There was only 2 bugs and my replica there last week, but there were a few spectators from here that might bring their cars next time.
I'm pretty sure I can arrange a trophy for something like "best reaction time, VW power", I had a shocker so it won't be me..:thumb

Hi Pete,

Count me in, managed to get out of my meeting so I'm there. Found my boost limiting problem. Too much tension on the wastegate actuator. Now got 15psi, just don't look at the duty cycle of the injectors!
I'm ready to run!!

Cheers Leigh

Hope you make it Dave, would be great to see your new car make a pass.

Pete can't remember what my car weights. I'll have to put it on the weigh bridge here at work. Until then I'll be fiddling with the wastegate to get it setup correctly.

I'll be there about 4ish I think. Last time I arrived at 3 and had to line up at the gate to get registered.
Arrive at the competitors gate, park ur car, grab ur rego papers and licence and line up at the "demountable hut" where u get registered. Then you drive into the pit area for scrutineering. Once thru scrutineering just line up again for ur runs.
We got 4 last time so not bad for $45.

I too will be present 😀
barring floods etc.. was so much fun the other week :thumb look out for the snot green dub parked on the other side of the road in the dirt pile area...
whatever it is. would love to have a drag, but I've deveoped 6 thou of end float from forty million miles of hard driving. also about to do a rebuild, and it would be a shame to screw it up now 😀
decided the best spot was near the start line, below the kebab sellers. more noise, more smoke, more speed... although i spent a while on the grandstand, and over near the rails... all good 😀

very 😀
but if you're worried about the sound levels, don't be. although the dubs were amongst the louder draggers, there were louder ones than stingered dubs. don't quote me. call the buggers if you're worried, but I'd just do it.
see ye there :thumb
