If the Commodore's not ready, I think I have sufficient leverage to hi-jack the UC again.

Hey all
I'm pretty sure i'll be there in my LX SS (Small Block Chev)
Car's not ready at the moment, but new clutch should be in next week, so should my new cold air box, new tyres and hopefully have time to wack it on the dyno the week before it's on.
My brother Ben should also be coming, entering in his BA XR8 Ute
Any chance someone can add us to the list?
Can't wait
Timbo

I now should be getting my UC the weekend before the drags. Whether I can get it ready to race in a week looks very unlikely. My lift hasn't put their name on the list yet...

43 cars last year from memory!

The more the merrier, there were times that we had run out of cars last year, So if we could get around the magic 50 car mark then it would be great!

Cheers!
