I heard the new strip isnt even at air.

Dont get too excited, mr j tends to spend some money anytime a new track is mentioned (both sites as we speak) He has some measure of influence and the standard line would be something like "Why build a new track when we can just upgrade mine" After the competition withers away, so do the upgrades.

Good luck all the same! I spent a year working 40 minutes north of air, I wish the place was open while I was there, pt wakefield is the most boring place on earth!

The fate of this 'new strip' depends on what happens to AIR. If AIR is still going to open, there's no reason for the new strip... although methinks Adelaide could do with two

As a few people said to me when they heard about this, "Bob Jane is already on his deathbed now, he's possibly thinking he should give something back to the public".

If there's going to be drags during the winter, I'm there.

Exactly my point, Bobs timing as always is impeccable when it comes to upgrades. What do you think will happen once the possibilty of a competing track goes away. Back to square one.

Giving something back? Those "few people" obviously have no idea about what bob's "given" to the drag racing public in your state and mine. He didnt get rich by "giving back" and he wont start now.

Anyway enough of my whinging in someone elses thread, Since heathcotes slowed right down I havent had my fix and im getting edgy. lol.

Good luck fellas, youll need it.

If they do build the new track anyway... I should care. when it's finished I'll probably be getting out for some action...

But mine's got the big-block pedals!!

Nah, I meant I might be down at the strip in the future, when I have hair on my chest!

On the subject of strip-storming pushbikes, here's a setup I would really like:

That's just sad - he starts his OWN forum, and gets abused on there just like he does everywhere else.

Really, check out the whole site, I guarantee you'll be pissing yourself laughing from the "kill stories" he posts there, or the funny usernames, or the introductions. "KilledRogerInMyPushbike" and "RogerLovesC**kUpTheArse" are my favs
