ARC Forum Battle Aftermath

by **pHaT`eL** » March 6th, 2012, 8:35 pm

Just a recap on the ARC Forum Battle that happened over the weekend.

For different reasons, 3 out of 4 entrants from BoostedFalcon had to withdraw from the event, so it was left to Damo (SLO4LT) to fly the BoostedFalcon flag high! (Complete with fresh turbo setup)

And fly high he did, taking home the award for "Best Australian Car" at the event.

His win put us in 6th position overall for the event.

Forum Points
SAU 226
OpelAus 58
Gripshift slide 52
MelbS15 40
Fullboost 40
Boosted Falcon 34
Supra 24
Ozmps 10
JDMST 10
MR2 Australia 10
Mighty Car Mods 10

Hopefully they run it again next year.
1st year will always be hit and miss, but given more time to prep i reckon there would be more interest next time.
SAU dominated!

Wasn't there like 6 months to prepare for this one?

Good job at 6th place damo.

There was 2 months from when it was announced until you had to be entered. And one of those was the xmas period where its impossible to get anything done by a workshop.

Along with delays in finding out details about licence requirements/supp regs etc.

maybe they can try again at heathcote or Calder pulls their finger out and adapt the heathcote and all other dragway rules!

by **Ef_frmnt** » March 7th, 2012, 12:25 pm

one car and we came 6th..? thats a pretty good result.

why didnt you take your 483.5 gigawatts iCER?

by **apoc** » March 7th, 2012, 1:53 pm

Great work damo! Pity they didn't put a pic on the write up

Pretty decent result for the first time, and that only 1 car entered!

by **iCER** » March 7th, 2012, 1:55 pm

Doesn't matter what location they run it at.
It is under the Cams rules, not the track's rules.

Thanks peeps! I do try to impress and compete!

Hopefully there are a lot more who come next year if it happens!
Considering it was the first event, it wasn't too shabby, will be looking forward to a better organized and more populated event next year!
:drinks2:

mr.cve is the 10.99 a cams rules or a calder rule? As the rules for the 1/4mile were stated they were to follow the calder park rule list.

by **Mr. CVE** » March 8th, 2012, 5:46 am

I don't know.

by **AaronEF8** » March 10th, 2012, 10:48 am

You still wouldn't have entered icer. CAMS have nothing to do with drag racing directly, that's all done by ANDRA.
Congrats again Damo, car looks very slick in the photos as always.

coming 6th with just one car in the show and shine means a lot of people must have voted for Damo's display.
They're looking to have another Forum Battle in Sydney later this year, as well as one at Calder next year.

fucken well done man.
Shame this event wasn't in WA, we would have gone hard!

What events did u do Damo?
Any pics/vids?

Hopefully they run it for you guys next year and more people enter. Show them what the humble e-series can do.

by **bentls** » March 21st, 2012, 7:51 pm
