You can tell its NSW. Not a narrowed beam in sight ...
Except in the buses.

I got there late..
Good to see Dave Becker, Issac in the Pizza delivery van and Matt Berry doing low 13's in luft cooled bugs that could be driven home.

What's the deal with the engine in the psuedo split beside it?

Thanks for the great photos mate...
It felt like there wasn't as many aircooled cars out.. Too many super poo's and wasser coolers.
I got some good go pro footage of me vs Matt berry and his 2007cc whooping my 2276...

Sorry, I can't remember the numbers for specific cars. But the best I saw were 9.5's. That was early on, too. So most likely better times later in the day.

That thing...was insane. It was't racing that day, but they kicked it over and it was insanely loud. I can't remember the specs (I suck), but I remember Steve Muller standing there and just saying "Holy crap...that thing is just mental."
I'll try and find out what it was and get back to you.

Yeah, I didn't take any photos of the wasser cooled. The luft cooled were way more interesting.
But yeah, Matt's EAT-356 is really smooth and quick. It was really fun watching that race.

I'll post a couple under my thread. Just reducing the quality.

Here's a really crap video I also made with some footage I had.
I've never made a video before, let alone edit it all together. I had no idea what I was doing. Turned out pretty average and unfortunately I rendered all the clips in medium quality.
Anyway, enjoy. Don't worry, I won't be quitting my day job.
