Hey guys,
good to hear you all had a great time even with the crappy weather.

Can you fill us in [the people that couldn't make it] on times, who raced, and who did not?
What happened to the new cars?
fastest et?
winners?

Thanks

Wayne wpvw quickest ET of the weekend with a 6.89sec pass.
I think most of the Turbos ran good.
I think that most of the supercharged vw chucked belts, I think the KG got a good top speed even on another shitty run. 120mph.
correct me if i am wrong.

correct me if im wrong, but the engine in the Ghia is from the cab....

Wrong Ghia... they are talking about the CBB Drag Ghia

Rose did about 16 runs
she did a PB time 10.007
We had a good weekend , we may even go down to portland again.

Thanks guys.

I don't blame MIke for not running his car on that track.
Was DB there?
What did Brad run?
The new cars?

DB wasnt there, hes overseas on holiday, not sure about brads car, he had trouble with oil leaks. My fastback ran a little slower this year with traction issues but ran my best MPH at 88.5 so that was cool, now onto the tube chassis car, already got parts on the way..

Dave Stoker sheared the teeth off a blower belt in the pits so never saw the track.

Michael (Nasty) did a shake down/test skid and later a low power launch.

Sauron was running strong, but broke a tranny I think.

Rodney ran his new 198hp engine in his circuit car and ran as hard as Rodney usually does with no breakages iirc.

Unfortunately the Dog was a no show!!!! I have no idea what happened to Ross


In our camp, Tony with his flat black Manx had a new combo, trans by DB and engine by myself.
We broke-in the cam on Thursday before the event, ran sweet all weekend. Fastest Buggy on the day with consistant low 8's and over 80mph all weekend, iirc best of 8.1 @ 84mph. Not bad for a very tight 2276 with 040's and IDA's
My Hillbilly racer was not going to participate, but with the offer from Rodney of some IDA's again, with the help of #1 crewman Ritchie, we thrashed most of the week before the event to swap pans with my baja project to run the huge ZF 4-DS 18 transmission and irs 930 setup.
We made it, arriving later than expected on Sat morning after a week of 3 & 4 hours a night sleep. Car ran ok with a few little issues but came home unbroken after running 8.2 @ 84mph with a best 60 of 1.72 by driving off the line !!!

CLA founder Coletrickle showed up Saturday without a car...somehow his two engine budget managed niether.

Oh and Wayne, those two engines are way too similar !!!!

Vintage car ran flawless all weekend 9 runs top stuff

no spanners were removed from the toolbox LOL

best run was 7.01

Did you eat all that by yourself Dave, i bet you did, didn't you.

yep and it WAS nice

we brought in our Spanish chef especially to cook for us

Drag racing creates a good appetite

No spanners but I did see a computer geek at the Vintage car playing with it

No he didn't eat it all but he had a few helpings it was yummo it's good when you can just sit back and watch someone else cook.

Sounds cool.
how about nash?
that looks awesome
any news?

7.2 ish was my quickest,shit 60ft's though.
i ran 98.--mph and 99.12mph also had a few back off's 88.90.92mph.but i don't have the slip's to match up sixty's and times,typical apprentice,i told him on the weekend the only thing you need to do is clean and keep the sheet's i give you,needless to say the car was clean,don't have anyidea were the time slip's went .ahhhahahah.
