what a great weekend drag racing had improvements with each run. Still learning the msd 2 step for the first time ever.
First time I've done a burn out what fun is that. Heaps of room for improvement. Last run leaking oil out of the tappet gasket onto the exhaust.

Big thanks to mark and peter kilby for crewing over the weekend.

Also was great to catch up with everyone again and also meeting new ones.
Thanks also to Warwick track people and Craig Hughes and the countless people behind him.
See you all next year.....

Best time I managed in becs type 3 Auto wagon was a 7.35 @ 102mph
Not bad for a streeter with type1 cv's and running 225x 35x18 tyres, with about 20mm side wall
Thinking of heading out to willow bank soon as im keen to see the changes I made to the tune but didn't get to try because of the alternator issues
today.

hey there,
Very happy with the outcome but it was a bit trying to get there, fuel pump, pressure regulator and a battery that died 10 mins before 1st round. Gave
it everything for the final and was .022 off my dial in but Matt killed me in reaction time. Good work man (grudge match next year?)
Thanks everyone I had a blast..now to get the gravel out of the car.

Nothing caught gravel like Scott's Porsche powered splitty!! Major sweep out after each run lol!!! Considering he got it running At about 11-11:30am
Saturday morning and drove straight to Warwick, unloaded the car and the first time he drove it was down the track and it went really nice and
straight!! Engine hasn't run for roughly 10 years and has been sitting on a shelf all that time till this weekend. The only thing he did to the bus
all weekend was adjusted rear tyre pressures and then adjust rear airbag pressures due to extra grip with tyres not having 30psi in them hahaha. Ran a
best of 8.80@76mph with a best 60ft of 1.77. Not bad for a car built from scratch in just on 16 weeks!! A lot of little things will be finished or
fixed then he wants a run over the qtr mile!! His aim is to have the car totally finished ready to race at Sydney in feb. a lot of people had their
doubts you could do it Scotty but I knew you'd do it!! Even if it nearly killed you and ended divorce threats hahahahahaha

I was talking with Aaron Roberts about how the times to qualify for top 8 have dropped in the last few years!! A sub 8 was quick enough to make it now
its a sub 7 to make the field!! Lots of fast cars just getting quicker and quicker!!

Looks like a good time [and fast time] was had by all.....but there doesn't seem to be any corners on that track?
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

I had 9 runs in total over the 2 days.
Apart from a puncture on Saturday afternoon, some shifter issues, the car ran great
Best run was on the Sunday against Ben Robinson, 7.134 @ 96.63mph, 1.434 60 foot, 0.150 reaction time,
Had a great weekend, worth the drive.
Thanks Craig, all the entrants & the Warwick track guys. Cheers

Just got back from Warwick last night, and after hitting two kangaroos and a very scary near miss with a emu, glad to make it back. Big thanks to
Craig and the Warwick crew for a great weekend, also congrats to Matt Berry and Frosty for a well deserved air cooled final
