Sandfly Alley and Race Team, New Zealand

Just a quick one, pony boy, Matt and myself started getting stuff ready for another new track wonder who it could be.

I think you could be right, stay tuned.

Nothing to see here, move along, there was lots to see, mostly rain, never mind we went racing last night at the world-famous Mustang Alley.

With all the prep and hype these little buggers are still not playing the game or are they.



On arrival i was greeted with these guys hogging my pit stall, but thats ok i needed to dry out.




Camp mother seen here qualifying a car for the 10th time.




Alan the lawn mower man using the old Will's trick of blowing through the armature for more speed.....

So to a story, the other week end pony boy, Matt and myself went on a road trip to Stratford for a swap meet, leaving early at 6am chugging the first beer of the week end we were off to the races, after a while we decided to stop for breakfast at Waverly, a nice feed of bacon and eggs followed by more beer, not for pony boy he was driving, so he was sent of to get ice for the chilly bin. Whilst we were filling the bin with ice and having a general muck around rearranging the beer supplies we were off down the road, pony boys phone goes off, its a call from Matt, Paul turns around to ask why Matt is ringing him only to find out Matt aint where hes supposed to be, as we left the curb Matt walked out of the cafe to find us driving off without him, Matt said to a couple at an outside table, they are going to stop, ne we just kept on going, lucky Matt had his phone or he could still possibly be waiting for our return, so for now Matts new name is Waverly Matt. A great laugh for pony boy and myself.

Ok back to the racing,



Convinced Pony boy to buy this as well.



How about some Tin Top racing, the sandfly model A against Waverly's 32.

Ok now to the important bit, qualifying was ok, racing not so much, may have had a few to many sniffs of race fuel.



As can be seen the only chicken dinner was from the F100 in truck, next week are racing at Waverly's place.

Good Day
Drag Mates, I enjoy all your posts and photos 📸 Your all a Great inspiration,

So the report from Waverly raceway, fka Lightning park, was cold heaters were on and i may have had a few before i got there, which is just across the street.
Ended up putting cars in the wrong classes, fixed that befor Matt found out tho i renamed the F100  to a 51 chev, no idea how that happened.



The ice man and myself enjoyed the company of this fine heater all night.

Qualifying was a bit of a mess with the mac's tools car being a way of the pace, even broke my own rule of not opening cars on race night, still coundnt get much more speed out of it, never mind, most of the other cars were there or there abouts in time. Matt had some issues with the track as it had been cold and with the heaters on it played havic with the power joints, thats why we went to continuous power rails, never mind, he had it kind of fixed for the races.




Pony boys dragster lives in matts shed, my company logo on the side.



Waiting waiting waiting we were while matt did the necessary paper work to get us going.



And were off, as usual the racing was fast and slow for some of us, drivers looking at the food stalls instead of looking down the track, i found the model A driver eating a hot dog at the side of the track with the engine still running and the green light on and the other car nowhere to be seen.



To the results, as you can see we still have a few ofr cars competing tho i think lawn mower man Alan still holds the record.
4ths went to the vega in pro stock and the willies in vintage gas, and Mac's tools in top fuel, just couldnt get it going.
No 3rds.
2nds to Jungle jim.
Chicken dinners to the f100 (51 chev) in truck and the Ghost in Pro Mod.

So next week see's us back home so have to clear the shed out of fiat parts, till then.

Hump day?
