Huh?

Hardly ever went off the track compared to others. The dirt on my car was from the driveway.

Apart from my final laps i only actually went off the track once. There were beetles that went off more then buggies.

stop using the dirt as an excuse for your poor lap times 🙂 maybe you should be out there to have some fun like everyone else and stop being one of those guys with such poor sportsmanship.

Had a great day on the track. Thanks to all the organisers and everyone who made the day possible.

I had a ball as a spectator on both days.
Anyone got a front sway bar?

vassy66T1 · 1 Aug 2010, 8:24 pm

I've got one I can lend you Dave. That would be entertaining!

thanx for your efforts both in the car and out

VDU.88A · 4 Aug 2010, 5:18 pm

Had a great 2 days racing. Had a few spins but managed not to hit anything. I think its time i stop thrashing my street car and build a real racer. Watch for number 54 next valla. A big thanks to the VRA guys to Jan and the other officials in the tower for the timing and behind the scenes work.
Thanks Luke for doing what you do to keep the event running smoothly over the 2 days

Will see what pics the missus got of the 2 days and post them up soon.

sander288 · 4 Aug 2010, 10:26 pm

results table.......

PAZZAN · 17 Aug 2010, 6:23 pm

still got it Jeff 👍

hellbugged · 17 Aug 2010, 6:41 pm

yeah, he's keen as and will most likely make the trek to Wakefield 2011 with a MUCH improved set up 👍

new and better suited tyres number one on the list Paul..........they are absolutely fried now 😀

wound the boost back up another 6psi on the 2nd day and it was heaps quicker.....running up towards the limiter in 2nd gear was no longer an option between corners, wasting that gear heaps quicker

air ducts were done on the front brakes with rears set to go. going to wilwood 4 pots, kombi master, BIG wings and under trays........still just stoked with the 3 of us floggin it all day and getting it back on the trailer AOK.......didn't turn it off for the stint so finally it's time to do all those things that seemed like "dreaming"

PAZZAN · 17 Aug 2010, 6:46 pm

good stuff be good to see Jeff fired up again and also good to see the notch run to its full potential🤪

PAZZAN · 17 Aug 2010, 6:47 pm

any videos yet

hellbugged · 17 Aug 2010, 6:57 pm

there was "official" video taken all day..........still waiting on them to get it all in order for us

76bug · 18 Aug 2010, 8:47 am

so how much boost were u running on the notch damien?

hellbugged · 18 Aug 2010, 9:05 am

18psi till the last 2 runs when we went to 20 and then 24

76bug · 18 Aug 2010, 9:10 am

what turbo are you running again?

hellbugged · 18 Aug 2010, 9:17 am

vf 30

Difference from 18 -20 was very very nice as was stepping to 22

Moving to 24 didnt produce as ouch improvment, so looks like 22psi is the limit of its efficiency

76bug · 18 Aug 2010, 9:20 am

yeah 24psi would be a vf30 killer, be careful of those pistons to 😎

hellbugged · 18 Aug 2010, 9:50 am

yeah i hear ya but not too concerned when the replacement is oxy boxer efi supercharged

hellbugged · 18 Aug 2010, 9:54 am

and thanx for the interest, doesnt seem to be much around here lately

Always keen to bounce ideas around

PAZZAN · 18 Aug 2010, 6:12 pm

interesting I have the old wasserboxer motor out of my van sitting here 👍

matberry · 18 Aug 2010, 7:55 pm

Yeah, over 20 psi they start to liven up....reminds me of my old waterpumper...Mk1, Haltech, Gti head with 23 lb ..... 🙂

LIFE IN THE LOW LANE · 19 Aug 2010, 5:47 pm

By looking at the times the Rapier formula Vee was quickest? Not much of a gap back to the regular hillclimbers. Would of loved to be there but alas work had to get in the way this year..........
