Reece McGregor (sp?) is racing for the first time since the SI Nats which will be good. EVLTEK, are you racing? Hope the weather stays like it has been for the last few days, its perfect drag racing weather at the moment!

Location: Hamilton | I was thinking about racing but my headgasket is stuffed and there's oil leaking from between the head and the block aswell as the synchro between 3rd and 4th is on the way out so I dont want to go stuffing either of those   Damn white wheels are a bitch! You spend ages cleaning them then go for a quick drive and by the time you get the back they're covered in crap again haha... o well they look wicked when they're all clean. Bummer about the g/f! Tell her you're gonna take her for a nice day out at the viaduct basin in Aucks then just "stop off" on the way and just stay at Meremere until the drags are over then complain that you're tired an want to go home  ... it might work. Dont blame me if it doesnt.

Location: Hamilton | Nope no RX3 there today... hardly any rotors maybe 2. Recee wasnt racing, thats the last time I believe anything I read on the NZPC forums :evil: All in all it was a great day out, lots of Hondas racing, including 3 ITR's, 1 CTR and a ton of other DC's, DA's and EF's. There was one ITR that was so damn sexy, it was white, with c/f hood, no rear spoiler, and white SprintHart wheels... DROOOLL! The winner in the N/A class was (I think) a stock (?) ITR driven by a young girl that was running consistent 14.5's... I cant remember if that was the fastest N/A FWD time of the day though. Another notable Honda was a "torino red pearl" DA6 with Advanti Stilleto's which was quite quick. STR8LN was racing too along with that nice grey EF hatch that was at the Hamilton meet.

Location: Hamilton | That was my grey EF, it was a great day, the weather held off long enough. My best time for the day was a 14.0 @ 161 km/h, on my last run I somehow ended up in neutral at the start line and stuffed up big time :evil: |

Location: Hamilton | Shit I didnt realise anyone ran that quick in N/A FWD today! That must have been one of the quicker times run? Did any cars end up going int he burn out comp? We left as they were calling up the cars for it but no one lined up and it was starting to rain so we left at about 2ish... That little City Turbo was so damn funny! It was pretty rapid for such a small car, I think I saw it do one 16.9ish pass. Oh BTW DavidR funnily enough I passed you this morning, you were heading out of cambridge by the golf course as I was going into cambridge coming from out near karapiro lol.

Location: Auckland | revlimit, what motor do you have in your car? That thing is rapid. I raced you in the 2nd round in the silver primera. Just got new cams in my car and its running 1/2 a second slower than what it was with the stock items |

| i never saw u go silverte ... but in my practice runs i was doing 15.3 cos i couldnt get my ass off the line .. perhaps u need to look at other shit like suspension and tyre pressures .. i had to lower my front tyre pressure then it was heaps better ... good tyres are always a bonus ... but i cant afford so meh

| Yay i had such a good day at the drags today ..Just wish i had of taken my car with me .. I need to get some new tyres before i go on the strip again .. And Tegra you did really well today , We could see you consistantly improving with each run .. And in the end you proved yourself worthy by pulling a nice 14.5 Mean Was woundering if anybody has some spare 14' rims with good rubber on them for sale .. Prefer cheep and only need two rims
