Are you meeting up anywhere?

The GCMCA are meeting at the BP Cometa for a 7:00 departure time most people will be there around 6:30, Glenn should be there around them as well unless he is going up earlier to set up in the club area,  You are quite welcome to come and join up with us at the BP and cruise up with us Ryan.

[GLENN 70]

I will be at the BP  around 6.30 to hand out stickers to put on your windscreen so you get to park in the club parking area .I will be leading for the run up and driving just under the speed limit the whole way ,and will leave the BP  servo spot on 7 am .Bring your own chairs ,food and drinks if you want ,and if you want to race a helmet a long sleeved shirt ,long pants and covered in shoes .

Scattered showers and thunderstorms predicted from the early afternoon

Finished a couple of things needed to bring my car to 100% condition yesterday and gave her a polish today in readiness.
Parked out of the garage for 10 minutes and experienced the local fauna crapping all over it from a great height, so had to wash part of it again ... ain't nature wonderful!
Picked up my sticker from Ross yesterday and will be going the back way from here via Boonah turn off, so see you guys there.
Just saw the forecast Rodney so hope they are wrong. (as usual).

Me too Peter.
Are you taking a helmet up with you? ??????

[Pedro]

Me too Peter.

No Rodney, I'm not into it in these classics.
Now if I still had the F6 ........ mmmmm

[69ISH]

Cmon Peter, Perry is bringing his helmet and so is Glenn and It would be good Ford versus Pontiac,
66 Mustang versusc 66 GTO and 69 Mustang versus 70 GTO

[69ISH]

Maybe even 66 GTO versus  70 GTO  would be good  too

[LEE H 69]

And who was this leaving a turbo for dead,
on ya Glen (click pic for video)

[GLENN 70]

Thanks Lee that was good ,but boy was my car off the pace yesterday .I only had a couple of runs 13.0 @108mph ,and a 12.81 @108 ,no traction yesterday at all 2.2 sec 60 footers  and only 108 mph from 113mph .Track temp was 38 deg ,boy was it HOT . Had to leave because of the storms coming ,didnt make it home coped it then when i got home my battery in my remote control went flat, and could not open the garage door and no house keys to get in .Lucky no hail but rain my god RAIN ,ended going to my mates house and getting a new battery for the remote ,it worked .Putting house keys on that key ring now .

[69ISH]

You only got 2 runs in, you must have been cueing for ages glad I got scared of taking mine out and throwing more belts.  You could have called me about the remote if you got stuck that bad, Perry literally closed his garage door and down it came but I had a whole 10 mins before it hit my place.

I will wait to June for our club time and hopefully have the belt throwing issue resolved by then.

[LEE H 69]

I seen your car there Rodney But didn't spot you anywhere to say hello,
I found Glen lining up for the drags, was a good day out

I went for a walk to take a look at all the other toys there and by the time I came back Glenn had already gone and cued up, saw his first run and I thought his car was going extremely well for a 289 with a high performance distributor I should have lined up and see how my stock 302 with a chrome dipstick and fuel line went but I was too scared.

 Spewing I had to miss out on it... Looks like it was a good day out! At least I wasn't stuck with all the cleaning at the end when the storm hit.

[Pedro]

As the glove-box was still out of the dash while I finish off the a/c stuff, I didn't run my GTO because you guys would have accused me of unfair weight reduction. LOL
Sorry I missed you Lee ... didn't see you anywhere. Is your car back on the road?

Not on the road yet Peter, I'm hoping maybe late this year,
I didn't know you had bought another GTO, I knew you were selling the Park lane

[Pedro]

Gee Lee, it will be welcoming an old lost mate when she finally gets back on the road.
Yes a collector with 40 cars bought the Park Lane. It was an exceptional car but having to garage it in a shed 5 kms away and worrying about rats I decided the best thing was to sell it. Only lasted 2 days from when Unique Cars" hit the newsagents.
Was looking for a 69 Mach 1 or a 63/4 Galaxie when I stumbled across this rust free Texas 70 GTO 455, RA 111, 4 sp Muncie, 12 bolt.
