I am in, will enter today.
Then just need an engine!

Where's your engine Dave??

In a million pieces on the floor!
Out for inspection and some oiling mods so I can go back to my ACE20 oil.

Not VW but my buddy has entered and was looking forward to saying hello to some of the vw regulars he has met over the years. He doesn't have a big crew behind him and is totally approachable so don't be afraid to stop and say "g'day Phil"

His little Honda is wicked as!!

Is Wally in?

I'm in, going to enter as soon as I've been on the Dyno...

Daimo the Honda s600 is one of the best presented cars and is one of my all time favourites!!

Still going/been to the dyno yet Dave?

One more sleep until Jambo.

This year Dave Butler and myself are racing All Motor (AM) and Dave Richardson (Turbo buggy) and Wally Penboss (turbo beetle) are racing in Modified Compact (MC).

Good luck to all and safe racing. Stay tuned for results. We'll post results here (and VW Drag Racing Australia on FB)

My best for the day. Everybody went well but also had their share of issues but will let them comment.

Did dangerous get a run in today?

Yes...10.95 from memory not sure on the MPH. Was a good run following early dramas...damn electronicals.

Sounds like an eventful but good day by most.....

Dave did a 10.81 at 124mph, Wally ran a 10.23 at 142.5mph after push rod damage and red light in first round, Dave's buggy went a few rounds with a best of 11.1 I think with a back off to avoid break out with a dial in of 10.99, pretty good day

Dave r ended up with a 10.99 on a 10.85 dial in but lost the race. Both driver and car had issues over the weekend but both were back on song by the end of the day! Track prep was so good the car bogged down bad on launch if there wasn't enough boost. Big learning curve with all the issues but I'll let Dave fill it all in as he could probably explain it better!

The only place I have seen more rice cookers was in a market place in Japan! Great to see the vw guys run though!

well done guys, keep the vw flag flying

Another one:

well done Dave ..... car looks & sounds strong 👍👍 love your vids & the front view pic with wheels up high !!

Nice vids Dave, thanks for posting them up

Oh Yeah...

Hey Guy's, Just wan't to start by thanking my awesome crew who made it possible to run Jambo on the week end. We managed 3 qualifyers on Sat starting off with a 11.7 @ 114 and was not pleased with the lack of power from the conservitive 12 psi tune we had. Checked some data on the new Innovate LM-2, found 0.6 to low 0.7's on the lambda and the egt's looked stable right through the run seeing max 740 ish deg/c. Aaaron checked the maps for more boost in the Microtech and gave us the green light to increase to 14 psi. This run was much better getting off the line better running 11.1 @ 118. Happy with the data from that run I got greedy and went for the old 18 psi tune for the third run but with the new injectors flowing more than the old ones we are assuming it was to rich as I forgot to record the run. It layed over when it switched into the 18 psi map, slowest all day 11.7 @ 114.

Had a think over night and we decided to wind the boost back a bit so it didn't switch into the richer maps. My driving skill some what returned on race day and had a good first race with much better launch, 1.47 60', 6.80 1/8 @ 100 and 11.1 on 10.99 dail in = win. Had to back off early so going off 1/8th mile times dropped the dail in to 10.85. Second run got real lucky with my opponent red lighting, I bogged the start and ran 11.4 on the 10.85. Quarter finals was my last run of the day and was my best until I watched the footage and found I backed off way early and prob could have won if I had stayed in it all the way. How ever It did run back into the 10's with a 10.99 but Mph was down and I now know why.

Thanks again to every one Involved in preping my car, Dave Butler for his assistance, Aaron Robert's for flowing my Injectors and all the track side support, Matty at PITS for his dynoing and the boys Matty, Mick, Mad Ash and Dad for all thier help.

I'm working on a comp vid now stay tuned......

Cheers Dave!

Top weekend...thanks to all who supported, helped and dropped by.

Great weekend all round 👍

Why does the buggy switch maps rather than just move up into higher load sites when you up the boost?
