Why a mid week test & tune ?
FROSTY ·
Hi Stanley, 16th should be OK, i will let you know in the next few days, also be good to see Matt there too.
Hi Pete, Mid week seems to be less bussy and no bike clubs.
Talk soon

I'm happy to go anytime but would rather make a night of it with more volksies.
Mid week suits me because I can tow car to work and am only 5mins away.

At this stage it looks like Wednesday the 16th is the go for anyone interested.
Would be nice to get few volksies out there.

16th sounds good. Col and I with the Fruit Loop. Midweek so it's not so busy.👍

Who's in? I did something yesterday I haven't done after Warwick before I started the car. Changed the plugs and I'm good to go
FROSTY ·
Hey Stanley, I gave mine a wash over the weekend, just need to put it on the trailer and I'm good to go. See you there.

Stanley ·

Thanks for the offer col, i could grab johns trailer from out there but have no time this week to do it. I have no engine cover anyway.
matberry ·
Don't worry about the cover, if you get pinged, surely they'll just ask for one next time you run.
matberry ·
TNT tonight guy's, hope to see you all there. 🙂
h you want to come down for a look? I'll be leaving early. 🙂

It was a good night.
Stanley had a tappet cover gasket "suck in" on him so no damage.
Frosty ran a best of 13.7 ... he is stoked
The single cab ran a best of 17.2. I am happy with that for what it is (not a drag car)
Matt has some pics, but we will have to wait for them. (hint hint)
It was a whole lot of fun 👍
I did read that my bus when they originally came out took around 37 seconds to reach 60mph, so I guess there has been some improvement

Not a bad night considering
First pass set the shift light to 5000rpm and had the light glowing well before the end of the track so backed off and ran a 12.63 @ 97mph.
Got back to find oil dripping from rocker cover. Fixed what I thought was the problem and went again.
Got to half track smelt oil and shut it off. Pulled rocker cover off and found whole bottom section dragged in. Put it on the trailer but it's still running fine.
good to see a some volksies running especially Marcus and the SC

Nice! Looks like its launching alright! How many runs did everyone get??
coletrickle ·
Not even close low 14's all nite. Couldn't get it to hook up on the kendas?was a full 3/10ths off in the 60,Gonna have to look at some torsion bars/shocks?it was either blowing the tires off or shaking but other than a bit slower than I'd like it's pretty good considering.dangerous wrote:Did Col get into the 12's?
vassy66T1 ·
I had 5 runs.
It was nice and free (not much of a line up at any time)
I could have had 15 runs if I wanted.

By the way, appologies for my camera, I thought the Nikon would have managed the night shots and vid better.....
First vid, Crazy Col far lane vs. Frosty near lane.
