I have unloaded the car out of the trailer last Friday , removed the engine and dismantled it for an inspection last weekend . All looks good so I have re-assembled the engine and re-installed it and I have entered the Test day this Saturday . This will be the first 1/4 mile run for the new car so I will see how it goes with the new throttle shaft I broke @ Warwick . Dave and Mike with the LMS car will also be there so it may be a worth a look if you are doing nothing better . Gates open @ 9.00 am , racing from 11.00 am until 8.00 pm with a $ 20 entry charge . I hope to see a few VW enthusiasts there , ROD.
Wish i could be there keep us posted!!

Mike and Dave are happy. They had three runs with a few issues, however managed a 10.1 @ 141mph on the third run. They were looking for a 9 on the
fourth, with a good track and temps. Miike however had to shut it down after detecting a noise during the burn-out. Turned out the super charger was
lifting off.
Mike got some gopro footage so hopefully he can work out how to upload it!
Good numbers from all. Thanks for sharing John n Ben
shame we couldnt do that road trip JW
Finished with a 9.2@140mph.
What an awesome day!!!!! Cant wait to do it again.ill upload the videos tonight
