Just want to thank everyone who was involved in organising this great event.
And I would like to give a big thank you to Henry who lent me some slicks they worked a treat.
And also a big thanks to Wayne Penrose for lending me a rotor button so I could give it more revs.
What a terrific weekend
We had problems with the clutch slipping on Sat but it seemed ok on Sun when we changed the rev limiter to rev it more in between gear changes past the power curve.
I had no idea that I would even get close to winning fastest female as there where a lot of girls there.
I'm so happy I did my PB
8.329sec pass
.495 reaction
1.849 60ft
at 83.33MPH what a blast

hey Simon where is my red lolly pop? I only got one of those all week end and it was a green one when it counted at my last qualifying race when I red lit with a .385.
I was excited that I finally have my head around the turbo engine it's only taken me about 40 odd runs.馃お
It's all old school for me I only have a taco and boost gauge to help me.
No MSD 2 step thingy
No staging brake
but I do have rear slicks now thanks to Henry
Just me to get it off the line.
Still only running around 10psi boost so I still have some more in it, if I'm game

Mike, I can assure you that if you and your family or anyone from the VW Drag Racing community in the US was to visit Australia, you will be welcomed and treated with sincere warmth, generosity and friendliness.
The weather, though, is out of my control
Start buying lottery tickets!!!!! - H

Thanks for the photo Essex, mine looks like an off road beetle compared to Ben's!!!

Yeah it sorta closed a massive weekend for me...
Ben's car was doing nice skids and hooking up really nicely after correcting the front brakes... He's done a great job on that car and Morgs was 'a man of many hats' all weekend.
So looking forward to seeing your car run too Barry... Sydney is getting closer!!!!

I have a stringed carrot on a long pole for Ben!!!!
Having said that, I sincerely commend him on his achievements for the relatively short time he has been racing - H

Just remember Ben, old men's bags are bigger and they use the contents sparingly and with thought - H
