WOW!
That is an awesome effort to get it so light,

What's your clutch, gearing and tyre combo if you don't mind me asking? Looks like it works pretty well!

Wayne and i spent many hours on gearing programs and waynes personal knowledge before deciding on the whole gearbox & drivetrain package.It is not
that I am keeping secrets but out of respect to wayne as a close friend, sponsor, and for his business. I would ask that you give wayne a call and
discuss it . I am sure he can build you one to your specific requirements.

I like the hinged rear tail-light flaps that reduce air pressure under the rear guards that all the "team" cars have.
Clever.

it is a clever idea and I also like it , however the credit for this idea must go to Boris and the guys at Vintage as I saw it on their bug .
I just improved it slightly by taking a pic of an L-bug taillamp and printing it as a sticker to make it look more authentic

good (sorry didnt take pics). really looking forward to catching up with people again, all of the team WPVW cars should put on a good show, looking

Well What a great weekend... Heaps of cars , not many breakages , although unfortunately my team-mate Ben was one of them with some engine noises
stopping him continuing. This was my first event with the car afer getting it all Tech inspected and i was over the moon with it .
Started the day with two qual. runs:
1st - 10.546@124.46 (60 ft 1.474)
2nd - 10.768@122.32 (60ft 1.512)
because i was under the time set by craig i elected to run in the top VW shootout not expecting any more than my three runs.
Heats (all with my 10.5 dial in)
1st - 11.485@89.79 (60ft 1.450) win
2nd - 10.537@122.8 (60ft 1.612)win
3rd - 12.129@88.4 (60ft 1.77) win
this put me into the final
11.107@95.49 (60ft 1.417) win
the car performed really well with no problems all weekend for the win in the final to take out the top VW shootout 2012.
I also Received the best engineered trophy.
I must thank all of our team for the weekend, we had a few cars at this meet and without there help it would be impossible to manage and compete the
way we did . Big thanks to Wayne and Ben yet again. I had a great personal result but as a team we had great results also with wayne fastest vw
powered , my car 2nd fastest vw powered,and everybody else all getting new PB's
I caught up with quite a few people that i can now put a face to their names and many of the usualls for a drink and a yarn. all in all a great
turnout and i cant wait for Warwick. I dont have any photos yet i got my brother in law to take pics and as soon as i get them i will post pics and
timesheets
