if we get enough VW we can run in a group or I would rather race the other cars 馃槉
$55 buck is a cheap day out
even if it a bit of a test and tune.

rose sent a email and they said.

Hello Rose

If you like this Sunday if you have enough Cars we can put a lane aside for the VW Club and that way you can run against each other, If you wish to take this up just let me no and about how many cars and we will get it all organised for you.

Lee has run a LOW 12

shokwave2 路

I ran in the 16's. Clutch slipping in every gear and running on 3 cylinders one race 馃槧 I guess that's what happens when you race a 2054cc with a 50 year old stock gearbox. Will upload my videso soon. My time slips say i won 2 out of 4 races, considering i wasn't in the lane with the other VW's. I was stuck in the lane with the V6's and turbos. 馃槀

Wow, that's awesome, well done Lee, new bits obviously worked. That's one fast streeter. 馃檪

shokwave2 路

Here's my 2nd run, my first win against a Honda Civic. Pity about the clutch slip.

Awesome runs Rose!
How did everyone else go?

SuperOwen 路

Got some good launches and improved mph. ET only 12.2 due to some poor shifts etc etc. lots of wheelie and confirmed I'm tripping 60ft with back wheels. stuffed one launch and got best 60 of the day, 1.7 as the wheels were down. 1.8 on back wheels

vw59 路

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the kind words. We all had a great time yesterday, lots of laughs and fun had in our pit area. Got a total of eight runs yesterday and the weather was fantastic (sorry Craig, you were 7 days too early with the weather).
Yes I鈥檓 very happy with the cars setup so far, I can now drive the car off the line without fear of trashing a gearbox. Which I was always worried about in the past as I had to get the car home at the end of the day. A big thanks to Dave Butler (Dangerous) for the bus gearbox assembly and advice.
The car ran it鈥檚 PB yesterday of 12.425 @ 111.28. The most technical thing we did all day was bolt on my taller street tyres after a few runs. Again the car is still undynoed and mixtures are still fat and safe.
I put the car over the weight bridge at WSID and it comes in at 958kg with me included, which is why I鈥檓 struggling with 60ft鈥檚 on street tyres. The best 60fter I could manage was a high 1.8 second.
Very happy with the current setup considering it is no feather weight and it鈥檚 primarily a street car, that鈥檚 occasionally raced & driven everywhere.
Big thanks to Boris & Wayne F for coming out to give support on the day and to everyone else who raced. Thanks for the great day.

Cheers Leigh

Hi all,

they are some great times and you should all be very happy with them, I think. I would loved to have been there, but had a relative from Qld down and had to catch up. I had told her 2 months ago not the weekend of the 29th June, so we made it a week later and you know the rest 馃槩馃槩馃槩 Bugger.

Again I wish I could have been there for the action and added support, Kev
