12.7 first time out
took my NA powered 57 out to the wednesday night street meet and pulled a 12.7 at
105.9 through the muffler with fan belt on
my sisters pretty standard buggy ran 16.0s, not to bad for her first time at the track.

Well done Adam.
Did you go the fuel injection route again, or back to carbs?
What capacity is this toy?
Cheers,
James C.

Adam,
I'm sure someone here can post the pics for you, If you email them to me I can do it, I'm hangin' to see your green car at full launch!!,
That's a great time in the '57 too, was that with slicks?

Adam,
The engine is now coming together well. The options to make the car faster are either to lighten the car, or turn up the boost. I am going to leave
the car the way it is.
The parts I am now worried about is the LSD, axles and CV joints. Something there will give out first I suspect.
Sorry to hear about the gearbox in the green machine. Are you going to make it to the Nationals this year in either the 57 or the turbo? (Assuming
that they have the drags.)

The NB is about the same difference there is between black and white-it's unreal.Might have to get you to give it a sqirt down the 400 metres for me
to see how good it is.The big bloke would be secretly blown away if you took him for a ride-bet you wouldn't see to much emotion though.Adam-what
happened to the Oval you were doing up for Classic Rallies?Merry Xmas to you and Peter and family-will catch up with you early new year when the new
ute gets here.

still building a car for classic adelaide rally, i'llbe in it for sure next year .its not a oval but a 1500 beetle, navigating for ben this year in
his beetle has me fired up. im turing the green car into a rally car , the ovals goin to be my new turbo street car- its well under way, maybe the
nats at easter but it may be pushing- just a shell at the moment.
yeah Dave i ran slicks for the 12.7 but the car had no bump stops at the time and squated so badly it only used the inside few mills of tyre
also ran 13.0s on very old radials,not even apair, so theirs plenty left in it
