working on customers cars makes it hard to make time for our own cars, but iv decided to get a little more serious now as i have gotten the taste for
drag racing and want to build something a little more drag orientated...... next on the menu, iv decided to get a half cage put in, then im building a
custom rear end support that ties the forks into the cage, also since iv decided to build a new box and upgrade the motor yet again, i dont think im
going to make portland, but hopefully ill be ready for warwick if time and money permits.... possibly even valla, would love to make it there......
hmmmm, beter get cracking 
|
 .......for valla you will need to be able to go round corners
too.......well before that is the nationals supersprint 
so i guess my post Warwick report is that i'm getting ready to go round the corners after the fast stuff in a straight line
|

going, just stick it on the trailer AGAIN

Mmmmm, I seem to remember the tight and curlies of Raleigh raceway, Yes, a must do in any car, it is so much fun.
I just unpacked the bus from Warwick on the week end, and had a big clean up.
Just a thought, on portland, if any one is interested in a car carrier from brisbane to portland, I'll find out $ for different amounts of cars /
busses. PM me.
I'm going to willowbank in the next couple of months to try some different things with the bus

Wayne Penrose told me he had a vid.
Not very exciting to watch,
but brown pants in a couple of spots with no front brakes!
That is, spots on the track, not spots in my shorts.

I've just finished the latest issue of VWMA, so now it's on to the rat. I suspect I have destroyed the SuperDiff. This time Dave will put a Spool
diff in and a Superbug first gear. Hopefully there's no damage to the case or any other internals. The car was strong at Warwick, with Mike Waldron
doing an 8.52 and me an 8.72!
I'm towing the car down to Melbourne for DOTVW in mid-November. There's a large display of drag cars at the show promoting VW Portland for next year
(February 19th-21st).

Wow!
Carnage.
Ben should buy a rev limiter first.
Hope it is not too expensive to fix.
Autometer "pro-control" is an afforable option.
Or an MSD 6AL will give him a CDI ignition, as welll as a rev limiter.
