  1. He wants to do like 11 sec 1/4 mile times it sounds like, I don't really know how far / short / quick the 1/8 mile strip is so for 7 - 8 secs I guess it would be about 2/3rds the distance of 1/4 mile.  I'm guessing roughly 0 - 60 in about 5 or 6 seconds.  3 - 5K to spend for that could go any number of a 1000 different ways.

    1/8 is exactly half of a 1/4 mile, but based on an 8 second 1/8 mile with a terminal speed of 85 miles, your looking at roughly a 12 second 1/4.

  2. Okay. So I'll swing by the shore (with a towel of course) and pick up Dave. Then we'll swing by Nunya's house and make one heck of a road trip. Now, who's truck are we going to use to pull the rope?

    We could rig up some sort of air cannon, save the gas money for beer and bandages

  3. I work in marketing & design for a company that manufactures seats for the fast ferry industry, if you ever travel via ferry in the US, there is a fair chance your sitting on our seats.

     

    First job was a pin monkey for AMF, crappy work, but I enjoyed it. Also got 3 free games every day, so my bowling improved quite a bit over the years.

  4. Started with a 500 dollar Mazda 1300 2 door sedan, which I drove until the body had rotted away to the point it wasn't safe anymore

     

    Bought a 350 dollar Mazda 1300 4 door, pulled the heart out of the 2 door and transplanted it and it ran for another 2 years while the 4 door fell apart

     

    Next was a 83 Subaru 4x4 wagon

     

    Then went to my 93 5L Ford Fairmont

     

    Then a 92 Nissan Pintara Wagon

     

    Then my scuby, damn that thing was obnoxious, used to set off car alarms when I fired it up

    After that I bought my hippo, I miss the old girl, but she went to a good home, this was the last time she was driven in anger by me

    Now I have my 06 XR6 Falcon, love this car, very easy to drive and after the Terry, it goes like a rocket when needed, I no longer have to plan when I am going to overtake, I just plant the foot and point it where I need to be

    I wish I could have kept the Terry, I have promised the kids we will have another 4wd, but am thinking maybe a Y61 patrol instead, when the time comes.

  5. Guys, just so you know. There is a chance that access to the track may not be available, I will be calling the Dwellingup Visitors centre in the morning to confirm if we can get in, if not we will have to re-schedule.

  6. Sorry guys, havent been on for a few days, 14th is still on, meet up at the Ravenswood hotel at 8:30am, if you can't make it there, can meet at Dwellingup Tourist centre carpark at 9:30 (good spot to stop, last place for kids to go to the loo without having to find a tree). Its not a difficult track, but I havent tried it at this time of year, so I'm not sure what to expect. Can call me on 0433 372 497 if you want to confirm anything.

  7. Can we change it to the week after? So will be the 14th instead.

     

    Im hoping to get on the track around 10, its not a long track, but I think the first section will take a fair while given the amount of rain we have had. I have to drop my kids off at 4pm at Settlers Roadhouse, the track comes out near Harvey.
