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 ?
