One of my spy's down in Adelaide(thanks Dave!) told me about this car many years ago when Lou was still around.
He was a real local legend, and all round good-guy.
Amazing thing about this car is that it sports a split case tranny from a Tempo Matador(1940's FWD mini truck with VW drivetrain) ,
with factory ZF limited slip diff.
Great stuff from the old days, & nice to see it being re-done.

With the increased enthuisasm back in the drag scene it would be good to see some morer cars competiting in the Sport compact series. There is only so
much one can stand watching one "furry sik maate" rotary after another go down the strip.....

Hard to compete in anything in SA as we dont even have a strip!
Sad really as we have so many cool and fast cars here and nobody gets to use them apart from events like warwick and portland.

Heath,you had better keep 9th March free and come to the 3rd round of the Tri Series meet here at Whyalla.We have spent big dollars in the last 6
months sprucing the place up with a new staging area and bitumen thru the pits.It's an 1/8th mile track,but plenty of cars doing low 5 second passes
and generally get a very good turn out of cars.Sadly yet no VW's,so I am doing my bit to change that.

Just heard from secret agent "B4" in Adelaide,
Mike Adi ran a 7.4@91mph at the Mildura 1/8 mile drags.
Awesome ride for a 1600cc car with such a short wheel base.
Wallaceracing says 11.6 @ around 113 mph for the 1/4!
Coool!

He bought it up for a run yesterday.I didn't see it stage for the first run and as he did his burn out,it was hidden behind some tow cars,the noise
was awesome-then it appeared and I couldn't believe how loud it was.He was into the high 7's,but was having trouble getting it to hook up just
right.They played with pressures and launch RPM.It has no rear suspension,so it's a lot of experimenting,and he also reckons that it's a whole new
world for him.I was impressed with his efforts.
