I went really well. I managed to win the class (3J Imp Pro 1601-2000cc) and the state title aswell. Very Happy!!!! The only VW's that ran were in 3J under 2L (6 in total). The competition for the class was pretty close with the next in class behind me being a datson 1200 (0.3 seconds - Steve brydie), followed by Ben (0.2 seconds behind the dato), followed by Heath (I think 0.20 secs behind ben, dont quote me) then Grant. Im not to sure what time Grant pulled, but he was over a sec behind before they blew the CV. Heaths wife (Christine) had a blinder to be fastest lady driver......well done! and my old man finished behind Christine
I dont know about the Sunday as I didnt compete (if anyone knows could they post them). To pissed celebrating.:beer. An interesting point though, while I was talking to Ben about motors he told me that the 1916 engine he built for heath in his beetle, although didnt produce as mush HP, produced more bottom end torque then his strocker 19...something which I found amazing.
Anyway. The beetles smoked them..........
