well, i mentioned setting up a mad rush build jamming a twin turbo 440 into my problem child aspen for a drag and drive event over here in aus, we made it..
what a fecking week, an emotional event this year to sort the men from the trailer queens, we've had snapped alternator studs, heat soak, boiling fuel and pressure issues, overheating, keeping hotel patrons awake by hacking holes in a bonnet at 11:30 at night, the wrong converter not giving us anything till after the 60 foot mark, thrown belts and cooked batteries on a car thrown together in 5 weeks (2 of which I was away at work)
but that was nothing compared to the blown diffs, gearboxes, engines changed in the pits so someone can make their pass and stay in, dry nitrous kits getting fitted in the dark, cam changes overnight and all sorts of overtired alcohol infused shenanigans that the cameras can't show.
made lots of new mates, everyone had help offered from everywhere, and the announcement it's on again for next year has us keen to go again..
for angus to come 3rd in young guns and then collecting the Harry's hero trophy for being a dickhead has made a great week epic.. extatic
thought you'd appreciate, a few videos on youtube covering the event also below;
