re,result
thanks mate, the buggy i drive is a single seat space frame chassis, a little bigger then a formula vee weighs about 500kgs runs a 1776 , i race for
outright position so the compitition is big from sr20 buggys ,4agze supercharged to wrx'sto old dattos and toyotas and v8's the good thing about my
car is wieght and torque most twin cam and turbo buggy's dont really get going untill there doing 4000 revs by then i'm gone and the tracks are
normally pretty tight which helps me a bit but if there is any straights they will catch me,,,, regards ken ps i'll try and get pic's |

Hey Ken saw some of your times from the W/E and you set some good times. I was looking at some of the the people and cars who did it. It was more like
a state round...I might see you at a round later this year, just to see if I can still drive on dirt as I havent done a event on dirt for over 2
years.
Good result. Nathan

low HP = less wheel spin.........which = good times on dirt.

I hope they get some rain before sunday, the last time I ran in a motorkhana there it was so dusty I had to slow down on the last run so I could see
where I was going.
BTW, love to see some pics of ya car. I was thinking of building something similar myself. What are the specs of the suspension?

Ta, I was thinking of going midmount with a swingaxle box and turbo 1640 Type 3 motor with EFI and water to air intercooler. Not sure now. I already
own the buggy in my avatar, and it has a Subie 2.5L so seems like more sense to get that working better, but who knows I might get sidetracked again.

pete ,i would like to look at your buggy ,a freindwho is racing with me on sunday wants to put a subi in his buggy so would be interesting to look at
yours,, turbo 1640 is a good idea should fly but mid mount traction would be a issue but fun, ken

It's not exactly hard to Subie a buggy, just a bit fiddly. send me an email and maybe we can hook up some time and have a talk about it. Also, if you
look at my website (click on the website button under my post) there's fairly good write up of what I went through and an info page on Subying your
dub as well.
BTW, the reason I was thinking midmount was to make it all about car control. I won't have turning brakes, just a handbrake for both rear wheels and
a welded diff. That way it's all about driving the car by setting it up for corners and then steering with the throttle. :thumb:P

Cyril's car is quite something. I saw it a few years back now. I'm surprised to hear you are that competitive with him. His car is very serious,
especially with the SR20 in it. Keep up the good work. Maybe I'll get up there again some time this year. I have a mate races a datto 1600 PRC car.
