It looks great.
That stable is churning out a few nice cars. All you need is a name. How about WAT Racing?

I don't think Greg is overlooking anything for the future as this is only the start of the journey. And your right about the RPM, and then some.

Yes. Nothing is going 2 change. Why change something that is already a proven package. This chassis with only 130rwhp was capable
of 1.50 around eastern creek and 1.20 around oran park. That in itself is an indication of how good this car is. So suspension will not be changed. In
fact I have applied the same set and package on my new circuit bug thats how good this package is. It is a credit to Paul.
cnfabo - September 16th, 2010 at 06:35 PM
what are the suspension specs....
PAZZAN - September 17th, 2010 at 07:23 PM
HI Nathan I can't take all the credit 4 the cars set-up Jeff from hellbug and I put a lot of thought in to the car set-up its not that different to
the suspension in his 76 green bug hillclimb car I just did some little adjustments to suit my needs ,very keen to see how it goes with more power and
the other mods ...
bat69 - September 21st, 2010 at 08:00 AM
here are a couple of extra photos. The car is pretty much complete now and almost ready to hit the track.
Jak Rizzo - September 21st, 2010 at 01:09 PM
As much as I have always loved Pauls car in white, the new blue paint gives it yet another lease on life. Awesome. Will be great to have Greg out on
the Circuit.
Will he be able to drive it to the track as per his hillclimb car?
I always admired the fact that he drove to the track.
regards
Jak
