The NITRO! Nostalgia Drags returns to Sydney Dragway on Sunday 21st November 2010, and we are looking forward to having a really great day and catching up with all the Nostalgia Racers and fans.
There will be all the regular Nostalgia brackets PLUS following the successful debut of the Return of the Wild Bunch at Willowbank in August, the second round of the Queensland vs. New South Wales Wild Bunch competition is set to take Sydney by storm!
For the first time in Australia there will be a four Car Chicago Shoot Out with Three Nitro Burning FEDs and the debut of Graeme Cowin's Nitro Express '57 Chevy Fuel Burning Funny Car!!!
Once again Rocket Industries are having their hugely popular ‘Open Day’ on the Saturday before (20th) with DJs and autograph opportunities from the past and present legends of the sport.
This will be the perfect lead up to what is going to a milestone in Nostalgia Drag Racing and a rare opportunity to get a close up look at the Cackle Cars!

No helium required Mr Smith, just a decent stock small block Chevrolet :) Full interior will be in the car. 90/10's will be in & sway bar will be off. All up about 2hrs work.

What a great day it was today. The weather was real nice & there was heaps of cars to look at & to top it off for me I ran three personal best times.
For me I ended up getting only three runs in as I got eliminated on the first elimination was heaps of fun though. I got eliminated by a mate from Canberra who I eliminated last Nostalgia's. My last run was the slowest but it was the most fun. It is awesome fun having a slower car take off first & have to chase them down. I was real happy about running three personal best's & all real close to each other.
First run -
1.622 60 footer.
11.381 sec.
118.76mph.
Second run -
1.621 60 footer.
11.369 sec.
118.71mph.
Third run -
1.631 60 footer.
11.387 sec.
117.90mph.
Will post up a couple of vid's when I get them onto youtube.

Yes...Congrats Scott!!
She is moving!

Great video CPU some class cars there.
-
Same here eliminated first round the car was not running right or consistant with ignition and timing gemlins so it was down on mph and et only positive was my reation times .080, .036, .007. But it was a great day plenty to see a lot of people there and some great racing. I'll be there again for the next one.

Hi Alan
I seen you but by the time I finished gas bagging You were gone, Good to see you had a good day.
Luvhev
-
Could be a lot of people at the next one.
I think the next Judgement Day...Day of the Drags will be a better option.
Private track day...pretty much as many runs as you want.
Can do test and tune during the day.
or do both!!

I had the camera mounted in the car but during the burnout's the camera shook & scrambled it's brain & it shut off both times.
It's a great social day out there, the amount of people that you run into & with the amount of cars there it has a great atmosphere. I will be definately entering the next one too.
65Muzzy - It was a very close race, only a couple of hundred's in it - thanks.

AWESOME!!!!!!:shades:

Guess who has got himself some new video editing software :zip:
This video is a result of one of the automatic rendering settings. It's a bit busy but I think after tweaking, it could be promising.
PS
Yep, you guessed it. I'm still bored. :bolt:
