Mazda 323/3 vs Toyota Corolla Drag re-match

[Azza]

Greg,

If we are meeting at Aspley, then heading Ipswich Road.... then I dare say the best way for us is Gympie Road then ICB onto the freeway then off at Sth Brisbane then Ipswich road.

We are probably best meeting on the side of the road say at Beurepairs or Bridgestone whatever it is at Windsor there just before you turn onto the ICB heading inbound.....

hmmmm

or we could skip the ICb and jsut go over the story bridge and straight down ipswich rd

edit: since we are heading down ipswich rd, we might have to meet ash somewhere around marooka

It hasn't rained here in Murrumba Downs since 10:00am

[LordWorm]

Well, if they had of held off a little longer it would have been perfect.

someone at willowbank was a little trigger happy on the cancel button i think :(

5th of Aug = next TNT...

Organise it here or open a new thread?

[Azza]

It's 4:52pm and there still hasn't been any rain here

[LordWorm]

Looked like it woulda been an alright day for racing afterall.. cloud cover woulda kept the humidity up, and the temps...well...just go stand outside for a second!!!

Trigger happy on the calling it off! Annoying - but I guess they have saftey to be concerned about, and alot of money on track prep for it to bucket down rain half way through the night wouldnt be good for them i spose.

Oh wells, theres always next time. More time to get the mods on everyones cars, more impressive drops in PBs....We've got a pile of people midway through mods, as I'm sure you guys do.... get them all in and going, and we'll have a much better day of racing next time out =)

Maybe a month later suites the sydney siders a bit better too???????????

Any Mazda 3 MPSs representing Mazda? :D :P Wheels recently tested it in "unfavourable conditions" and got a 6.6s 0-100km/h and 14.6s 0-400m time.. i also believe that is with 2 people which is what Wheels does? anyway would be good to see what it can do down the 1/4mile, although its strength is really in in- gear acceleration.

:D yeh doesn't look too flash but trust me it can go quicker than that, Wheels always have slower times due to them having one more or is it 2 more people in the car. They apparently also encountered some problems and had to do 7 consequtive runs in 10minutes which is obviously not good, if they had more time they could let the car cool down a little more between runs. ;)

[MR22ZZ]
