Will definitely come down to support the team, but I've never been interested in taking my cars down the 1/4... seems kind of pointless to me with an AWD car...

Happy to come down and watch though!

If you are willing to put your car on a Dyno then you should go to the drags. Way more accuarate gauge for the power of the car.

Not the ET but the MPH

True enough... I have never built my cars for numbers though Shane... Only ever been on a dyno for tuning purposes! ;)

I may be persuaded to come down and give it a crack, just saying its not high on my priority listing!

There is zero chance that the red mist would not come down if I was on the start line Andrew! :D I would not be able to help trying to launch it hard... Image
