what a great weekend drag racing had improvements with each run. Still learning the msd 2 step for the first time ever.
First time I've done a burn out what fun is that. Heaps of room for improvement. Last run leaking oil out of the tappet gasket onto the exhaust.

Best time I managed in becs type 3 Auto wagon was a 7.35 @ 102mph
Not bad for a streeter with type1 cv's and running 225x 35x18 tyres, with about 20mm side wall 😂😂
Thinking of heading out to willow bank soon as im keen to see the changes I made to the tune but didn't get to try because of the alternator issues today.

hey there,
Very happy with the outcome but it was a bit trying to get there, fuel pump, pressure regulator and a battery that died 10 mins before 1st round. Gave it everything for the final and was .022 off my dial in but Matt killed me in reaction time. Good work man (grudge match next year?)
Thanks everyone I had a blast..now to get the gravel out of the car.

Nothing caught gravel like Scott's Porsche powered splitty!! Major sweep out after each run lol!!! Considering he got it running At about 11-11:30am Saturday morning and drove straight to Warwick, unloaded the car and the first time he drove it was down the track and it went really nice and straight!! Engine hasn't run for roughly 10 years and has been sitting on a shelf all that time till this weekend. The only thing he did to the bus all weekend was adjusted rear tyre pressures and then adjust rear airbag pressures due to extra grip with tyres not having 30psi in them hahaha. Ran a best of 8.80@76mph with a best 60ft of 1.77. Not bad for a car built from scratch in just on 16 weeks!! A lot of little things will be finished or fixed then he wants a run over the qtr mile!! His aim is to have the car totally finished ready to race at Sydney in feb. a lot of people had their doubts you could do it Scotty but I knew you'd do it!! Even if it nearly killed you and ended divorce threats hahahahahaha

Great to see VWs running so good down under! I'm glad everyone had a safe race. I look forward to watching more from the other side of the planet.

Did anyone happen to get a pic of me and Ben Robinson racing?
LIFE IN THE LOW LANE ·
I was talking with Aaron Roberts about how the times to qualify for top 8 have dropped in the last few years!! A sub 8 was quick enough to make it now its a sub 7 to make the field!! Lots of fast cars just getting quicker and quicker!!
HappyDaze ·
Looks like a good time [and fast time] was had by all.....but there doesn't seem to be any corners on that track? 😂

I had 9 runs in total over the 2 days.
Apart from a puncture on Saturday afternoon, some shifter issues, the car ran great
Best run was on the Sunday against Ben Robinson, 7.134 @ 96.63mph, 1.434 60 foot, 0.150 reaction time,
Had a great weekend, worth the drive.
Thanks Craig, all the entrants & the Warwick track guys. Cheers

Just got back from Warwick last night, and after hitting two kangaroos and a very scary near miss with a emu, glad to make it back. Big thanks to Craig and the Warwick crew for a great weekend, also congrats to Matt Berry and Frosty for a well deserved air cooled final

Hi
Had great weekend and a good trip back.
I completely fluked the my bracket win, some of my runs I broke out but my competitors red lighted. My car was running .2 of second quicker during racing than it was in qualifying, not so much the car but me getting the hang of it.
In the final I missed 3rd gear but Lou red lighted which gave me the win

What a great weekend. Thanks to Craig Huges and the Warwick track staff for putting on yet another pearler event.
After thrashing the last couple of days to get a few suspension changes completed, my car went very well all weekend. Apart from a fiddle with the carbs on Sunday morning and topping up the fuel, I hardly touched the car. 🙂. It ran very consistantly and was super easy to drive.
Thanks Frosty for a tight race in the final, I feared I broke out when we crossed the line.....
My best of's for the weekend
R/T .019
