VW paradise and BRE vids. (nitro!!)

shiftyvw - March 13th, 2006 at 06:03 PM

Heres a couple of videos i found that people might be interested in, Ive seen the VW paradise run before but never the BRE car. Its only a launch and shut off but well worth watching. Make sure you turn the volume up!!

Man how is the roar of the BRE rail when it launches - fantastic!

Holy Snappin Duck Do do!!!!
That BRE machine sounds unbelieveable!
The Lauffers (VW Paradise dragster) are just plain nuts too.... That digger is a sight to watch... I can recommend to everyone to head over to the US, just to see that thing run!
And hows this shot I have attached!.... The bloody thing is sitting on a trolley jack!
I bet if it fell off the jack it would do one hell of a burnout....
Right before it went throught the back wall of the garage

Nuts!

Holy crap - that is game - I guess they know what they are doing though to build a machine like that :o

Yeah i dont know about the trolley jack...
If if you ever go to see the fuelers at the drags watch the warm up in the pits where the blip the throttle, Ive seen one jump off the ground on the stand!

Judging by the grimous and the fact that he's cupped his eardrum, Id say that dude on the right has just perforated his.....
Based on what i saw in that BRE vid.... I would you say he's a tad close to the exhaust!!!
Did you see the flames they where pushing out.... Just like the big boys do....

But with less cylinders of course!

Awesome, just awesome..... love a fueller of any kind, but can honestly say thats the first 4 cyl fueller I've ever seen.

Very nice.....

Cheers, it's coming back out in the next few weeks, i'm fitting a data logger and a few new bits (uprated turbo, Turbosmart pro 48 wastegate etc) so we should see some better times from it this year, and then the BRE will be fitted later in the year!

Is the BRE motor going to be an alcohol turbo setup in the t34?

I watched the BRE vs Paridise express race in Ga this spring,you are all correct,the BRE is the loudest VW I ever heard!!!When they switch that motor from alcohol to nitro and blip the throttle,it's downright scarry.

p.s. If you want to see the whole set of video's check out SEVWA or VRN(volkswagen racing news) they were the ones taping the show,see ya all later

humpty - May 31st, 2006 at 09:10 PM

Cheers for the heads-up dragvw2180.... I have grabbed all those vids..... always on the lookout for more cool drag vids..... RWYB cars aren't really much chop IMHO.... I like to see the big guns strutting... I have found a fair bit from the old Carlsbad track .... Man that was a cool strip.... Anymore news from the current drag season in the US?.... Sacto was on last weekend.... Any news from there?

dragvw2180 - June 1st, 2006 at 02:35 AM
