Just a reminder guys that the All Performance Challenge @ Heathcote is on this Saturday (12th Nov). Its one of the biggest events on the calendar for Heathcote Raceway and is "well worth a look" (hehe). Capitano Top Fuel Racing team will be there and put there car down the strip a few times (all going well ofcourse...)

Looks like a great day. Good to see an event of this calibre at Heathcote.

Unfortunately I wont be able to make it as im best mans in a mates wedding and they are also using my car. So if I didnt turn up I would probably be shot.
Otherwise I would have been there.

Melz you know you want to go the drags just go to the swap meet early!

haha... the problem is it will be a 4am start for me if i go to the swap. My old man is obssessed with going to these things early. I'll be tired as by 4pm in the arvo!!!

Sudafed and red bull melz, that's what I'll be doing. There's absolutely no point going to a swap meet late, you're only left to rifle through the junk the early birds didn't buy

Well what can I say except YOU GUYS MISSED OUT ON SOME AWESOME RACING!!!!! I had an absolute ball (at both the swap and the drags

) Got to meet some great people at the same time. Pity i was soo tired i ended up leaving before the finals :(.

The crash and bash took a bit to get going but in the end it was between a nissan blue bird, an xf falcon & an old valiant all bogged in the middle of the ground and throwing stuff out of their cars at each other!!!

The drags saw some upsets with Capitano throwing a belt during his burnout. One day he will get down that track. Saw a couple awesome doorslammers/supercharged out law cars. And of course some really neat Fords getting ready for the PFM drags next weekend. A couple of my favs were the XA coupe and XC sedan (of course i'm not biased!!!) And a great array of cortinas, capris & an escort!! Its great to see that not only do these cars pull great times but look fantastic also!!!

capitanos forgot to but the throttle stop on and over reved it in the burnout and blow it into pieces.
