The Cal-look Lounge

You will now find the Top Races lists here:

(http://cal-look.no/newbutton.jpg)

another racer added to the list!

how i can show my car?  ;)

Welcome to the forum Marko! A good start would be to submit your car. And afterwards we can use the rest of the winter tuning our cars so that we can compete against you  ;D

BeetleBug

 thanks

list updated

A suggestion.... Under the "European top 10"...button... sort in two topics.... a sticky one always at the top "THE European Top 10 list".....and then (at least) one topic below..."discuss the list"....if you see what I mean..

or, maby I should just lock this topic and we can discuss the list in another thread under the same "board" :-D
(updated again with 2 new cars)

still a few open spots on the N/A STREET list, and I have added a BIG GUN!

This is exciting stuff!!  :o

Hi,

just got a hint to this site. It´s cool and I hope that there will be some traffic on it! BTW: I was really surprised to find my car in the top10!
Bye,

Tobi

That was me, Tobi!  ;D I send a pic of Olafs car as well. Do you know if Jürgens time slip of his fastest run is online somewhere?
Cheers,

Georg

Hi Tobi and welcome to the Lounge. Congrats with your place on the Top10 NA Street list! Your car sure looks nice, maybe you could give us some info about it on top of what mentioned in the list?

BeetleBug

Hi BeetleBug,

you get more information about this and other DFL cars on our website http://www.dflvwclub.de

Right now it's only available in German, but we will relaunch the site soon with an english version too. But I guess things like "78,4 mm Oettinger-Kurbelwelle" are understandable, even if you don't speak German.  ;D

And yes, some pictures of our cars (including Tobis) are not up to date.
Cheers,

Georg

Nothing wrong with starting a thread about your car...  after all that's what these forums are for, talking and discussing cool Cal lookers... future plans history or show and tell... we all love to read things like that...  come on..!  :)

How 'bout re-starting the thread on your very own black mo...erfuc..r ?

Well I could do that...soon... have to do some work on it first...   ::)

Here i Gävle Sweden we have a fast beetle!

http://www.alutech.se/?pid=bubblan

Added links to bigger images(link on the images) and time slips (link on ET)

Get him to enter our list JB...  ! ;-)

Who will be on the topp of the list when 06 season is over?
how many new personal best?
I look forward to a new season.

Fritte.

Øyyy... my first post  ;) NICE work guys!!!!!!

Welcome Kormi!

Maybe you could fill us in with some info about your car - 10.93 is for sure a impressive time!

Best rgs
BeetleBug

Sure, but is it possible for you moderator-guys to make a pure CAR/ENGINE-INFO part? A little private thread where we all can drop off some info and pic's of our cars? I like the cal-look.com style where you can click on the cars and view the info...  ;)

Anything is possible, and perhaps a seperate "update info about your car" page in the future would be practical, but for now.. make a thread on your car and lock it? then I can put a link to it behind the picture or something. For now I have a link behind each picture going to a bigger size picture.
The lists are chaning everyday due to a hight number of submissions so please check back to view the lists often.

Hey dudes, can I join in on the list with my 13,49/162 at SCC last year..?

Offcouse Berger, just submit the necessary info + picture to top10@cal-look.no and I will add you to the list

Can't complain 'bout the times in the list, but it ain't easy to read it when I have to scroll not only on the page, but also in the first post. It it ain't possible to make the first post big enough to see all the list at once, I sugest that Bibbe makes a post for each group in the top of this tread.
---
Hmm, taken care of already after a few minutes. Maby I'll wait a little bit longer next time before I speak up  :)

It all depends on the users screen resolution, and I see your point about a thread for each list, if that is what you meant...
But is it not practical to have all the lists together and scroll a bit instead?
What does the loungers say?

Is it possible to get some more info about Jurgens car? It looks SO nice!!

BeetleBug

only in german on http://dfl-vwclub.de/ then click »Unsere Autos«

Don't have the specs but some shots from last season @ BCIR

The white car in the far lane is Olaf's '65

Thanks Georg!

BeetleBug

Ahh dirty details!!  ;)
An the rumours say they will BOTH be at SCC this fall!
  :o

I just planted Leif Nystroms worlds fastest bug on the list, and I can't wait to fill up the last empty spots, who will it be?

