How many guys from here went to the last ones.


speedster356 - September 30th, 2003 at 11:38 AM

There was only 2 bugs and my replica there last week, but there were a few spectators from here that might bring their cars next time.
I'm pretty sure I can arrange a trophy for something like "best reaction time, VW power", I had a shocker so it won't be me..:thumb

Hi Pete,

Count me in, managed to get out of my meeting so I'm there. Found my boost limiting problem. Too much tension on the wastegate actuator. Now got 15psi, just don't look at the duty cycle of the injectors!
I'm ready to run!!

Cheers Leigh

I would love to come and have a run, Just have to get my clutch changed in time


speedster356 - September 30th, 2003 at 09:06 PM

Great Dave, get out in the shed and do it now!:D


Menangler - September 30th, 2003 at 09:08 PM

I would if I had the clutch:thumb


vw59 - October 1st, 2003 at 07:20 AM

Hope you make it Dave, would be great to see your new car make a pass.

Pete can't remember what my car weights. I'll have to put it on the weigh bridge here at work. Until then I'll be fiddling with the wastegate to get it setup correctly.

Menangler - October 6th, 2003 at 04:23 PM

The clutch is in:thumb
Every one still going?
what time do you need to be there? I have to come up from Nowra so I will leave in the morning.


speedster356 - October 6th, 2003 at 05:25 PM

I'll be there about 4ish I think. Last time I arrived at 3 and had to line up at the gate to get registered.
Arrive at the competitors gate, park ur car, grab ur rego papers and licence and line up at the "demountable hut" where u get registered. Then you drive into the pit area for scrutineering. Once thru scrutineering just line up again for ur runs.
We got 4 last time so not bad for $45.


vw54 - October 6th, 2003 at 05:30 PM

I will B watching


Peter Leonard - October 6th, 2003 at 09:57 PM

I too will be present :D
barring floods etc.. was so much fun the other week :thumb look out for the snot green dub parked on the other side of the road in the dirt pile area...
whatever it is. would love to have a drag, but I've deveoped 6 thou of end float from forty million miles of hard driving. also about to do a rebuild, and it would be a shame to screw it up now :D
decided the best spot was near the start line, below the kebab sellers. more noise, more smoke, more speed... although i spent a while on the grandstand, and over near the rails... all good :D


Menangler - October 7th, 2003 at 06:19 PM

I forgot to ask, but is it cool to run a stinger?


Peter Leonard - October 7th, 2003 at 06:29 PM

very :D
but if you're worried about the sound levels, don't be. although the dubs were amongst the louder draggers, there were louder ones than stingered dubs. don't quote me. call the buggers if you're worried, but I'd just do it.
see ye there :thumb


vw54 - October 7th, 2003 at 06:42 PM

Beck

I am pretty sure they have the 95db limit.... fit it up and have a run then see if they PING you .... U can always fit the old muffler back on


speedster356 - October 7th, 2003 at 08:12 PM

Chris ran a stinger last time, no problem, he was asked to put his engine cover back on though.:thumb
