Title: Re: Nostalgia Drags on April 15th Post by: customFC on March 06, 2007, 01:12:54 PM Miss Behavin will be there. Racing of course.
Entry forms are not available at this point, but should be out very soon. Jonesy. Are you thinking about racing, or displaying? Regards Alex Title: Re: Nostalgia Drags on April 15th Post by: craiga on March 06, 2007, 06:34:41 PM I'll be there, entered in the XU1.
I've been watching for the entry forms as well, but haven't seen them as yet. Are they usually this late Alex? Cheers, Craig. Title: Re: Nostalgia Drags on April 15th Post by: customFC on March 07, 2007, 06:24:51 AM Hey Craig.
It depends on the schedule. It would seem that they don't usually send out the forms until the previous event has taken place. Regards Alex Title: Re: Nostalgia Drags on April 15th Post by: craiga on March 07, 2007, 07:59:44 AM Thanks Alex, have organised to receive newsletter updates so will watch for the release.

I missed most of this because I was entered and spent a fair bit of time in the staging line or way down in the pits. How good was the car show? Lots of variety. My best was a 14.3 with no traction in first and second. Need semi slicks badly. Title: Re: Nostalgia Drags on April 15th Post by: fccool59 on April 17, 2007, 10:24:37 AM you should get a red motor jonesy ;D
here are some pics of my phone, its not a fancy camera kind of phone so the pics arent real perfect, main thing is it holds 100 mp3 files. i cought up with the old owner of my FE i bought when i was 18, alot of its parts are now on the FC, he had this yellow FE back then but he lived in quackers hill, not qld as he does now. this FE had a duggan alloy head then, now it just has a holden head with SU carbs, other than that the car lookd exactly as it was 14 years ago last time i saw it, he said he has had it in storage for ten years. (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/FCCOOL/cars163.jpg) (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/FCCOOL/cars162.jpg) Alex & John were playing around in the pits trying to get it going better (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/FCCOOL/cars147.jpg) this is how it looked by time they finished, they should have left the bar of but, looks like a 55 chev a bit now. (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/FCCOOL/cars151.jpg) A old mate from back in newcastle was there, he has started a business called smithy's kustoms, he was doing stripes and they came down from newcastle in his wifes EK (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/FCCOOL/cars158.jpg) (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/FCCOOL/cars157.jpg) (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/FCCOOL/cars160.jpg) Then there was this ute from koolsville. (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/FCCOOL/cars152.jpg) (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/FCCOOL/cars149.jpg) I meant to get some pics of simon telfords new ej but the phone ran out of room and my camera got flat batterys and the video camera was in the car. it was pretty good out.

The cars computer for my Torana is tuned for a low boost 3psi and I was running on 7.5psi so the fuel to air mixures is wrong. I Give you a run when I get mine properly tuned with diff ratio changed, tricking up my transmission and better rubber for traction. lol lol To everybody that wasn't there I got him on the start. To All that wish to know my time it was 15.1sec. Great Pics Leon. And about the red motor. How much are you spending on yours. My stock as a rock Supercharged Buick V6 3.8L this engine cost me $4500. And with the changes that I will be make I'll race you too. hehe Title: Re: Nostalgia Drags on April 15th Post by: craiga on April 18, 2007, 08:50:19 PM Quote To everybody that wasn't there I got him on the start.
