JAMBOREE UPDATE....

dangerous · 2005-09-18T08:00:03+00:00

Well, I was out first round with a 11.70@112.33 break out on a 11.77 dial in. I needed a backup for my 11.66 record but the Honda got it at 11.54.....I may have got the record for the speed but will have to confirm that since the Honda may still be racing as I write. Roddy went to the second round with a 12.43@106 on a 12.50 dial in. Pete had a prob with the chop top last night in the last qualifyer and couldn't return for first round. I dont know how the 20b Kombi went, and I think wally broke out first round.

Hound dog had a 96.5 X 88 scat cased, Autocraft head engine.
He ran a best of 10.71@124.
Car was 1600lbs(730kg) so would be too light for our All Motor rules.
The gossip is that he will return soon.
I will chase him up.

There was another car of interest in Qld....Its was a black fastback from memory....It was also run out of Volsrestore if I remember...Where is that one? Henry's old Manx, that Ghia from Melbourne...Mark? Didn't Stan Pobjoy have a Red Drag bug back in the 80's?

Jees....there's enough of the these old cars about that Oz racers could start our own 'nostalgia' series!!!

DUBstalgia!

If it did get weight added to it to compete in the all motor category would it still run a sub 11? Also whats the differences between all motor and ss/c ?

ss/c is just NA 4 cyl, DYO no other rules apart from applicable andra safety rules. But you run against v8's mostly.

testing 1 2 3...

That honda is running wheelie bars . I know that the pro sport fwd doesnt allow wheelie bars . Does all motor allow wheelie bars or has there been another rule change ?

The fastback was Wally Penboss' car before his current beetle
and is sitting idle in a guys garage as a roller.
Henrys Manx is sold and now on the street.
Marks Ghia is now complete with 2442cc EFI turbo combo just
needing final dyno tune....oh, and a track to race on.
The red bug was sponsored by Stan and owned
by Peter Greenham. It is now convered back to a daily driver.
It was owned by Peter Richards, and before him Henry
used the car as early as the seventies. A record holder I believe.
Yes, hound dog should run in the tens, even with
the weight added.
But as I have found theory is one thing....
