Hi Adele

congrats for you and all others.
I have seen that you run competition Elm. , the index times are very bad for Käfer . Why don't you race in proet ?

Hi Udo,

I run Comp Elim because I don't enjoy bracket
racing anymore I prefer to go as quick as possible everytime!
 With comp elim we don't have that many cars that are successful in this class
and use it more as a test class. We also get slightly
more runs, 13 qualifying runs in total over 4 days
racing.

Thanks to all the congrats, on way home now still got
another hour to up but so worth it!

Been following this on Eurodragster.

Well done Adele for the Win and the PB.

Also Matt Attwood made the final of ProET in his Supercharged Rover V8 Fasty.

The event sounds awesome.

Wow what a weekend,

As per usual there was a normal thrash before the meeting, fitting a new alternator meant i had to re do the mounts for that and the fuel pump.

I was also trying to get my 2 step working properly as its never done the job properly.

After chatting to the guys who mapped the car, they told me how to set up the 2 step. Chuff me that thing hits hard now, The car launch's with 28 psi of boost now, and builds it really fast.
The new aero parts have really made the car stable at the top, it not trying to lift now at all.

he only unfortunate thing that happend was i had a damaged rocker on my 9 sec run, the egt's show that cylinder was way down. and i must say it didn't feel as if it was hitting as hard in 3rd and 4Th.

So i ended up having a great time, running against good friends, drinking too much and running a 9.86 on a sick motor.

come home early due to the sick motor and then head off the coast with my new little girl Amber to show here the sea for the first time!

Good times.

Man i love racing Wink