What`s happenig here ???? The Norwegians are beeing pushed out of the list  :'( . Some one must be sleeping....let`s wake them up!!  :o

What a NICE top 10 LOOKERS list. i love It.
 ;D

Now we have someting to do at SCC.

I can't wait to update the list when I get back from SCC 2006...
Question is, who will be on it?

Please enlarge the "Look" list......The hobby is not only about timeslips, it is a lot about being among friends.......friends is an ever changing network of people, so we need a lot to choose from....make it top 100 and if that is not enough make it even bigger. Happiness is a Hot VW!! 8)

Well, how bout a giga list... where all ET's and car styles mix together.... where no one gets left behind...

Don't particularly like the sound of the European Top 100 list....   smells of afternoon TV...?!

I'm not even sure it can be done, so don't shot if it's impossible to do...

I'm sure It couldn't hurt to make it a top20 list... BUT.. 100? Whats the point if everyone gets on the list.. gotta have something to aim for...
boost up your engine and try to make it on the list!

yeah -top 20 would be cool with me too. it's kind of sad seeing some really cool cars getting kicked out of the list the last days… :'(

Big gun list is also filled now.. only supercharged left with spaces to fill!
40 submissions in a week, thats pretty good! Too bad for some people they are on the list for only hours until the get squeezed off by someone else.
Gotta race faster this year!

The List's will remain top 10's

But we are looking at the possibility of a never-ending ranking list, fully automatic, to keep the workload down for poor Bibbe!
Unfortunately, he has to make that to so It can take some time... unless there as some web-programmers out there willing to help? 

Hmmmm... I thought the SSB was a looker and has been a looker for years? Did it finally come out of the box or is it misplaced    :)

HAHA, good one Kalle!!

The owner requested BIG GUN... in the mail...  maybe he has great humour...?
Or maybe he just has higher "looker" standards than Cal-look.com   ::)

well I guess that's due to the strict swiss traffic laws... ;D

We have decided to expand the "looker" category to 20 cars for the time being. Other solutions may come further down the road!

great! :D

 8)

Hmm I wonder ???

Does N2O make a Big Gun "supercharged?"

The answer to your question is yes - Nitrous is supercharging.

Best rgs
BeetleBug - who is using naaaaws.

Sorry for the delay, but the LOOKERS list is now a top20 list!
(finally the norwegians are back on the list :-) )

Two questions:
Did Roar Lunde run the fastest time w/out N2O? I see that the speed is higher on the slower time as well.

Couldnt the Skinne car place in the Big Gun supercharged category as well?

Hello Bendik, and welcome to the Lounge!

Roar Lunde did a 11.659 @ 186.05 km/h without the supercharging (NOS)... this got him into the 3 place for the list without supercharging.
When he used the NOS he did a 11.171 @ 196.72 km/h... this got him into the 7th place for the supercharged guys...   8)

Yes, the Skinne car would fit nicely into the Supercharged Big Guns list... but he would have to submit his car to get entered...  :)

There You go I was way too tired, read that as .7 not .17...

we are still one supercharged short... anyone wanna fill the spot? :-D

Things are happening behind the scene... Bibbe is doing some final touches to a fully automatic list... with a complete ranking list!
He is a true mastermind! Stay tuned for a upgraded list functionality  8)

hey

I 'am from french, I am deaf only and my drag tickled pink 80's and you know this car?? 
my picture

thanks liou

hi,
francois from DDK, France
i ran a 12.666 @ 170 kmh on Vichy strip last september
engine is 2279 T1, FK87 cam, AJ Sims heads (044's 42*37.5), scat 82 wedge, H beam eagle 5.5 rods etc
time was with M&H DOT slicks on...
(http://img124.imageshack.us/img124/6069/289jb.jpg)

Hi Francois, welcome!
That put you right up there on 8th place! :-)

THE LIST HAVE BEEN MOVED TO A NEW PAGE, YOU WILL FIND A NEW BUTTON ON YOUR TOP MENU

(http://cal-look.no/newbutton.jpg)

Please don't hold back your submissions even if it doesnt get you on the list right now.
You never know when we expand the lists, or make new ones.. OR make you be able to sort by country? ... Then It would be good to be in our database don't you think? hehe

Also, I hope we can knock out some old ET's this season, I'm waiting for new numbers!

yet another dane ready for the top 20 list...    Rasmus Kirketerp (MIB) with his 2.6L T4 N/A "Blue bulldog" 
1/4 mile - 12.977 sec.....  ON A WET TRACK!!!!!!   
Theres definently more potential in this car - 1. gear was nothing but spinning, and he still managed a 12.977  impressive to say the least!

