| After talking to a few Soarer owners yesterday it was suggested that I organize a night out to the drags. I am keen to go again and so is Grant, Lew wants some time to get some wheels and tyres for that pocket rocket he calls a van, and after checking the calender for Willowbank, I have chosen Sat 27th FEB This should be plenty of notice for those that are wanting to give their cars a run, and those that want to spectate. COSTS $40 to run and that gets one passenger in with you. $20 for spectators There is food available at the track. To run you will need an approved safety helmet long sleeves enclosed footwear. Gates open at 4PM and racing starts at 4.30 the number of runs you get will depend on overall cars there on the night. If there are enough numbers we can arrange a meet point for the Brissy mob and any one from the Gold Coast will have to arrange something for themselves. 1.Paul Drane. |

| You are probably right Justin, I'll just have to keep bumping it to keep people aware that there is something happening in Brissy. |

| I reckon its safe to say ill head out for a look see.... not really interested in trying to run the GT down the track. FWD is not really worth it, i need corners for my GT to show its true colours haha |

| I got the Tial V44 wastegate installed yesterday. The surging that I was getting has gone! But It’s back to the exhaust shop this morning as I want to get the screamer plumbed back in. The last time I was at Lake Side I was warned that my car was too loud. As they have a 95db noise limit imposed on them. I am doing a driver training day at Mt Cotton on Feb the 21st and they have the same noise limit. |

| Tim, I have a 6 from the ALSC, 3 are hopefuls and will know closer to the date, 2 from here, couple of us are already counted, a possible 2 others from outside the forums. So that is a possible 10 cars, more would be better, Tim, would you mind posting something up on CB and see if some of the Soarer owners there would be interested, would like to keep a Soarer orientated night, if possible. Thanks mate. Did you get your car going, sort out your problem? |

HOLY CRAP ! You have been a busy little bee havent you Bobby!? I dare say you would require some decent slicks and a solid 2nd gear burnout to put a decent 11 down the 400m |

| Just got a Text from Lew about this. Although I no longer have the Soarer, ill bring my EVO out for a spin. It wont be as quick as the soarer was, but it'll be interested to see what it does before the serious mods start on it. Will also be good to see some old faces again. |

| Scratch me. Got defected today - car too low, no mod-plate for single turbo and a bonus court appearance for the offense of "driving an illegally modified vehicle". Gonna take some time to get this all cleared, so I hope I'll be able to make an appearance at a later meet. |
