of money and Km's for few hours. Maybe ok once a year for ya average SA.

Bet there are heaps of killer un-used cars sitting, waiting and wanting to be Raced..

Bloody Sad to See, to be honest!

By all accounts, major construction should be commencing mid year. Next club meeting is on the 25th of this month, hope to get an update on progress then.

This is a fairly new page they have setup, and not all of the latest info is on there yet. Join the facebook group (there is a link on the above page) for up to date progress.

Yeah and that is helping our cause for sure. AIR will be like a donkey track compared to what we will build.

haha. I got a little on tape, he strolled through the burnout so I didnt think it was going to be a hard run so Murphys told me to stop taping. Then the Capri launched so hard pointing the nose sky high, and I missed it.

I got a little on tape when I get it sorted. I remember the coupe. Such a tough Falc too but the wierdest thing about it was the rear qtrs having that tiny bit cut out, couldnt work out why that was done.
