Even if I could get in one run without it breaking that's an expensive run. If it did break then it's more money down the drain. I'd rather buy maccas and a six pack.

Noticed it slow cruising through marion car park on the cruise the other night. Save ya money and ya car. There will be a few more street meets this year. Definitely keen to take Black Betty out to the drags soon. See how she would run now she's at 315. Needs a new set of rubber first though. Might struggle to the 60ft but I'm keen to give it go that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just pick up a second hand unit from the wreckers (or buy a new one) so I can participate in the cruise. I think that having the polylast bushes, 255 wide 120 tread wear semi slicks that hooked mostly and a full power, aggressive 1st to 2nd change is what farked it. There was no noise after the bush install for about a month or so and after that has become progressively worse. I've recently changed the tune to save the box but it appears I was too late for the axle/s. My ford mods are like shampoo, it won't happen overnight but it will happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No stranger to racing. Raced motocross for year's. Just not cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only been once but I'm aiming to attend every drag day this year bar one or two. I just read the rules, showed up with $100 (after finding no eftpos), an in date helmet and long pants and sleeves. Here's the website. Even if I can't race I'll come down anyway if you're bringing your car down. That way I can bring the family down too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
