I'll be at the roadshow with bells on taking both my sons 7 & 3 year olds who love cars so it should be a good few hours of 'hey dad, whoah, awesome, daddy look at that, daddy where's the NOS?' etc lol :w00t:

Well from what ive heard the track was fucking KILLER today at the test & tune, and one of the standouts was Joe Signorelli rattling off a 6.52 @ 216mph from his 2JZ celica then backing up for a 6.6.

Can't wait till next weekend!!!!

Got there right on 11am and had quite a few good chats with some guys in the drag scene and asking questions about their setups. Man, those dudes have some BIG BALLS! Was interesting speaking one guy in regard to one of the Read's Auto1 alcy dragster making 8000hp. Learned a few things I never knew before - ie like a timer for the clutch discs in the transmission that the guy switches on just before a run and they work on their own digging in further and further on a timer as the car increases torque down the strip... freaky shit :thumbsup:
