52 turbo split mild bug
I finally took the 52 bug to the track, well air strip for our first race in it. We turned the boost down to 12ish, didn't change any tuning. Added
some race fuel & raced old school, didn't use stage brake etc. No burn out. Funny American car with the stick shift on the wrong side  ran a 8.825sec, 1.745 60FT, reaction .387.
the VW drove very good, I only hit the 6300rpm shift light in first , didn't notice until we watch the video.  felt heaps good.

Great first effort Rose. 
I would do the same with LHD!
Probably worth swapping the column and pedals to the other side, if you want to race two cars.
Or better still, get that damn Ian to drive one!

Mike Cummings say, Put your big girl panties on and drive that bug like it should be driven. You are driving it like you are scared it might break.
It will easily do 6's in the 1/8th and 10's in the 1/4.
and I will be doing this in no time at all

It does take a bit of getting used to LHD, normal driving easy but racing you go back to your reflexes. I don't have window winders to worry about at
least!!

WSID Sunday Street Meet 25th Aug 2013
WSID Sunday Street Meet 25th Aug 13
52 Split Bug 1st test run on the 1/4 mile. Temp got to 26* today it was great .
well I took the beast out today the 52 split to have a go and try to get use to the left hand drive my arms a bit short and I'm short bit hard to
reach over to third gear did a 13.095 sec pass on the 1/4 at 185.33K/h Sydney. It likes eating fan belts as well it shredded 2 and flew one of and
flipped it twice. Had 6 runs goes good it is fun when you are able to reach the throttle and 3rd gear correctly.

Hi Ian and Rose,
glad you had a great day out. I was thinking of going as there was a bunch of Subaru guys going and I thought about putting my other flat four down
the track, but did the family thing instead.
Would look funny with the pillow stuffed behind you, I think this is something Ian can work on
