It was a good night.
Stanley had a tappet cover gasket "suck in" on him so no damage.
Frosty ran a best of 13.7 ... he is stoked
The single cab ran a best of 17.2. I am happy with that for what it is (not a drag car)
Matt has some pics, but we will have to wait for them. (hint hint)
It was a whole lot of fun 👍
I did read that my bus when they originally came out took around 37 seconds to reach 60mph, so I guess there has been some improvement
HEY thanks to all who made it to willow bank tonight I t was good to catch up and meet some more vw friendly faces and always priceless to hear some one on their phone talking about their mates commodore trashed by a vw ! Big thanks for your info and advice Matt and Marcus,and that ride in your car Crazy Cole big thumbs up ! safe travel all .Mick the Crazy German.
First pass set the shift light to 5000rpm and had the light glowing well before the end of the track so backed off and ran a 12.63 @ 97mph.
Got back to find oil dripping from rocker cover. Fixed what I thought was the problem and went again.
Got to half track smelt oil and shut it off. Pulled rocker cover off and found whole bottom section dragged in. Put it on the trailer but it's still running fine.
good to see a some volksies running especially Marcus and the SC
Not even close low 14's all nite. Couldn't get it to hook up on the kendas?was a full 3/10ths off in the 60,Gonna have to look at some torsion bars/shocks?it was either blowing the tires off or shaking but other than a bit slower than I'd like it's pretty good considering.
Hey what a good night and great to catch up with you guys, I had my best ever time

Geez Stanley, the car seems to be almost sorted!
Who were you running against in the pic?

BTW Frosty why build your engine?
Was it "who built your engine?"
Me... Dave Butler did the machining for me( and heaps of tips/advise) and it is seriously budget home job.
I'll refresh my post in "members rides"
Thanks
