Well done guys really good mph, 👍blue vizion wrote:Mike and Dave are happy. They had three runs with a few issues, however managed a 10.1 @ 141mph on the third run. They were looking for a 9 on the fourth, with a good track and temps. Miike however had to shut it down after detecting a noise during the burn-out. Turned out the super charger was lifting off.
Mike got some gopro footage so hopefully he can work out how to upload it!
Cheers Col

Had a good day, some interesting moments, but happy with the mph on the third run for a lazy mid track.
Broke the top off the shifter on first run, n something not right with shift light.
2nd run checking out shift light n screwed up 3rd gear shift.
3rd run tapped over shift light n had a ok run. 10.1 @ 141
4th run big burnout n shut it down, turn's out Blower had come loose.
Got some footage will try to post thru the week

Good to see your reliable a with the gearchanges.
Maybe we should get the polack to run you through it .
There must be something you are doing wrong he can help with.
See the car ? Your gona wish u had a second charger.
Your Gona need it .lol.
Maybe you should practice the changes more. And sling shit less.
I know it's not as much fun.
Maybe Burchall can so you.

Damo , thanks for the link . Ben has loaded a lot of really good footage from inside and outside of the car onto my computer and he will try to post it at the end of the week . I am still going through all of the data and am looking at all of the parameters as the motec guy was at the track on the day to re-program and sync all of the sensors . I will try and do a quick de-brief in a couple of days time with some of the technical stuff , but I am pretty happy with the cars performance at this stage . All I am doing is driving the car a little harder each time down the track and the times will start to drop . The fastest time to the 1/8 mile was 5.85 @ 120 mph and full track was a 9.23 @ 141 mph . I am still only @ low boost and no timing so it is still a pretty mild tune I have in it at the moment . The car tracks very straight all the way down the track and it is very easy to drive . the smoke from the rear of the car is from a tyre rubbing on the bodywork at speed . This is hard for me to believe but I have approx. 40 mm of tyre clearance as the car stands and by half track the clearance is zero . Morgan started adjusting the rear shocks to make them a bit stiffer and I kept increasing the ride height at the rear until I have sufficient clearance to stop the tyre from rubbing . A big thanks must go the Morgan and Ben for the crewing duties as this made it so easy for me to concentrate on driving , so thanks boys , ROD.
More boost + More fuel = More power

Well done Rod.👍
The 'wing' seems to be working......maybe too well, by the look of the 'tyre rubbing'.
Cheers, Greg

I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!
