Dam that's terrible news!! Does that mean you'll have to replace the block?

:

No and i'm not 100% that's it but there's not much else it can be.
If it is, i'll sleeve it, be stronger that original then.

I really want to come but Id have to get off work early or catch up with you guys somehow. I also have a transmission cooler and spark plugs sitting here that Id like to get fitted before thrashing it to hard, but at this time of year finding money to have them done is hard.

If I cant get my shit sorted out in time maybe Ill come and just do 1 or 2 runs. Whats the chances of someone letting me use their helmet?

[Mortz]

W00T W00T!!
But yeah lol, anyone know where can i score a cheap-ish helmet from? A bike shop or something?

 

[godzilla]

If you are allowed to run a motorcross helmet you can use mine.

I got a crappy open face one for about $60 at a bike shop in Nerang (Lawrence Dr).

Just thought I'd add so noone gets caught out - Latest ANDRA rules state the helmet must be AS/NZS 1698 so even if it has the snell rating (which is better) it won't be accepted unless WB strutineers aren't as pedantic as HV.

I had a perfectly good Shoei with a snell rating but wasn't accepted. Now I have a cheaper less safe open face helmet that is accepted only because it has the AS/NZS 1698 sticker.

Good to know Josh, thanks for the heads up...but does anyone know if it will be cool for me to use Trev's moto helmet? (oh and thanks Trev )

You need to check for the sticker that Josh mentioned. You will run the risk of looking like a douche in a car with a moto helmet on though lol (not that my open face one looks much cooler haha)

 

[Mortz]

Any helmet will be douchey looking so i'm not too concerned hehe, but i am gunna see if I can pick a cheap open face one up. I'll use it later on anyways.

 

[leebutts]

Good stuff - epic drag racing meet will be epic...

 

[Nitephyre]

Wewt... I'm hoping I've got the $$$ to have some runs

 

[TTVR4]

Mmmm, i am thinking about towing my new baby out there for a few runs.
