yea the last time the Casterton drags were on was about two years ago around this time. It was just delayed because it didn't reach standards for insurance or something stupid like that. but fair enough tho.

Congrats to Tregs For his first run ever of 8.4, Shame ya engine went bang.. xagsjoe i remember i took a video of your car :P Thought it was a nice looking xr8, didnt know you were on the forums!
Yeah (lee) Tregs had a bad start on that run and had to back off half way due to the whole 'bang' and all. But went good on the others. Found out what was wrong with it yet? |

The car ran 10.83@66.4 1st lap then 11.06 same speed 2nd run then 11.24 last run in practice. The bye due too tregs misfortune (Hope you get her goin shortly mate) ran 10.83 on a 10.8 dial in and Broke out on the next run at 10.67 on a 10.85 dial in. Dunno what made it so much quicker on the last run but that was on the brakes also but either way I had a blast. Dunno bout the kids bluing during the burnout comp though. Almost ruined A great day. |

Yeah yeah they did have a small blue actually! Yeah i have seen them alot around town, suprised they went so bad in the burnout comp, they seem to have enough practice round town Yeah i figured it was pretty stock! Couldnt hear a thing! But that can always be fixed! I would of loved to go in it but the whole 'minimum age 18 thing' and im only 17... But yes hopefully next year i will have a shot! (if its on...) |

What sort of motor / car and what mods do you have done .
10.5 is a great time ... AND you backed off 1/2 track. What where you hoping to run ?
