What happened to all the items and all the money that was invested ?? Not saying it was great, but it did have some serious investment.

From what i know they have sold up shop and sold the dyno's to Dubi ...
it not like they dont have money over there .. They spent $14million setup up the place and then put a Pizza Hut manager to run the place ... no wonder it failed big time ... It was fun while i worked there .. i would never have paid to use the system...

Well i was forced to do it really ... once i realized what it was doing to peoples cars i stopped "selling: the idea to people ... i remember setting you up as a customer .. how much damage was done to your car ... i can easy count 4-5 clutches same for diffs and transmissions ... and you carnt forget about the car catching on fire on the dyno... did you ever go down intot he pits after a race meet... i would say there was about 5 litres of engine/trans fluids under there ... and coolant everwhere ... and i wont even start on what i did to my car ..

I saw that Drag Tag thing on TV a while ago, might have been on Beyond Tomorrow or some show like that. Why was it so hard on cars? I'm guessing there wasn't a proper fan blowing against the front of a car so they were all overheating?
EDIT: Cobra posting under XRchic by accident

Im not surprised it never got off the ground, I kinda liked doing the pre stage burnout, eyeing off the other bloke in the staging and easing up to stage.
Also a mate over here in perth saw a drag tag machine at Kostecki Engine centre. Must've picked it up for peanuts.
