Rod is there any discount for FF members??

marcuss · 20-01-2005, 11:17 PM

Bob Jane is a turd. He wouldn't give a discount to his own family.

V8 Ghia · 21-01-2005, 09:14 AM

and yet he gives discounts to AFF members if they put thier name on the list that Rod puts up here.

Now everyone, say sorry to BJ and thank you to Rod who, for the last 12 months, has tirelessly put up a list each week and secure discounts for us all for nothing more then the love of the forums and drag racing.

marcuss · 21-01-2005, 10:28 AM

Sorry dude, didn't know about the list. My opinion of BJ stems from his treatment of competition drag racers over the last few years. When I called him a turd I was being nice.

yup

the discount last I heard was 45 to race (usually 55) and I can't remember the spectating savings but I would guess you would save in the vicinity of 10 bucks

V8 Ghia · 21-01-2005, 11:35 AM

Kewl
Rod can you put my brother on the list aswell for racing (XC 302)

SpoolMan · 21-01-2005, 12:55 PM

Hi marcuss, please refrain from personal attacks on people. There are other ways of saying you don’t like someone, without being so personal.
Like Casper said Calder Park has been good to all forums.

There is a special dance you can do for the girl's amusement, but thats an OFR secret, maybe Mark (XRFPV8) will show you after

the monza runs a 9
the pursuit runs a 10
the XR8 runs an 11
and MY CAR eventually runs some sort of 13, lol

lol...

when you rock up .. say you are X from 'The Forums' and they will ask you if you are racing or spectating. Pay up and go inside.

Mark.. I have my helmet in case I change my mind

brenx · 21-01-2005, 06:16 PM

Can't make tonight but I should be good to go in 3-5 weeks to come out for a run Rod. I don't get my cyl heads back till tomorrow I'll be aiming for low->mid 11's next time out. Should be fun

I've made a pile of changes and should have a few more horses to play with.
