I haven't watched it, probably won't either. It'll be just that round. From what I have heard of the the TV coverage, it's meant to be very good.
Will be funny car after funny car after funny car......  :D ( might have to find the time to watch it  ;D )

I started laughing when I read 350/350 10 bolt, and was thinking what let go? Bottom end, box or axle?
Then I read gas and tyres ; D
All of the above at once then? And a convertor and hemisphere?

You're not the first person to say that either.  ;D

Went from a 10 bolt to fully floating crown wheel in the flick of a switch.

I see a crew member has been run over already.

Always someone who's a bit slow on their feet.

Saw this pic on Facebook the other day. Interesting.........

But on a better note, I acquired an engine for a future race bike project the other day  ;D
1200 Sporty, on the lookout for mechanical injection now, then build a bike around it  ;D

A few mates and I are going to the Benaraby All Bikes drags on 6th August (QLD, just a little northwest of Gladstone), with Mason Rack Band playing... biggest all bike drag meet in Oz, should be a great day/night. Still figuring out our overnight accommodation details so any local knowledge is welcome.

The more the merrier :)

Squalo,

Jillsy and I are going.  We will be staying at the track, so lookout for the BaseStation mobbed by Harley's.

Benaraby does have a Motel or Tannum Sands is another close option if your not keen to stay at the track.

Interesting looking setup. Looks fun!

Not sure if you have mentioned it earlier but what's the details of your bike and what times do you run?

The other half of our unruly mob (the bike boys) are coming up for this event again. I'll be at work  :'(

Great bunch of guys, just take a spare liver with you if catch up with them for a beer.  ;D
