I am in the middle of prepping my car for a test this Friday evening the 14 th of Dec .

I have made a few changes to the car and will endevour to break into the 8 second zone if all goes well .

The crew from VVWS will also be testing the car that apparently now has a new paint job . I have no idea of what it looks like so this will be a bit of a surprise .

This will be my last run with this power level as on the following Monday I am back on the dyno to up the power level a little .

Gates open @ 4.30 pm ,
Testing from 6.00 pm - 10.00 pm
cost is $ 20 , ROD.

Is the rear wing painted like a BBQ so when it catches fire it adds to the effect lol

And does it have portraits of you Dave and Boris on the doors? Hahaha

That'll give westi ideas for the next incarnation of the junka hahahaha
