You should take your Boxter out for a run and see what it does, Im happy to come out and show you how it works, I'm sure Kenny'd come out for a geeze as well, could film some grudge action.
Where and When do these nights go down. Would Simon come? Can you nominate who you drag?

Balsy Vs OI
993tt Vs RS4

That would be a cool night. Don't forget the 2 s's from my car.
BoxSter S Not Boxter.

Hehe, Boxer engine, speedster. Got it! One of those habits.

They run every Wednesday nights provided the weather is fine mate. No idea if Simon would have a go, can't speak for him to be honest. I've already run my M3 so wouldn't take it out again to be honest. Kenny and I have done over 20 passes in it between us and the quickest ET I can get out of it is 13.505@103 mph so it doesn't have much more in it.

You can always go out and race the RS4, although I don't see why Sim wouldn't take his out for a blast and see how it goes, I could always bring my E30 or something anyway as I've only had it out once.

Yeah you can nominate who you run if you ask the guy at the end of the pit lanes nicely

Glad to see such nice cars down under, especially given the cost of them in Australia. Ouch!

Yeah I have noticed the difference in price since joining this site. It's a little depressing. That little drive day of ours with 6 cars would hold a current used value of over $800k, with only 2 current models there. Good climate though!

I know you may have gotten your best time out of her but every run is different. Let's make it a one on one night. Time is secondary.Maybe the desire do take me down may give you your best time. Addrenalin is a powerfull weapon. Surely your new steering wheel should give you something. Come play with my little Stock Boxster S. I'm banking on the lump in your throat or a bad start to give me the 0.5 I may need. .

Sure, as I said I've been keen to give my E30 another run. I'll wave at you on the way past after your 0.5 head start then

Big talk from someone who's never even run a pass! ET is king mate everyone knows that

The lights on the street change colour too.Back in the late 80's when you were a wee little boy the runs on the street ruled. Having run in over 40 of them,First past the post, man on man was the test. If 2 cars are closely matched, It's down to the driver to make the difference as any slip up or pressure **** up is just as important as power to weight. Otherwise peoples times on the 1/4 would never change.
Now that's racing.

Cool, well pony up expert and come and show us how its done. I'm not interested in running my M3 again as I've said before, and its slow as **** and boring. Your always welcome to beat my existing ET if that'll give you some satisfaction. Cars have come along way since the 18 second buckets you used to drive in the 80s when I was a wee kid on my BMX

Weather according to the forecast is fine for this coming Wednesday

Get at the gate around 4:30 as they open at 5.

WSID
Competitors: $45

Important Items to bring:
Current Drivers Licence
Rego paper for the vehicle (if the vehicle is not registered to you,
authorisation from owner, and rego papers)
Remember - NO REGO PAPERS NO RACE
Long sleeved shirt and pants
Helmet

See you in the waiting lanes.

No M3 = No Boxster S. We can sort out our SLOW cars at the next lights we pull up at. No Helpmet required. Yes cars have come a long way, this has just made driving easier for the more experienced driver.
