I'll be in for either, just need about a month to get my shizzle together, new exhaust, manifold and T/B... then a slight re-tune..(please Paul :-) )

by **nath** » May 22nd, 2010, 9:31 pm

Im keen to make the drive down, another bloke from up this way who is also on the forums is considering it, so if hes up for it, we will do the 6 hour drive down ;-)

Maybe we should start now to do it .

by **EBOOST** » June 1st, 2010, 12:11 pm

i could get my brothers and a few mates if that helps?
cheers josh.

by **BROCKYB8** » June 1st, 2010, 12:52 pm

I could get frineds but most of them drive holdens 300c and jap cars.

it would be good to see more FORDS! Shame on the rest of you guys who isnt on the list!!! will give it another week or so an see how we go with numbers..

by **HomeBuiltEL** » June 1st, 2010, 10:30 pm

Wel if u dont mind i can ask some of the ford boys from geelong and get some more numbers for the blue team.

by **NL_CONCORDE** » June 1st, 2010, 10:38 pm

Hmmm still unsure if its worth taking the lane but it would be heathcote as bob is chargin twice as much
probably stage up for the camera man

No worries. I think i can get three or four boys in some cool fords. They would prefer Heathcote.

by **misk** » June 4th, 2010, 12:37 pm

it could be cool to get say some VLs, R31s and falcons together, although not ideal in terms of having a semi private get together, that might be something to consider for the future.
i know the R31 guys would be keen, and the VL guys would be just as keen.
i know a few from both sides so could help get numbers together.

by **pHaT`eL** » June 5th, 2010, 1:51 pm

I think John was talking to one of the R31 guys not long ago. We should have another day against them. I was only a spectator last time, but could be fun? Or as said before, run against/with another Ford club? ORSM, XFalcon, Britek, Fords Down Under?

by **Hiboost** » June 11th, 2010, 8:22 pm

Hiboost wrote:how does 7th of August 2010 @ calder sound guys?

I'm down for that, and if it's def gonna be at Calder I can call Ian up and organise some garages, and probably some classes for the beginners if they're nervous about racing for the first time.

by **Michael (HYPOEB)** » June 12th, 2010, 12:16 pm
