Today at WSID... Jamboree Drag Day . There were Rod , Dave , Boris , and New Guy Trent.
4 Awesome VW drag Cars...!!!!
You have to see Trents.
the Motor cost Him almost $ 60 000 .
sorry about the lack of pics,
we were too busy chatting.
-
Rod Won the Dial Your own bracket in the
Final Against Mike (Stoker car) .
So the final was the two VW's....1st and 2nd.
Well done Guys.
Mike down in the low 10's at present with heaps of sorting still to come.
Rod bumping on the 9.01 sec but sounding rough, with Big Top end Speed.
Trent Managed to get a licensing pass in but appears to have had some engine difficulties - look forward to seeing it again soon.
Rods top speed on saturday night was a new PB of 161 mph.
Also won the trophy for best wheelstand! Ill see if I can get some pics. The reason it sounded rough was because the thing was bouncing off the rev limiter most of the runs.
holy crap !!! that CV performance car looks the goods !.
Is it a VW based motor in there ? or do I spy a subaru ?
If Rod ran a 9.01 with 161mph, then the car surely has the power to break his 8.96 world record for A Sedan !!! only a matter of time and tuning I guess.
Whos that in the Orange Tee shirt holding the pole up
That's the Vintage Vee Dub Supplies resident pole dancer just prior to him going into his routine.
He didn't get many $5 notes stuffed down his jocks that's for sure.

Spyder-WISD 07-09-05 11.6s @ 125 MPH
Speedster-WISD Nats 05 14.4s @ 89 MPH
Jet cruiser-Coogee 22-09-05 900 deg C @ 110,000 rpm
Weaseling out of things is what separates us from the animals....................Except the Weasel.
The car did a launch and poped something in the engine, think it may have been a turbo pipe cracked? Didn't get more than 100' with a roll, first day on the track so that isn't unusual.
BUT I think it might be running this Wednesday night at the street drags so I'm going to have a look. It's powered not by VW but by Pauter(sp). This car looks the goods.
here's a pic of trents car, absolutly immaculate race car, needs some sorting, but he only finished it on saturday apparently. It had a backfire and blew up the plenum on launch first run. Should be at nationals though.
Went out to the drags last night hoping that the CV car would be there, but he must be saving his licensing runs up for the nationals.
Rigoli did an 8.9 in the Subadoo.
I hope that we are better behaved at the nationals than last night.........one wheel burnouts that cross the tree, staging the rear wheels!!!, not staging far enough up. It all wastes lots of time.:thumb

woo hoo !!!! finally some one brought a pauter big block into Australia !!!!!
Does Trent have a website ? or does anyone know the specs ? I've heard that the Pauter motors can go out to 3.6 liters capacity - with the right injection and turbo, that equals HUGE power !!!!!

Yeppers 😀 I think there are a couple of 3.6's getting around the US.
Imagine a 3.6 in your street beetle. Ofcourse, the lack of cooling fins on the heads and barrels might be abit of a hurdle 🙁
