willowbank question?

[dbn04]

just wondering how many if any of you without rollbars have done a few runs at willowbank raceway on there test and tune nights.
i know the regs but have you got away with it

Looks like the QLD gang are going out there this Friday night...weather permitting.

How fast do you think you will go? Getting into the 12's is a decent effort if you are using plain old street tyres.

I really don't know about roll bars as all the Cobras I have seen go, have at least had decorative roll bars fitted.

So a Cobra without any visible sign of roll bars could attract attention, but I expect it wouldn't.

I have never seen any extra requirements even for the Cobra's that have broke into the 11's at Willowbank.

Getting into the 10's, now that's a different story.

The regulars will know more about it than I would, see if any of them chime in.

thanks, craig,
i would be a man if it was in the 12s, but if it did under 12.99 i believe they send ya home and know more fun for me. i would like to give it a couple of runs just to see.

Personally I wouldn't worry about it.

Just give it a go.

I have run at the local 1/8 th mile and ran 8.0 @ 86 mph without concern from ANDRA.
I have a single hoop from one side to the other of the car, 4 point harnesses but no arm restraints or racing suit.
I was told by the meeting steward that as long as I wasn't faster than 7.0 they where not concerned.
7.0 over the eighth is no mean feat, it would equate to low 11's but after talking to a few others we could only assume that becuase the trap speed would not be anything like 1/4 mile and that it was a country track that they where being lenient.
Good luck and have fun.

So what (who) Cobras are going on Friday night. Sounds like a good reason to miss the footy.

Depends on the weather, if it's good, I would expect the usual suspects - Pete, Ash, John, Warren, Wayne etc.

Just spoke to my brother, only need a roll bar at Willowbank once you run into the 10's.

Something to to aim for anyway.

If you are quicker than 11.99 at wsid with an open top car they send you home and tell you to come back with a full cage, Phil mizzi can vouch for that.

Why is it different up there craig, beats me
