I'm spewing I did'nt make it to the VW club drag night on the weekend. But I'd still love to know the results, highlights, pic's, etc...

Also, how did Nick's beetle go?

I managed a 14.8 in the fastback.

There is no way I can keep up with the turbo boys while Naturally Aspirated.

Heathcote is a great track. Easy to get runs in without having to queue up for too long. Very friendly and good facilities.

Sure am Cam.

Kicking around the thought of "old" school turbo. Holley 750 turbo prepped with T03.

I have all the right electrics (Mallory HyFire with boost retard.), I have the Holley Blue fuel pump. The gearbox should be up to the job. (Ivan Albins gears, close ratio with LSD) and the chassis has been strengthed to cope with it.

I am making a truckload of power for NA, but the fastback with rollcage is just too heavy. I don't want to lighten the car, so the answer is more power.

Oh, A 100 hp shot of nitrous isn't out of the question either.

Low 14's - 13's was my goal when I was in SA. I now have my vision focused on 12's-11's.

I must be hanging out with the wrong crowd.

Dude that would be awesome! RLR style 😀 Are you going to intercool it as well?

14's in a heavy typeIII with a cage is bloody impressive. If you can get it into the 11's that would be unreal.

Is the car your daily driver?
