Fast cars, cool cars, and friendly chat, a great day out for the club.
Thanks to all the guys who turned up, hope you guys from other states can also make it to the Nostalgia Drags when it comes your way.
Cheers,
Craig.
Oh, and what beat Alex in the final rounds?
;D
there arent many cars around faster than a well modified FC holden, this black one did 7 seconds in its 1st run, dont know how quick it ended up doing.(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/FCCOOL/fc7.jpg)
Man I wouldnt be able to express in type how awesome this event was ,Very very bad luck to those who didnt go :(
Heres what youve missed.....

I flattened the digi cam ,The movie cam and my phone , And 1 or 2 pics usualy do me - awesome ;D
This pic says it all
And this is serious patina
And this ute has an uncanny resemblance to the ute I’m building, or better put, my ute has an uncanny resemblance to this â€" you get the picture
the bloke that works with my father in-law owns the ute its a kool old ek
Steve,
Can you find out how he did the tonneau cover on the EK? It's made of/covered with the normal vinyl, but has no visible fixings.

Was a great day, ran into Alex (custom fc) and John Rapinette, but they were too busy studying their timecards.... :P
Hey SRV.
You shoulda introduced yourself.
We woulda shared the moment with you.
I remember you saying g'day, but did not know who you were.....we had a bit of that, met some nice folk and heard about some Nostalgia cars being built.
Nice pics everyone. I will get mine up soon.
Had a blast!!
Regards
Alex
Quoteran into Alex (custom fc) and John Rapinette, but they were too busy studying their timecards....
...not surprising, they both had some pretty big numbers to contemplate... ;D
Edward, Edward, Edward....you shouldn't leave yourself open like that.
I believe you entered your Ford on the day......enlighten us on the times you ran.
Oh that's right, your Ford never made it out of your garage.
You should have entered your Holden, it wouldn't have let you down. :)
Our numbers may not have been as low as some, but our grins were as big as anyone there. ;D ;D ;D
Regards
Alex
hey Alex, no biggie mate.... just remember to look out for mine at the next meet!
p.s I still want some tech on your taillights man.... and who did your striping?
Alex,
Just making sure you were watching ;D
So..........what happened......who's got the fastest stock grey?? Did "Mr Sideplate" Saul get knocked off his pedestal or what?? ;D
Mr Sideplate holds his crown for another day - there were no grey powered challengers :-/
What a great day it was. Here are a few pics I took.

This caught my eye in the car-park. One of Chuck's photos shows this car in a line-up.
(http://tinypic.com/66hxug) (http://tinypic.com/66hy1e)
This was the fastest early Holden in the Nostalgia section, running at least one eight second time.
(http://tinypic.com/66hye1)
And no surprises that Joe Schembri's supercharged outlaw FC was the fastest Holden of the day. I can't recall what it ran now, very low 8 I think. As Mick Dundee might say, "That's not a wheel tub. This is a wheel tub" ;D
(http://tinypic.com/66hyy1)
And here come our normally-aspirated in-laws :) The look on the face of the kid says it all I reckon. He had Alex for reaction-time, and was with him up to the eighth-mile mark ;D ;D
cheers

Did anyone get a pic of the girls dressed in Nostalgia gear ? My mate dragged me around for about an hour just trying to find them but to no avail.

I regularly see the seude blue 32 Ford with the number plates starting with "TEX" in the photos posted by SRV negotiating Sydney peak hour traffic on Warringah Rd - Roseville Bridge - Eastern Valley Way.
Pretty cool ride to get to work in...
So smooth

Cool humpy
