Well while most of you shiver away and shovel snow etc our season kicks off on Saturday .
1st round of National Drag Racing Championship .
This will be @ Willowbank Raceway in Queensland, sort of northern Oz . Weather forecast is heating up with32c-37c but there will be humidity and lots of water grains with a DA probably in the mid 3000s or higher . So I will be running 10.40s or maybe 10.50 so slow .
In the NDRC whilst most events have full sportsman range of classes they often have only a few "professional classes " . This event has nitro funny car , top alcohol and promod .
I think apart from some safety regs biggest difference for us is we run a .400 tree , not a .500 like seems in USA .
AS some may know I run no box footbrake , though tbrake and air/elec shift is allowed . This is 10.00-12.99 et range . And as usual I will probably be the biggest car in class , 1968 Satellite .
This will be my second season running the #1 .
Now all I need to do is improve my driving at Willowbank , never driven as well as I can there .
This is a 11hr haul for me from Sydney .
It should be 7plus tv app , though it might require a vpn to get around geo lock ?

Good luck Tex, have a safe trip and bring home another #1. I'm about 6-7 weeks from hitting the track.

Good luck and keep us informed how you do down under.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.
