Queen's Birthday Weekend Drag Meet

Sunday 13th June 2004

Gippsland Dragway
Bairnsdale

Just letting all you Ford Forums people that there is a drag meet on at the Gippsland Dragway in Bairnsdale on Sunday the 13th of June 2004.

It is Bracket style racing, in .5 second bracket intervals, ranging from 6 seconds and under, up to 11 seconds and over.

Prizes, Prizemonies, Trophies and Giveaways and allocated in each bracket, and raffles are held for both spectators and entrants on the day.

The major raffle prize being a $500 Voucher from Dominator High Stall Convertors, as well as many other prizes totalling nearly $2000.

It is also the last round of the Bairnsdale Motor Sports Club/BJ Bearings Points Championship for the year, which is currently very tightly contested between 12 racers.

Entertainment will be provided on the day with Rails, Bikes, and possibly some top fuelers, as well as the days racing of entrants, and of course the Burnout competition at the end of the day.

Catering is provided on the day as well, and BYO is welcome in the spectating area, so it is a great family day out.

Spectator Fees are $10 per spectator, or $25 per car/family.

Entry Fees to race are $40 pre-entry, or $50 on the day.

Times and other details are found on the attached flyer.

As a bit of an incentive to get some FF guys down, all FF members will only pay $40 entry for the day, with the chance to win the $500 Dominator Voucher Free!!

Some of the Ford Forum members that will be there include myself, TEPSI6, ttxr8, and others.

If you would like any more information, please PM me.

Sorry, forgot to insert the flyer attachment.

How do I do that??

Has anyone ever raced at Bairnsdale?

Is anyone interested in attending or racing?

Bairnsdale is just over 2 hours east from Dandy for those that don't know.

Look forward to seeing some of you's there!

OK Then, I guess that's a big fat 'NO' to anyone being interested.

Oh well

I'll be there and i'm still trying to con Brett into taking his for a rare 6 sec pass, it ran 7.18 last time and now it has 50rwkw more power.
I hear Wardy's sorted out his gearbox now so that will be running some low 7's if not a high 6.
Should be good.

TTNOS8 · 05-27-2004, 23:58

Woo Hoo! Someone knows where Bairnsdale is! lol

Brett will come won't he? the VL should be well and truly into the 6's. He was close last meet. Good Luck to him!

Wardy will be there with bells on, as not only has he sorted some g'box problems, he has found more power too by changing the comp wheel of the turbo some, and rebalancing again, and re-tuning. So he will surely be into the 6's as he ran a 7.08 last meet.

Dunno yet but Shaun might be there in his Torana, he ran a 8.5 1/4 mile at Heathcote last month, as well as just made over 830HP on the engine dyno, so his usually high 5 second passes should tumble!

There is also a few rails coming down from NSW and also Weribee so should be a really good day!

Can you confirm if there will be some Top Fuellers attending the meet?

Top Fuellers on an 1/8th mile?

I'll try and convince the missus to head up there with me in the galaxy... but I won't be racing if I do head up.

As yet, no I cannot.

One of our event sponsors is Fuchs, which are a couple of cars major sponsors. One of which is a Victorian based Top Fueller. If they are not running at the Winternationals (same weekend), they will most likely be doing a few runs to scare the shitta out of everyone at Bairnsdale!

Also not a definate, but some blown big blocks may be also making their way down here. Again a confirmation has to be made.

Where are you based mondie?

TTNOS8 · 06-04-2004, 18:37

Date is getting closer, and planning has stepped up a cog!

Have pestered the Fuchs team for a definate answer, and no the top fuellers will not be, BUT, there will be at least 3 blown cars running in the low 5's.

The rails are still coming, which should be 6's high 5's, and as well as some bikes running good times.

Hopefully the weather is OK so we have a real good meet.
