by **-jjM-** » September 4th, 2007, 6:26 pm

its like on the way to Phillip island, if its a good track, beats the hell out of going to Calder Park

they should just take over Moorabbin airport, **** the kents lol

by **misscarcrazy** » September 4th, 2007, 6:37 pm

I will be there 2 ... We need something local........

by **EFFalcon** » September 4th, 2007, 7:11 pm

a fair few people look to be going down.
Tooradin Air strip is 1km long, long enough for a 400m drag strip.
All the discussion i've heard in the past has said it is going to be a 1/8mile, but i guess we'll see.
if i can get back from work in time i'll be heading down.

by **Damo** » September 4th, 2007, 7:45 pm

so it's about an hour from this area ? Is anyone from here going to go have a look ?

by **Thanatos** » September 4th, 2007, 8:52 pm

Just make sure you stop before the end of the strip, unlike my uncle (who is good friends with Glen, the owner of the airfield) who did $80,000 worth of damage to his BMW 7 series after a drunken attempt at seeing how fast he could go down the airfield runway!

I might come down for a look-see, if I'm free...

by **Damo** » September 4th, 2007, 9:40 pm

by **Damo** » September 4th, 2007, 9:48 pm

I can't imagine that happening, although I should find out if he's going to be there, he's got an AC Shelby Cobra replica with an AU V8 putting out around 300rwkw, so it'd be nice to see what it runs.

ROFL. Don't hold back Damo

by **LTDHO** » September 5th, 2007, 7:56 am

Apparently they will open it as a 1/8 first and if it becomes popular enough, it will go to 1/4.

Other advantages are the location, although it may seem a pain in the middle of know where, this will actually be better with noise restrictions, etc.

by **EFFalcon** » September 5th, 2007, 8:29 am

middle of nowhere, its only about 20mins away from us

As John does!!

I didn't know of it but is that the servo of thompsons Rd and WesternPort Hwy?

How about meeting at the Great Southern Home centre on Thompson Rd and South Gippsland Hwy, this is where the meet was for the phillip island criuse.

by **fordbaby** » September 5th, 2007, 10:27 am

yeah i think thats where john meant. im sure he will correct me when he sees this

by **Gunns** » September 5th, 2007, 10:59 am

by **Thanatos** » September 5th, 2007, 2:08 pm

I'll be going, is there definitely going to be a meet up before hand?? If so, at the BP or at the Home Centre??

by **-jjM-** » September 5th, 2007, 10:13 pm

well we went, was prity crazy for just a class room lecture

i thought i was going to see smoke, basicly was just some guy without a microphone yelling over 1000+ bogans, didnt hear a word of it, besdies "making a club", "it costs $5000 to hire out sandown" and "im a ford man"

na the things he did say were informative, good to know and good to know someone is trying to make something this side of town, hopefully something can be arranged

basicly he said meet back there same time next week

by **Damo** » September 5th, 2007, 10:52 pm

he didn't have a mic ? lol

Skid pics ?

by **-jjM-** » September 5th, 2007, 10:55 pm

nothing, some old lady tryed saying something and she just got shit put on her for having a low voice, as you shoud, he wasnt expecting these numbers, stage fright but he was onstage already

there was just BAs dosing and on VN ripped it up leaving, no one did anything accept the one guy that turn right into oncoming traffic

by **LTDHO** » September 6th, 2007, 7:22 am

Thanks for the update Joe.

Hopefully it goes through.

LOL @ tosser who drove the wrong way!

by **Eb Barbie** » September 6th, 2007, 8:53 am

Yeah was a pretty big turn out. I couldnt believe how many were there. 1000s people standing outside listening to a few people screaming their lungs out to be heard over everyone. I heard about as much as Joe. Hopefully something comes out of it, I think they were quite suprised at the number of people that showed up

by **fordbaby** » September 6th, 2007, 9:47 am

yeah ya couldnt here nothing that was been said except a few comments here and there.
lol at beth because she kept talking to p!ss the chick off in front of us and it was working big time. beth you trouble maker

when we ere on our way home from there john said he looked back in his mirror and seen a commodore starting to do a dooey (thats my way of spelling it lol) and then stop to have police busting him, LOOSER

by **pHaT`eL** » September 6th, 2007, 9:50 am

Was that white? Saw cops pulled a white vt over in tooradin. Meh.

hAHA she was getting pissed off at me talking, woopy doo. Maybe its coz I was wearing my ford jacket and she had a holden one on. Lol, I was so up for seeing a punch on!! ( Not with me in it though!)

Think we saw that pulled over. Didnt take the cops long to turn up :roll:

by **fordbaby** » September 6th, 2007, 10:00 am

i dunno what colour it was sorry pete. i wasnt paying attention.

yeah you did keep saying you wanted to see a punch on (hehe but not with you) she could have moved. the only reason everyone would have been talking was because no one could hear nothing

by **LTDHO** » September 6th, 2007, 10:26 am

Is it worth setting up an official cruise/meet for next week?

by **fordbaby** » September 6th, 2007, 10:42 am

people did meet up and go there together, there were maybe 10 or so cars that meet up and went down.

so why didnt you go wayne? ppl thought you would have been there because you were talking about it so ppl just assumed you would be there

by **pHaT`eL** » September 6th, 2007, 10:43 am

I reckon it is. Next week they will hav a petition to sign and pretty sure he said that once the petition is done, we will cruise to Sandown on a weekend, set up in the carpark and see what happens.
Ideally they want to run at Sandown. Sandown management said no one wants the drags there, this is to prove thats not the case.

by **Damo** » September 6th, 2007, 10:48 am
