Lone Beetle at Heathcote
Took the LOTR Beetle to Heathcote raceway today for a test n tune only to be met with over 200 hundred entries, usually there is about 40 to 50 cars
running and even the organizers were blown away by the turn up.
I think it was because Calder is closed (due to Tax problems) but I hope it was a one off thing because I paid $50 and got 2 runs. I recon at least
half the field were VL Commodores driven by young men with arabic names, anyway I'm happy because I broke into the 12s with a 12.82 @ 98.54mph and
12.91 @96.61mph.
It was also fun to see those young commodore drivers who had laughed and made fun of the Beetle while in the line up, stop laughing when I beat two of
their mates.
Michael

Thanks guys, 60ft bit slower than Portland 1,61 sec (1.5 sec. at Portland) but 8th mile the same as Portland 8.1 sec, I did have a some wheel spin of
the line, obviously better traction at Portland.
I went by myself and I don't own a video camera so the only pics I took were when I was standing around in the line waiting to have a run. I'm not
sure how to post photos yet but will try.

I have two dates that I have listed in the VWCV club magazine for test and tunes, they are June 21st and July 19th at Heathcote, that gives us 3 1/2
weeks to get our cars ready. Their are certainly a few of us Victorians preparing for Warwick so lets get together and support each other, even if you
don't have a car ready (yet) come along and cheer.

Just a quick reminder that a few of us are heading up to Heathcote this Sunday (21st) for a test n tune. The weather looks like it will be good and if
it isn"t too crowded we can hopefully get some good runs in.
