Probably easiest to contact the Tdra directly on this one.
PSI086
The TRDA Dragway site stated that L platers couldn't race. Its probably to do with their insurance or something. The site is broken at the moment so I can't post the link

LOL L platers don't need passengers wen they're not on the road haha.
308power
there licences dont allow them to drive any car with out fully licenced driver and the andra wont allow passengers in drag cars down the 1/4 mile mate so lol wavey.gif
PSI086
CAMS and ANDRA have a lot of different rules. People might not agree with all of them but thats the way it is.

BTW 308power is that Jason's old car <<<<
308power
yep sure is good friend of mine owns it now
PSI086
Was certainly a quick car back when Jason used to race it as well as being very tidy
308power

Yeh their ROAD licence. Road licences don't apply on the drag strip or track. I already know there are no learners allowed for whatever reason. maybe they prefer P platers at minimum for on-road experience or watever but I hope it's got nothing to do with passengers because OF COURSE learners don't need passengers wen they're not driving on a public road hence why motokhana, drift, club days, hill climbs etc. etc. are ALL fine with that.

308power

trey383
why get hostile 308? Pretty sure evl was being sarcastic.Even so you opened the can of worms by saying your MATES car is potentially fastest in tas
KITTEN
*sigh*

Original question been answered, can we close this now?
PSI086
Yeah Brett was only shit stirring. Would be good to see the car with an auto in it
308power
well i jus wanna know if it holds the record at the track and as for being hostile he has a smart arse comment towards nearly evry ones threads i said possibly i didnt say it is. He said pro xt is period thats a big call that commy in question did a 11.4 the first time ever he dragged it up the track with a t10 5 speed u do the maths 5000 stally tufff auto = very fast times and i think by rite graeme pettits torana terrorana holds the track na record with a 10.80 street legal before it was tubbed and blown

308power

308power
thumbsup.gif thanx for asking anyways
PSI086
As far as I know PROXT has never even run an 11 in Tassie in that car. Mind you its got an different engine now......
308power
be cool to find out what times it has ran
PSI086
10.4 at Calder park. No gas aparently
308power
not bad for calder park not 2 bad at all what times has he ran at the tarck in tas
PSI086
Something close to 12.1 off the transbrake but don't think it was with this motor. I'm sure Dean will correct me if I'm wrong. I qualified 1 car behind at that meeting so it was around that sort of ET
