Ok, July 19th Willowbank raceway, all ford day.

I'm not in the MOCA Qld (yeah, I know, I know... slack), so my questions are:
Is this a club run? [qld branch page just describes it as 'event of interest']
How do you pre-register? Or is it just a show-up, first in, best dressed kind of thing?
[sadly, I need to take my fastback along and put a for sale sign on it :cry: :cry: :cry:]
Aaron.

I don't know if it is a MOCA Qld run but you can just turn up at Willowbank on the day and pay your entry fee.
If GLENN70 is well enough to go, I will be going as well, if he is not well enough it will depend on who else is going whether I bother or not.

Doesn't look I can go BUGGER . If you are going make sure you get their early as if gets packed and you won't have a choice where you park . At the gate ask to park with the mustangs / mustang club so you guys are all together . Great day with a few events going on inc drag racing . If any one wants to race take long pants ,long sleeves .covered in shoes and a helmet with the Aussie standards sticker on it .
-
I am in if I get my new box back in time.
-
I'm heading out in the vert :burnout:
-
ok, maybe I'll see a few of you there!
Hope the weather gets better by then :thud:
-
If the weather is OK, I may take both cars up - the admission price is very reasonable too - unlike two days of chunder !
:grin: :grin: :grin:
-
I might even go up for a drive, been a while since I took the old girl out for a spin
-
Hmm might have to polish the dip stick and Armor All the 215/14 std wheels and tyres so its ready to give it a run down the 1/4 mile . Anyone else up for it . Ryan are you game . :grin: .

I just paid $3,146 for a new transmission ==> so I'll give the 1/4 mile a miss
(racing is for people with more money than me :cry: )

Don't talk about it ,last car show at willow bank I gave mine a run and blew the converter and the crap went through the auto as well .

oops - I either missed this news or forgot :bolt: - I was not trying to 'rub salt in the wound '
Hopefully it gave you a reason to put something else you wanted more in :)
-
I was planning on going but just got the news that I'm not :cry:
Oh well - next time maybe, shame as I was really looking forward to this show.

Haha you know I am. This is going to be a expensive weekend for me. It's all booked in will try and have the box back in Thursday. do you have any experience with them hydrolic throw out bearings bit nervous with that as if I don't get the depth right I'll have to pull the box out again to shim it. I'm cutting it close that for sure
-
Hoping to go and might give the car a run down the track Maybe . Who's going ? .
-
I will be going, I will have to try and find someone to video you racing Ryan.
It will be interesting seeing Ryan with his 500+ Hp engine and new big exhaust against your 430 Hp engine and stock tranny with a small stall converter especially with both cars being very similar weights.
-
:lmao: that's called stirring the pot :grin:
-
I don't stir the pot that's to slow I use an electric mixer.
You will have to watch to make sure Ryan isn't unbolting your stock air cleaner, Gees there big bloody thing's, you could hide heaps in there and no one would be the wiser.
-
I really hope the weather is good!
-
Yes plenty of room inside that std mustang air cleaner . I put my lunch inside so I can have a hot meal and the flies stay away . Gee might even have room for some soup ,Sunday is going to be cold . :grin:
-

Me too,
Are you going?
-

You might have to use some extra gas to keep lunch warm.
-
Me too,
Are you going?
I think I'll head along regardless, but if it is raining I won't take the 'stang. There's also a show & shine at Rocklea.
-
Does anyone know if MOCA have a designated site

Well looks like the hot lunch is off , and a plain old sandwich is on instead . :cry: the bullshit stops when the flag drops . :grin: Might just go for a cruise down the track now .
-
Forecast is fine for tomorrow for all Ford day BUT 2 deg in the morning :o: I remember a few years ago going and driving straight pass the track because of the heavy fog ,worked it out after another 20 min of driving :lmao: .
-
At least the wind has gone..See ya there.
-
69ish with the purple 69 fastback should be parked next to my red 66 coupe . God only knows where we will be parked as we are going a little later but should roll up around 8.10
-
Ok I'll keep an eye out for you, I got a mate bringing up a very tough XW for its first run, we should get there just before 8 along with a few other Stangs... Looking FORD to it :lol:
-
Good day guys ,a little cold early but got quite warm . Plenty of FORDS on show and too many racing ,the line up went for miles . I went ok ,69 ish went very well ,and shelby mustro gave his a go but needs a little sorting out yet with the new gear box ,but good on you Ryan for giving it a run :thumb: . Someone might have some pics .
-
We had a great day Glenn, was good to meet you all and have a bit of fun on the strip :thumb:
-
Found this one of Rodney's car come up on my facebook.

