    anything that doesn't require a flatbed, is a good time.

    I am guessing to run quick 8. Time, I don't know...low 10's are likely.

    Damn thats crazy how many trannies and now axles youve gone thru. But i guess when your putting down so much power to all 4 tires. How much horsepower is your Eclipse?? I'll be there too in my hatch with the rest of the crew.

    13 race trannies, 7th set of front axles.

    HP --> PLENTY to break stuff.

    I look forward to seeing everyone there!

    Are you talking about the 35R'd SRT? If so, then Hell yeah! - if you are talking about the Goat, you can do that also; you just cannot compete in the class competitions -- you would only be able to do fun-runs.

    The day is for sporty compacts (import or domestic), vintage compacts (VW, Toyota starlets and corollas, Mazda RX-2/3/4/7's, etc), and import sports cars in $$$ competition.

    There are still plenty of corvettes, porsches, mustangs, etc that stop on by, but most of those car owners don't like being seen in the same area as rice.

    Maybe if you put a holden badge on it, and changed the wheel over to the right, they would let you in as an import sports car.

    Either way, stop on down!

    Yep, they would probably let the Kangaroo race if it was still branded Holden.

    So how did everyone do?

    I qualified #1, but ended up losing in the 1st round eliminations to a guy in a dodge shadow turbo that really hit his dial in time by running 11.63 on a 11.60 dial.

    Other than that; I was having traction issues all night and was only doing 10.4's to 10.6's. I did pull some 139mph traps though.

    My 60' were 1.5 to 1.6 all night, but I was wheelspinning hard in 1st and into 2nd.

    Oh well, better luck next time.
