Well guys, just thought I would share my little 10seconds of fame video of the Hilux. This is taken from the One HD tv show of the event.
Not sure how many of you's on here are actually familiar with our Winternationals. But it is described as the largest annual drag racing meet outside of the US, and is our grand finals for the racing season.
With the amount of racers and talent that come from all over Australia, and overseas, it is a major achievement to just make it past the first round of racing. This was my first time actually competing in this event as I am usually crewing for a friend.
After the first attempt, the meeting was rained out and rescheduled. Well the forecast wasn't the best for the re-run of the event and one of the 3 days was wasted due to rain, again. But was a good weekend and eventually made it to race day. Sun shining, car going great and some good racing all round. Somehow I managed to make it all the way through to and past the quarter finals (featured in the link below) and scored myself a bye run into the finals. Unfortunately the rain came back once again as we lined up for the semi finals and the meeting was completely called off this time. But had a great time and can't wait for the new season. Enjoy the vid.

The Hilux is about to undergo its latest round of modifications as I am now following the rising trend and converting to E85, which in my case, involves an entire new fuel system. So I will be sure to post some updates and new pics over the next few weeks.
