The UK Cal Look DRAG DAY
chunks54 - August 12th, 2009 at 05:26 PM

Hey guys, not sure where to post this but I know a lot of you Au guys are hp freaks so thought you may get a kick out of some photos that I've just had from event photographer Julian Hunt of the 1st Cal Look Drag Day we had over here in the UK earlier this year. They've taken a while to come through as the mags get first pick....

Its also good timing as the there are a further two drag days this year in the UK, one at the end of this month at York raceway, and another the weeke after, again at Santa Pod. If any of you guys happen to be holidaying over here you should come along!

Excellent photos of some excellent dubs - thanks.


OZ Towdster - August 12th, 2009 at 06:20 PM

Great photo's , thanks for sharing them .................................. BUT whats the deal with helmets at the drags over there , some people where e'mm others don't, are they nuts ???


colonel mustard - August 12th, 2009 at 06:30 PM

sick photo's! love the water reflections. crazy if you dont wear a helmet me thinks!


chunks54 - August 12th, 2009 at 07:10 PM

Most cars shown here run 13's and some feel that this is a fairly 'safe' thing to do. But you are right, at the next Drag Day at York helmets are COMPULSORY with all racers (and I always wear a lid anyway).

Thanks
Jamie

What an awesome lineup of cars. Sweet.:yes:


chunks54 - August 12th, 2009 at 09:22 PM

Matt The best person to speak to would be Alex Bruce. I don't have his contact to hand, but sure if you go on their blog:

http://www.jagerbug.com/ 

You'll get a messgae to him through there.

Thanks Reub - love your car btw!


LIFE IN THE LOW LANE - August 12th, 2009 at 10:24 PM

Looks like Fuchs are the flavour of the month!! Some very sweet rides there for sure!


Boostn - August 12th, 2009 at 10:26 PM

Cool pics and some HOT cars!
How fast did some of those turboed cars go, they look pretty serious.


Stanley - August 13th, 2009 at 06:28 AM

Cool pics....I'm with Nick some info on the t'boed cars and any others for that matter.

and.....I might dust off my kilt for Warwick.


VonVintage - August 13th, 2009 at 08:56 AM

OK - now I'm really excited about VW Action !


Turbo54 - August 13th, 2009 at 09:41 AM

Nice pics and nice cars. Hope they go as good as they look. Like the oval in the 3rd post in between the ghia and the orange beetle.
Also as I am a escort / capri nut, any pics of the red mk1 with pro649 on the window. My brother has a mk1 with a BDA head and quad throttle bodies and would love to see it.
Thanks
T54


chunks54 - August 13th, 2009 at 05:33 PM

Sorry turbo54 not got any more pics of the escort... the gold Oval you saw is a low 12's ET car. The turbo cars didn't have a very good day at the pod I have to say! Mine blew up.... Poe in the white one struggled with low 13 passes (the car has run 10's) and Daz in the blue/navy blue 'Aircooled Performance' car had traction issues which sent him WAAAAY past the point of no return and bent his pushrods. Again a 10 second car. Now the two turbo ghias - you know, I haven't a clue what they did? I'll find out. I don't know if you guys get VOlksworld out there? Write up is in the latest issue.

Cheers
Jamie

Stanley, I've been reading your thread with interest, that is an awesome setup you have!


matberry - August 13th, 2009 at 10:29 PM

Thanks for the pics


cam070 - August 14th, 2009 at 12:23 AM

Nice pics. I'm also quite partial to the orange Jagerbug, but that's probably because I had an orange 69 some years back. Would love to see more pics if you have any.


fastnuf - August 14th, 2009 at 03:49 AM

Some great looking Bugs amongst that lot of photos. Thanks Jamie.
