There's to many telegraph poles and trees to screw ya. Listen to me, i think this means i'm slowly turning in to an old fart... i said slowly

same - actually my very first drag race led to me almost writing off my car. Felt like a COMPLETE knob Most embarrassing thing i've done in a car - thinking about it now i feel like a twit...

The biggest problem with Calder is the owner, I've been to a few events there & as soon as one becomes popular the $$$ rise for hire of the place. No money goes into the track at all.
I heard the place is actually sold to housing developers yet the deal no development until Bob says he's finished with the place.
Is this rumour or truth? anybody know ???????

However Heathcote is coming along leaps & bounds.

Oops, he won't do that again!

we always have illegal car drag racing here in our place. sometimes we get on motor drag racing... still illegal.

My friends always get motorcycle accidents due to these illegal drag racing sessions at night. I personally haven't tried any of those but i love to watch them getting on it though... :)

i'm sorry but i smell bull****. 'pretty wild' haha

and speed cameras never had limits to what speeds they can be used at.i worked in that industry 15 years ago.

and myth busters still prove it today

myth busted i say

so youve never seen a sprintcar engine then?
they are a fairly mild engine compared too what you can do too them and they produce over 800 at the wheels. what about a nascar engine? 383 sbc 900+ hp 9000+ rpm's and they run on 108 octane? ( the yanks version of it anyways LOL)

so explain why no one ever recieved a ticket from the camera on the f3 just before the wyong exit where that big flower joint is?

and yes i saw that epsiode of mythbusters ages ago and yep they proved it with a hand held camera but that is a fixed point camera and it was a very well known fact that you could go thru that at over 200 clicks and yes it would go off but never recieved a ticket in the mail.

a nascar and sprint car (depending on class) are completely different to a 400 chev. and wont come close to the power you are talking.

i know this becaue my own engine is:
bowtie block 406ci
oliver crank and rods
cp pistons 12:1 comp
solid roller
bowtie heads
jesel belt drive
1050 dominator etc.

and on the real dyno with genuine numbers makes 620hp and cost 35k to build with todays tech. which is probably 400rwhp.

so, to prove me wrong i'm sure you have some pics and some time slips etc of your 1000hp+ 400ci chev

please show your FACTS

mate if your engine is only producing 620 hp for 35k youve spent your money in the wrong places.

**** my twin turbo 383 has cost me a hell of a lot less than that and it is rated too over 1200 hp. and yes ill post pics of it shortly. hasnt been dynoed yet as still waiting for my diff arrive.

as per nascar and sprintcar engines your trying too say that a sprintcar 400 small block or the nascar busch series 400 small block are different too the 400 anyone else can buy? at the most they use a dart block that still run the same specs. but your also saying that a sprintcar engine doesnt produce 800+ hp? think you better look into it more because the guys that run in the word series sprintcars here in aus produce that if not more. go over too the states where there running the 427 small blocks and those things are off tap.
yer the sprintcars run on methanol but power is still power.

with the nascars again look into it more because where ever you get your facts from there all wrong. you think that less than 600hp can achieve speeds in excess of 200 mph on a short track then your mistaken majorly.


but what would i know ive only been building engines for close onto 15 years. and importing engines,stroker kits,turbo's and related parts for the last 3 years. and yes i have worked in places where we built sprintcar engines. **** when i was working in that part of the industry they were still restriced too 388 cubes and they were still producing well in excess of 800 hp.

ok, first thing is that rwhp and fly wheel hp are 2 different things. so pick one.

my engine is built for a circuit car. outright power is not needed.something that will hold together with QUALITY parts is.

so to clear this up, what year did your so called 700 RWHP 400ci excist? and it was out of a sprint car?yes? what was the rest of the drivetrain?and pictures? sorry but this is the internet we need proof or are ya just pulling ya pood?

and for the record,i have built a $5000 355 that runs 10's and made a genuine 500hp.(126mph)

so, proof please.

it's pretty quiet out here in the sticks used to do it a bit for a while but had a few close calls and it scares the **** out of the missus so i try to stay to the shows and the strip when i can as i have only ever been done for undue noise and defects