Any new best ET's out there??  Remember this list is updated as the times come in!

And Rasser, where is Rasmus "entry" email?
REMEMBER TO SEND US A EMAIL TO ENTER THE LISTS :-)
top10@cal-look.no.

yeah.. we still need the pictures! :-)
on new guys that is

I think he will email you pictures and results as soon as he has a ET he is proud of....  I guess 12.977  isn´t enough...   ;D ;D

We finally have 10 racers on the big guns supercharged list...
The new entry jumped right into 3rd place, Mika Mansukoski with his 1776 supercharged engine... nice!

yo!

I ran a 12,67 @ Björkvik Ring, (Sweden) in the summer of 2004. Still got the time slip if it needs to be scanned for "proof". That ought to buy me a ticket to a certain list or...? Car is street legal and on norwegian plates, (sometimes californian blackplates too).

You have email!
reply with the necessary info and I will add you to the list

Mango, you jumped in to 9th position on the list :-)
I hope you can match or drive better this year!

thanx for adding me to the list. Looks great, makes proud!

I'll be doing my best to either climb or stay, this summer with two different cars running the same engine, if that at all is allowed.

(http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/283991.jpg)

Made 11.72-182 with a lousy 1.78 60 ft this weekend.
2387 with berg 52:s / JPM massaged wedgeports. Car is street driven, fan belt on, no race gas, all steel. The clutch is slipping bad so the Kush lock will go in the thrash can.


Applying later when I have some decent pictures

Decent picture??? I`m having a hard believing that you can take a more decent picture tha the one above - SMOKING!!!

Congrats with the fantastic time! I really hope that I will see you and your car at SCC.

Best rgs
BeetleBug

Kalle aka Beetlebug just tossed his old time of 13.340 and jumped in to 10th place with his new time made today 12.730 / 175km/h woha. Congratulations Kalle!

It's fun to see the list is alive... but it seems like people wants to wait with the update until they have achieved "real" improvement...
We encourage you to keep sending in even small improvements, so we can all take part in your progress. 

WOW! seems like in the end of the summer, you'll need a 12 second time slip to get in to the top 20 list. !!!

You bet! There are two fast Swedish cars that haven't applied that is VERY fast. Johannes JPM Persson (low 12:s) and his friend Niklas "Herbie" (11.7:s).

The threshold is moving up fast in Sweden this year!! The question is, can the Danish and the Norwegians catch up???  Exiting times!!

Hello! I ran 12,13/177 last weekend in Orsa, not much of a improvment but maybe it was my last race with "the red one" for a while so please submit it to the list.

Updated with a few new times including Anders Roman, Petter Carlberg and Robert Suominen....

And not to mention the Brits...  or the French... this list will change allright...  But the Big guns might not... :-)

You never know..

Hehe, I was a bit unclear I guess... what I was getting at is that the Big Guns of Scandinavia... are pretty much the Big Guns of the world....

But changes within those lists.. I count on it!!  ;)

Hey racers!

I took the Panther out for a test last Saturday.

(http://www.bug2bug.de/seiten/2006/steelpower/slides/PICT0037.JPG)

Here's the result. First pass was a 11.812 @ 113.07mph, second was 11.613 @ 113.64mph.

Unfortunately, when I headed home in my daily-driver to pick up some beer for the Saturday-night-party, a car crashed into mine. Nobody seriously hurt, but my car is wrecked  >:(

Anyway, everything's fine for the DAS Drag Day #4 in August!  :)

Saludos,
Ole

Hi Ole, I have updated your entry with your new ET and also added your timeslip as a hyperlink.

saludos,
Trond:-)

New player on the Big Gun list, Mauro Cattan from Italy. Just knocked down Anders Lien from the 10th place! Anders will you get back on after SCC?

