Pit Report
Roses new combo has done 20 passes over the 1/4 mile
best time was the 13.853. @7psi shifting @5000rpm
The last few runs last night at WSID the motor got a bit fuely off of the start and a bit of clutch slip shifting to forth.
I think the rancho box and AJ Sims motor has past their test

car forums. where a lot of peoples good intentions end up taking a good old car off the road forever never ever to see the road again. 🥲
We went up to the work shop to do a bit of maintenance on a couple of our VWs, getting them ready for racing in 2012.
The Nude Bug clutch was slipping the last few racers changing into top gear.
It looks like it just got a bit hot as it was a stock VW clutch plate.
We changed it to a HD clutch plate.
The 1970 red street Bug that Rose racers at Wakefield Park at the vw nationals clutch started to shudder the other week going to work.
On removing it we found that it looks like someone had did some mods on the clutch plate. some bits had come loose.
It's been it the car since 1990s not bad I guess as its never driven easy .
iF any one knows why do this. only to one side.

took the nude bug to the first Sydney VW Show Down for 2012
and did my PB time of 13.474sec pass with 10psi boost at 104.22mph, R/T .072 with a 2.052 60'
what an event they ended up with around 96 competitors
another video link from the Sydney Volkswagen Show Down 2012 in the finals against CT
CT had the head start and I red lit o well it was still fun to catch him

That looks like a cheapo attempt at a paddle clutch plate 😂

Two different friction materials with a Marcel spring provide the best of both worlds. With the Marcel in the center, a perfectly smooth engagement is made for street application and the space age material and pads provide consistent hook-up day after day. Ideal for dual purpose street, occasional trips to the drag races and normal offroad applications. VW disc modified in USA by Gene Berg Enterprises and Bill Hays

Looks great Ian and Rose!
Dont forget you must run a proper front runner tyre (or cross ply)
when using slicks on the rear,
or you will have your hands full.
