So which vee were you in 510racer? I saw you round the pits but didn't realise what you were driving?
So who was it that was pitted near me in the white 1600? Still trying to work out who everybody is sorry!

ok, all making sense now. I thought it looked like 510racer's car from the photos he's put up on here in the past but I knew it wasn't him driving it so it had me confused

That was DatsLTD's pappa next to you as well....
I'm a bit worried, my race prep has been a wash, polish, spanner check and oil change....It's very strange not to be doing more......
Looks like we will get a good DOoT turn out at the clubday with DatsLTD, Buck, 2door and Ol'Blue running...will the brown bomber show all of us a clean pair of heals(tail lights) or will Buck show us how good a bad boy can be??? Can Rob rattle the Escort??

The clubday went well, Bit of a Datsun whitewash, Class A was wrapped up by Buck in the 200B, Bluerat cleaned up B, Class D was won by Jason House in his FJ20 1600 (62's)and class F was won by a 'sort of' Datsun, Jared Houses SR20 Prelude (60's).
Poor old 2door put his back on the trailer with a dodgy ignition and Shep whipped the escort (and Buck) in the Bluebird........
Randal turned up in his new toy, a Group C replica Bluebird fitted with a RB20 turbo...had a few problems with brakes etc, but has PLENTY of potential, and sure looks the part!! I'll post some photos soon. Will this fire up Buck and DatsLTD?? I hope so....
We also had a Z18 powered Stanza, an L20 powered 1200 and a heap of Skylines turn up.
How's the house look'n Booster??

What a boring bunch we are this week......This might fire you up!!! The DOoT resident Nascar driver Buck, Shake'n'Bake Buckley, and his Chev Lumara Datsun No it's not George, It's Randel's new toy, Nice, Nice, Nice!! I'm just off to the shed to weld up my steering box, and hoping it doesn't rain tommorow......

I thought you knew to take your helmut of when getting your photo taken Buck. Hang on thats no helmut. My god man get a hair cut!!!!
I love the bluebird. Has any one seen the Skyline in Penguin done up in the Peter Jackson sponsor colours. Even had personelised plates FURY01 or some thing like that.

He's a bit of a shy boy our Randel, except for his Hawaiian shirts, as he build Holden Race engines for a living!! It's great he's come over to the dark side.......Talking about the dark side, O'l blue went to the drags today, with the...wait for it......Tas Commodore club!! To answer the big question, the old girl will do 14.90 @ 89mph...There was a very tidy Ca18T Powered (I think) 1200 ute there as well, heres a photo..... Oh yeah, some blatent sef promotion.... They hold it every year, maybe we should plan for a bigger invasion next year, I'd love to see Scando and Dean'o carving up some Hold-on's

I'm back after a big week of study. Glad to have that over! That Bluebird looks freakin awesome! Looks like many, many hours have gone into it...........And thats without even seeing any engine bay shots. Good to see Buck's taken me over as the big hair member of the forum That ute looks super neat. was it very quick Bluerat? You'd have to be pretty happy with going under 15's wouldn't you!?!?!? I am keen to have a run at the drags sometime just out of interest.................One day.

Study, yuk!!! hope it all went well.
I Didnt catch a time for the ute, but it was a lot quicker than me, so I'd say 13's??? I'm waiting for the TasComm to down load the results, they should make a good read. I know it's a Datto site, and I do go on about it, but those damn LS1's are a good thing!! My mate towed up his 350(iron) Chev powered Torana Hatch up, and broke it on the 2nd run, so he unhooked the tow car, a Commadore four wheel drive wagon, lined it up next to me and I gave him some lip about how a whale wont beat a certain blue Datto, and he promtly went out and did a 14.3 then his Mrs lined me up and bloody beat me again, man I'm gonna cop some grief over that!!! You would of thought I'd have learned by now! Anywaaaay, Yes i'm very happy to go under 15's, I would love to see what the Zee does Scando, like said they hold it every year, It only cost $65 to enter,no silly licences, Scrut only took 3 tenths of a second (they wiggled the battery!!) and I got at least 12 runs good value. Hopefully we will see the Bluebird at the Hillclimb coming up at Oonah rd, and yes Buck is a good looking man, we should sponser him for Moevember.

Tracked ya down at last to give ya some of that grief ya deserve. haha To clear up a few things, the little White Ute is running a CA18T I believe, about 180rwkw and pulled a mid 13 second pass with a cracked spark-plug so it was missing and farting and running on three cylinders. i was very surprised at the times I managed to wrangle out of old Moby. I was expecting a 15.2-4 and when I came back with a 14.3 I was stoked. (Apparently the Couple4 by HSV only managed a 14.2 ) We would love to see more people attend these events that we run as its all about getting out there and mixing it up with other car enthusiast's like yourselves. Glad you had a great day there in the old blue rat, you certainly looked like you were enjoying yourself and I can tell you that a few of the Commodore guys were more than impressed with the times you were putting down, even some of the heavy hitters in their 12-13 second cars. Found a few pics for you to tide you over till the results are published... Not entirely sure but I think its got an RB30 bottom end with a twin cam head, runs on some fuel concoction and wasnt too bad down the quarter. Its just a pity that this picture was taken mere seconds before that damn alternator bolt broke under the stress of 7350rpm... Just moments before you realised that you were about to eat your words...

Jesus PJ are you everywhere? Your car look's even bigger in the photo!! That would be a very rare photo of the Hatch?? I like how you slipped it in, nice work. Hopefully it might fire a few of the forum up to have a run next year? Your lucky I didn't unhook the Cruiser, now thats quick towcar!!

14.3 is quick for some something that must weigh close to 2 tons!?!?!? You should have swapped lanes and went in behind it to get a tow Bluerat What date is the Oonah hillclimb? I've got all my signatures now and just need to do some work at events to get of my P's

The great Wombat/Bluerat road trip has been run and won. Bluerat got home first in a time of 10pm closely followed by Wombat at 10.30pm.
The big trip to Hobart was a complete success. Datsunreal got his brake booster, B10wagon got his big block (a14) I got my N10 pulsar, Bluerat got his gearbox, 510 racer got his manifold. we got to see Scando in his work suit (doesnt he look flash). We also spotted Deane in his white 1600, and a few other datsun parked around the way. It was great talking to B10wagons mum and dad and having a look at the familys car collection.
we only had one problem all trip which was when the N10 tryed to over take us on the trailer. (lost a tie down and jumped forward on the trailer).