Congratulazioni con il vostro nuovo ET :-)

 Where's the first Dutchman??  ::)  ;D

Geef uw ons ET dan kunt u zijn hem

 Haha... I was only being sarcastic...  ;D
 Apart from JeePee and Dokke there are no fast Cal-lookers in Holland...  :-[
 

...yet ;)

11.463-183 km/h today, hitting the rev limiter!

I am going to raise the limit on SCC to whatever is needed.

INSANE!!  :o

Updated! 2.place.... Will you pass Arto within SCC? I will definetly watch from the side and cheer

Hello Jon, did you receive my timeslip?

Arto has made better times than me but don't forget the main thing with drag racing:
It is the one that is first to the finish line! I had a best reaction time of 0,032 seconds this weekend an made a holeshot to a faster car.

Hi Tobi, good talking to you at DDD.
It's been soo stressfull the last week, with SCC and all, so I have to ask you to send it again.  :-\
Sorry!!

Jon H

While waiting eagerly for people to send me their ET's from SCC this weekend where some did new personal bests and Anders Roman really rocked, Robert Suominen has sent me his new ET 11.643, 185.820km/h!

I don't remember all the ET's by heart from this weekend so please guys email them to me at top10@cal-look.no

What a weekend! Thanks everyone!

New ET for the super shit box! 11.422 @ 186 km/h, DAS Drag Day #4, Bitburg Raceway.  :)

(http://www.luftkraft.ch/ddd4/62.jpg)

Nice shot!
--updated--

Finally added Jussi to the list with the super ET 11.059, 192.32km/h with a 1.497 60ft

Still waiting for Tobi to come back in the Top 20 list with his 12,94 sec run in Rotenburg! A copy of the timeslip should be with Jon! Any news on this?
Cheers,

Georg

I just searched through my emails and didn't find it. Did you send it top top10 or Jon directly?
Could be a spamfilter kicking in?
Please resend it to top10@cal-look.no and I will offcourse add it as soon as I get it...

I have the ET slip Bibbe, sending it over now!

Updated!

Thanks guys! You seem to run a 12 or you are not in the Top 20 by the end of the year! Crazy!

Hi guys, another swiss contribution to the top20 lookers list  :)

1955 oval, 2276cc, owner Marcel Hofstetter, best ET 12.961 @ 106.13 mph (on street radials), Bitburg 2006
click here for the timeslip http://www.loworange.de/timeslips/dgo02s.jpg

(http://www.luftkraft.ch/dgo/0.jpg)

tasteful piece of VW there

Damn! I`m out of the list...  :'(
Only 4 of 20 is norwegians....that`s a shame!

My old 2276 is now sold....the car is going to get full treatment....

(http://forum.vw2you.com/Public/Uploads/Post-24-5150-P83100092.JPG)

Hi guys! After returning from California I had some updates laying around. So check out the list for a few new/updated ET's

Hi Trond,

I did send Jürgen/DFL's latest timeslip to this address top10@cal-look.no. but no update until today. Did you receive it?
Cheers,

Georg

nothing in my spamfilter either... can you please try again on trond@cal-look.no
thank you :-)

Considering the population and car-cultures/traditions in the countries on these lists, i think we make a pretty damn good apperance man!

The list will soon change, due to the result of the poll I have out on the thread below this one...
Stay tuned for a pure 2006 list! and an all time high list

New update by Jürgen Kirschbaum. New ET 12.427.
Congratulations!

We have a new guy in 3rd place in the Big Gun list, Cuillerier Guillaume with 11.005

Finally I have spent some time splitting the lists into a "This Year's Top Racers" and "All-Time Top Racers".
I have made a new button for the All-Time one and Added it as you can see above.

I might move around on the buttons in the next days, so bare with me please.

I hope this is appreciated for next year when the list for current years starts empty!

Enjoy

now that's great! thanks bibbe!  :D

Better late then never, Mat Sanchez just joined the list :-)

Also added to new guys from France, Erwan and Wally.. Welcome

Being half Spanish it's a miracle I didn't leave it until mañana, again...  ;D

Thanks! :)

Seems people enjoyed the new openings on the list now that one of them is for this year alone.
Neil Andersen from UK was just added :-) and I hear there are more to come. Stay tuned!

