30 Meg download..... my workplace ain't big enough to hide that download
Don't suppose you could burn a few copies and bring 'em along to the next meet Mike?
Or are you going to go to the shed run? I'll happily throw you a gold coin for the cd.

So out of this we learned that the tyres Garrett was using need a lot more heat to get them working properly. Big burnouts are the order of the day so look out next time.

Got any pics of the infamous burnout??

Unfortunately no. I wish I'd had a camera for the even bigger one on the way home

How much tire pressure in the rears?

,,,,, oh man, they'll probably tell me in kilopascals or kw per inch or who knows what. Some number I'll have to calculate.

About 744000 Roos per Hectare*. Any less Skippys and the car wheel spun even more.

*Based on your average Kangaroo weighing 150lb and taking up about 1 square meter of space.

Aussie:
Drop bears per Gum would make for an easier conversion.
2.75 bears to the roo and 85 trees to the Hectare.
That's 2.04 mega bears in the rears, no wonder he was spinning off the line!

Garrett:
Maybe you should give Judy a call next time. She went up against 30 cars at Heathcote in our Cobra a few years back and came home with a monster trophy
