Summernats 18 is GO !!

[ls2v8]

Just wondering if anyone is heading to summernats? It would be great 4 all
users of ls1.com.au if somebody could keep us informed of daily results in
such events as CAPA Performance horsepower heroes, Mobil 1 racing burnout
masters and burnout champs and anything else you see as interesting. If
anyone is willing to do this it would be fantastic for all us poor people who
can not get to Canberra for the nats.

who else thinks this is a good idea?
cheers

Would be great to see the S/C car going hard, but I suspect a TwinTurbo whatzit will be just around the corner waiting to take all :)

On the bright side, for those going look out for a red VYSS at the Harrop stand. 8TB manifold, 18 x 10 3 piece rims, and an impressive dyno sheet !

The rest of my pics at the moment are Fords so I won't bother posting them here! I had a heap more pics, Holdens including PlanB ute but my compact flash card and computer aren't taking at the moment. :bash: I can still view the pics through the LCD display on the camera but they won't download for some reason. :mad:

[Marco]

Some nice rides cruising the streets around the Inner North tonight - went out before and had a bit of a look.

Unfortunately, plenty of rice, and plenty of idiots making life hard for other drivers too.

Huge police presence - speed cameras and defecting in particular, for those coming down.

I'm planning to head along on Sunday - lived here for two years and haven't been yet...

[SLE355]

Any results from the dyno cell or is tomorrow when the comp gets serious?

[Falchoon]

Some more pics! :D

[kaniSS-81]

I just got back from the Nats and I have to say I had the time of my life......

Started of at the dyno room where this nice light blue VL chopped a GTR skyline on the HP ratings.... which made my day... then moved to the burnout finals.

Anyone see that green Hyundai Excell take out the wall? god that was hilarious he took off pretty fast after that..lol....

How good where those 2 pink Ls1's on the pad all day bloody awsome...

Cant wait for the DVD and next year now :)
