I will pop in for a looky, I am taking the endeavour rally car out to Moogerah on the trailer (which goes straight past the track) and then heading up to the historics at Morgan Park- I will pop in and say hi.
Good luck

I'm entered. My Beetle is a former Endeavour rally car from the 90's.
It shouldn't be too hard to recognise!
next meeting 15th of August
Change of calendar - The meeting will be on the 22nd.
I'll be there if I can figure out why the Beetle is running on three cylinders.
On a sad note, Allen Ransome, who has been the scrutineer and also a competitor at these events since long before my time, passed away a few days ago. I always liked Allen. He was always good for an interesting conversation and a bit of helpful advice. He was also pretty quick in that old Mini of his.
My condolences to his family and those who knew him.
That is sad. I remember Alan was one of the first people to intdroduce himself at the first event I did there. One of the many nice people at the club/events that was always willing to lend a hand. I still remember chasing down his mini on day, i was next car after him and my goal was to catch him before the finish... it wasn't easy!
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!
Go hard or go home!!!!
Next event 17 April.....put it in your calander !!!

my new R1 donk is pretty different to the old one (only by about 9 years) :-)
so,,, we have a little bit more work to fit the thing than i originally intended
I might come out to the autocross this weekend for a look as Beck might run her Prelude :-)
I plan to go and help out for the day. The L Bug is presently a rolling shell only and I've pulled the engine out of the rally beetle, so I won't be competing.
Hope to see you there.
Sorry guy's ...false alarm for me, have to be the May event, my wife has booked some culture for me instead and car really not ready yet.....👎👎

What day is the autocross on ? Sat or Sun..
Might bring the Datto out for a trot, as my Subie powered buggy is still a fair way from completion.

My new buggy motor is now mounted, all i need to do now is wire all the injection computer in, (wires bloody everywhere) fit up all the high pressure fuel system, swirl-pot & return line etc, (more bloody stuffing around & more weight) set-up the cam timing (these R1 cam chains stretch in about 5000ks so we re-set them to where they`re supposed to be) , make up & fit the sump baffle plate... (stop the thing loosing oil pressure on hard corners & accel),,, make up the new exhaust system, (great here we go again with another pile of spaghetti pipes all over the place) & then bung all the other crap back on like alloy shielding, front nudge bar, radiator, the new dash etc etc etc,,,, & then we`ll be racing again
sounds easy don`t it ???
:-)
getting there,,,, just a few more wires,,, a bit more of a play with the fuel system,,, & i`m making a new set of extractors for the old girl
then hope like sh!t that it actually runs :-)
Edit--> oh & IWMAC has banned my tyres, so i`ll be trying to sort some yoko 175x50x13 A048R specs as soon as i can afford them :-(
