I heard that Col (15.0, 1584cc), and Morgie Smith are coming,
but not sure.

Yes, Willowbank Drag Strip is out past Amberly,
on the Cunningham Highway.
Best way to get there is via the Logan toll road.
It is about 120kmm to get there depending where on the Gold Coast you live.

I am not exactly disappointed, but would have liked to see the car run again,
and have another look at its engineering.
The event this year is not and ANDRA Record event like it was last year.
You can set a Sport Compact Group record though.
I am just hoping to go a bit faster than my PB,
and with luck, a couple of rounds of racing so I can run the car in some good air at night.

i had a good look at it last year and the engineering involved is top notch!! To hear that thing corss the line under full power is undescribable. The guy was telling me it runs to just over 10 000 rpm!! By the sounds of it at the traps it's not far off.

Was good and bad stories for most of us last night.
Poor old Morgie had a Porsche 912 rod let go inside his case,
but Macca said they will be up and running before the Compak Attack
on May19th at WSID.
Col and Rod both got past first round and Rod ran some 12.20"s and over 112mph!
Col cracked a stunning 14.89@ 90mph...man that is one fast 1584cc n/a Volksy!!
I was very lucky and ran a best of 11.400 to win the final of "All Motor" and a new record of 11.400.
Thanks to the many Volksy people that came along to support us, and my crew for the day Andrew(Stanley), and Alan.
Also Damo, the Volksy dude with the red shirt & piercings (sorry I cant remember your name...Sam?), Brennden, Waco(sp?), Richie, and the drivers and crews from the other teams who were there with encouragement through out the day.(sorry if I missed anyone).
It was a big night for me since my last win was in 1995(wow, back when the dinosoars roamed the earth!)

No probs Dave!! Always glad to help:thumb congrats on the win. But man those Alcorn boys are getting fast!!
Got some pics to post up when I get a chance. Also big thumbs up to Col for his efforts yesterday and he wasn't the slowest car out there by a long shot!! Wonder how fast you would have gone if you let us at you car to remove all that excess weight eh!!
Was a great day and the VW's have now won the first 2 rounds of Sport compact All motor. Let's keep it going now and not spoil a perfect record!!
