Big congrats to Dave Butler who won the Mini Jam All Motor class at Willowbank last night.
After consistently progressing through the rounds with extremely accurate racing (eg. 11.431 on 11.43 dial in), he went through to the final against a
14 second Honda. Both Dave and the Honda broke out but dave broke out by less (11.40 on 11.43 dial in) and therefore took the win!
His 11.40 set the new All Motor record - best MPH was around 117 (or 118 from memory) - I'd say there will be other updates in the drag section!
Well done as well to Rod, Morgan and Col for getting out there and racing. Rod's best was a 12.2, Col achieved an awesome 14.87 with his 1600! (must
have been the group effort with weight reductions and streamling (aka masking tape)). Commiserations to Morgan who (I think) threw a rod through the
case which ended his day early.

Well done Dave, was good to see you race again and take the win. Yes Morgan's bug throwing a rod wasn't good but these things happen, Rod's bug is always good to see in the flesh and down the qaurter, Cols car is just mad for what it does with the engine it has, must be all the colours having a weird thermal effect and disrupting the boundary layer of airflow over the car:P. Damo.
Nah Damo - Col's advantage was his "90mph" race tape!
Good work folks :thumb
sweet , question is there a 1600 catergory wats the limits on the motor to take part?
Congrats.

that fast for a 1600 wow standing ovation:thumb
the drags are awsome fun even more so when you grow a mullet, we will be going again shortly i hope to crack 19 next time best fun i have had in my
bus
congrats on the record
Col's 1585 baby monster got plenty of attention with his stickered rear guards and multicolour paint job. Heard a few sniggers about the times he was
doing then i told them the size of the engine and how much it roughly cost him and the snigger soon disappeared.
The funny thing was that the marshalls would come and tell Col when we were next to race after walking right past Dave, Rod and the other well known
all motor competitors!!!!
What a top day...and what a top result for team Dangerous and team Col for that matter.
I've got to hand it to ya Dave, after crewing for ya for a while now you never seem to get too phased. Always happy to talk to anyone who wanders
along and wants to talk volksies. As a matter of fact that goes for all of those who were out racing on the weekend. Great to catch up with everyone
who was there, and although I haven't got a lot to add if you want to learn stuff about how to make a volksy go fast then these are the dudes.
As soon as I dissect my footage from 3 tapes, i'll stick some up on youtube.
Congrats Dave.
Thanks for all the nice words of encouragement.
I am still on "Cloud Nine"!
