The rain held out but it was so damn windy our stall almost blew away. The strong winds were trouble for the drivers too but it didn’t stop Nemo, the wild and much debated Australian EVO entry from cracking a 1:25.7400, a massive 3 seconds faster than last year’s winner the Cyber EVO from Japan.

ADVAN generously let us share their tent at the foot of the Cyber EVO and Top Fuel Garages, where ALL the action was happening. If you’re in Sydney tomorrow, be sure to drop in and say G’Day!


Our stand.


Collab is key and sharing is caring. :)


Advan’s CT and his bike.

All new, not yet released Forza was a feature at the Hankook stand. Graphics and gameplay were awesome!


Great buddies Mark Pakula and Garth Ivers.


Not the best shot of Photographer Extraordinaire Matthew Mead.


Nissans dominated the historics.


Thing of beauty: Top Fuel S2000.


Nemo shuts up all the doubters.


Cyber Evo rocks up late with no track time left. Ballsy?!


Cyber Hero? We’ll find out tomorrow.