Anyone got more pics? I didn't make it out today. :cry:
-
Here's a pic of me up against a mate in his very tough XW. Photo courtesy of (66vert) Thanks Louis :thumb: Congrats to Louis too for picking up another award for his stunning convertible. Well done mate :cheers:
-
Here's a couple of pics taken by my lovely wife of a 2015 LHD Mustang making use of the new line lock feature :burnout: ...Which unfortunately I don't think we're going to get on the Aus versions :thud:
-
The brand new 2015 GT LHD Mustang ran a best of 12.75 :burnout: :event:
-
I was told it had been played with :shrug:
-
Just tickled maybe ?? :grin:
-
Mine went quite well 2nd and 3rd run but not the 1 st run ,just wheel spun . I have lost some top end , about 3 mph by taking the spacer plate off the dual plain intake manifold so I can fit the std original air cleaner . I go the total sleeper look inc the std 14 inch rims and hub caps and bowlers hat on the back shelf . :grin: it still goes ok but just out side the 11s .
-
Looks like it was a good day - Thanks for the pics, hopefully there will be a few more put up for those who didn't/couldn't make it.
Gee Glen only just out of the 11's :tissue: Most people would kill to have a car stuggle as much as your's does on the strip :burnout:
-
I made it - but did'nt talk to anyone :bolt:
must get the pictures downloaded.
Anyone know who owns the blue 66(?) coupe [I think it was - I did'nt have the best view from the stands, and did'nt tape/photo it cause it looked stock-as-a-rock!] that ran under 10 seconds ? :omg: :omg:
-

I ran a PB of 12.45 @ 111.97 Mph then a 12.48 @ 110.19 Mph on my street tyres (No Sticky tyres like other were running) Then when I came around to staging for a 3rd run they waved me and the car in front of me off back onto the display field and I don't know why (At the time I thought they only had enough time for us to do 2 runs)
I think I can go quicker especially if I can stop the car from missing over 4500 rpm
Definitely will go quicker with sticky tyres.

Hey Ryan by the photos yours looks like it was hooking up off the line and going . What were your 60" times and half track times and mph

Can you post the photos? It wasn't the start point I was having issues.
Here's a vid of me racing that gt500 car. ha I couldn't get 3rd gear ended up poping it in 5th mid point down the track.

That blue 67 FB has a fairly tuff 428 in it . I kicked him off the line but he wasn't the best driver and it was his 1st time on a track . Think he ran around a 12.7 at 111 mph , so about the same time as the new mustang that raced . Ryan did you find some front take off photos of mine ? .
-
There was other photos but was taking too long for the 3000 odd photos to down load on my phone for me to screen shot them.
-

Bit of a slug for what's supposed to be Ford Australia's hero model.
-
It's too bad I didn't get a chance to line up beside it in my little red coupe :burnout: that would have been a blast .
-
Looks like a great day had by all
-
This was my first time to this show. What fun. My car is still not on the road but will have it there next time. Glen70 your car was fully fooling everyone (well me at least). It was really fast and a Joy to watch. I'm trying to decide which of the clubs to join based on the day. Hard to tell. I've got a 72 mach1. Cheers. Adam.
-
digadam , its a good show and with the racing makes it even better . Mine is a sleeper looking car and you wouldn't believe the amount of people that come over to check it out . I'm just not happy with the top end mph at the track ,but the low dual plain intake manifold and std original air cleaner are to blame ,but its the look I want . Where area are you from ?
