Now that
a. We have quite a few historic regoed cars in SDC, and
b. My historic 1600 wagon has a clutch that works

I was wondering who might be interested in taking their historic regoed Datto for a run down WSID on a Wed night?

Strap yourselves in and see who can break into the elusive sub-20 second zone  

Maybe we could have prizes for most consistent performer, best burnout, lowest reaction time etc?

Any takers????

If enough interest I will start a topic in the Events section


UPDATE - Based on feedback in this thread, the date will be Wed 29 Sept 2010.

IMPORTANT - Make sure you wear long sleeves/pants, shoes and have a standards approved helmet. If unsure see details on WSID event page HERE

Hmmm.... should I take the truck or the Cedric

I know the Cedric can do a "burnout".. I haven't tried the truck yet

[DA75IN]

Blahahahahahaahah graeme why not take both!!! :-) it will better your chances !!!

[Max]

Nearly everyone with a historic car in SDC should take 2. Just incase you need a spare 1 to try and get home.   ahahahahaha

I'd be interested in giving the 1600 a run. With sick parents, sick kids, holidays and tavelling for work I haven't even started it since Bathurst at Easter

What time do these things start and finish ?

[dat14u]

Why not incorporate that into a general SDC meet.
How long has it been since a properly organised event at WSID was held???
Reunite the old SR vs FJ and open the L vs A war...

I'll be in for running my 180b on that date. Good incentive to have it running sweet and keen to get a better time.
