4 Awesome VW drag Cars...!!!!
You have to see Trents.
the Motor cost Him almost $ 60 000 .

yeah great day at the Drags... good to have 4 cars in amongst the Mazdas and others

Don't any of you blokes own a camera???????

sorry about the lack of pics,
we were too busy chatting.
-
Rod Won the Dial Your own bracket in the
Final Against Mike (Stoker car) .
So the final was the two VW's....1st and 2nd.
Well done Guys.
Mike down in the low 10's at present with heaps of sorting still to come.
Rod bumping on the 9.01 sec but sounding rough, with Big Top end Speed.
Trent Managed to get a licensing pass in but appears to have had some engine difficulties - look forward to seeing it again soon.

Rods top speed on saturday night was a new PB of 161 mph.
Also won the trophy for best wheelstand! Ill see if I can get some pics. The reason it sounded rough was because the thing was bouncing off the rev limiter most of the runs.

I only had a couple of images, 2 busy talkin and perving.

The CV Performance car.

Whos that in the Orange Tee shirt holding the pole up

holy crap !!! that CV performance car looks the goods !.

Is it a VW based motor in there ? or do I spy a subaru ?

If Rod ran a 9.01 with 161mph, then the car surely has the power to break his 8.96 world record for A Sedan !!! only a matter of time and tuning I guess.

Is Trent's that grey beetle? What times did it run?
Has the guy got a webpage?

-Cam

Yep thats Trents car,,, looks nice still has to be sorted and i mean sorted...

lots of work and experience to be learnt there.

Put it this way his first run was S L O W

Doug Rod held the world record a few years ago... check out yr old editions of Hot VWs... drag records.

doh, get with the times eh ? hee hee oops

I'll ask again - does anyone know if that is a VW motor or a suby in the grey car ?

slow... We talking 13's?
Must be a pain to set up cars like that. The hook up would be a pain to get right.

ditto... Whats the motor. Spec, etc..?

The car did a launch and poped something in the engine, think it may have been a turbo pipe cracked? Didn't get more than 100' with a roll, first day on the track so that isn't unusual.
BUT I think it might be running this Wednesday night at the street drags so I'm going to have a look. It's powered not by VW but by Pauter(sp). This car looks the goods.

here's a pic of trents car, absolutly immaculate race car, needs some sorting, but he only finished it on saturday apparently. It had a backfire and blew up the plenum on launch first run. Should be at nationals though.

Went out to the drags last night hoping that the CV car would be there, but he must be saving his licensing runs up for the nationals.
Rigoli did an 8.9 in the Subadoo.
I hope that we are better behaved at the nationals than last night.........one wheel burnouts that cross the tree, staging the rear wheels!!!, not staging far enough up. It all wastes lots of time.:thumb

woo hoo !!!! finally some one brought a pauter big block into Australia !!!!!

Does Trent have a website ? or does anyone know the specs ? I've heard that the Pauter motors can go out to 3.6 liters capacity - with the right injection and turbo, that equals HUGE power !!!!!

That CV Performance drag car does it for me.

I love to see well turned out race cars.

My kind of colour too.

I hope it's at the Nationals. I'd like to see some of the engineering and workmanship.

P.S As for the guy in the Orange shirt. I think the pole is holding him up. Dave I just entered the drags for Jak and I.

yeah, although I'm sure if you asked nicely, pauter would do you a set of water cooled heads and barrels with fins.........

would be Very Torquey !

mm... yes asking nicely ($$$) can get you anything if your willing to be persistant enough.

yep, throw a bucket full of $$$ at people and I guess you can get some surprising results......

So Glenn when are you going to have a run on the Drag Strip...

soon as I get my car finished,
New Gearbox, Blower on, and Dyno-ed so I dont Cook it.