What's not to like?? Keep up the good work Bibbe!!

And THANKS

yeah, what's not to like? I like the idea of an "all time high", it sounds cool. Like the list is ten years old, and hell man, I'm on it, haha.

Are there any other suckers on that list running slicks, bone stock gearbox and going 400 miles in the very same car to and from the dragstrip, just changing the rearwheels for streetleaglity?

The first 2006 top 20 list on cal-look.com is finished and the European list both has faster and more cars.
Come on guys, don't be shy, apply for the cal-look.com top 20 and show what continent is the fastest!
Deadline is Dec 15.

Could it be due to cal-look.com strickt rules?

I would say that 95% of the cars here would fit on the other list. Just look at Jürgen Kirschbaum, Kalle Rabben, Tobias Pleines and Nils Gulbrandsen. Really nice lookers that would fit the other list like a glove. Why collecting dash plaques from the 70's that doesn't belong on your car when you can have real ones!

Another beautiful GASSER added to the Big Gun list, FourPlay :-)
Gotta love that car :-D

Even more updates!
This looks very good for next year!

And some more.. with hairdryer this time :-)

 ;D cheers richie,uk

Talking about hairdryers: I you have shaved your head before that run you would have been in the 9:s!

Yeah, blondes can't drive.  ;D

A powerful fart could have had the same result ;-)

Yes, or leave the teapot in the pits  ;) ;D

Or pay Mat Sanches a pound to stand in the pit a blow as hard as he can

You are all very funny guys ;D  but suggesting that sanchez should blow me to help is pushing it to far ;D ;D  I think you will find he charges more than a pound as well :o  cheers richie,uk

 :o

holy moly

The last guy for the year is yet to come?
Just added a new looker from Scotland, Colin Jardine, with his 12.57 run

8) 8) 8) :)

A first change in 2007, but... for an old ET though...
Joe Gallagher added to the big gun list for his run in 2006 resulting in 11.98

No earbly bird racing for 2007? guys? This years list is pretty empty...

FINALLY SOME 2007 ACTION! The guys from Denmark has been rocking "earlier" then others and put them selves in first place for this years list. Theese ET's also put them on the ALL-TIME TOP RACERS list! Nice one guys!

So, who takes the challenge to beat them and fill up the 2007 list!

Racing at Gardermoen Raceway this weekend ended up in some great ET's I've heard.. first guy to report in was Joran Larssen with his car, Fourplay running 11.811 / 178.66

My old heads, carbs and exhaust seems like they still work! Congrats to the 11 sek timeslip Joran!

They work perfectly Roman! Problem is that my gearbox might be a bit to short to make low 11's.

Anyway, the gearbox broke down during the eliminations, but I will work my ass of to get it ready for Bug Run. Cya there :-)

T1 power is back on top - at least on one of the lists. Congrats Jøran!

BB

Maybe you can work on your 60 foot time. What did you get as a best?

The 11,81 @ 178 km/t run had a 1,622 60 foot. My best 60 foot was 1,539, but it ended with a 12,02 @ 175 km/t.

When I desided to go up on my launch RPM, the gearbox broke  :P

But how long ? we will race again Saturday here in Denmark :-)

Some new times again now this time from Roar Lunde in Norway both with and without the juice...

http://cal-look.no/Nitrousbeetle.asf

woha!

The fastest way between two points is said to be a straight line...  but this video shows us that don't need to go in a straight line if you have enough NOS!

It`s really great to see that the race season has started again! This weekend is a race weekend in Finland so hopefully we will have some Fins on the list soon. Also the Danes have a race this weekend... The rubber smoke will cover the Nordics this weekend!

And what about the Brits? When will their cars be back on the list? Hopefully soon!

Results from the Danes

Lindtorp Raceway without track bite
 
John:
60ft 1,65  1/8:  7,447  1/4: 11,708  181,02km/t

Rasmus:
60ft 1,74  1/8:  7,748  1/4:  12,139  175,8 km/t

John

Great!! ;), congrats to John Elnef und "el presidente".....

New ET's added

Jens Boehmig, Bernard Newbury and Ropars Erwann added to the list!

why is the list so empty this year? only 3 lookers -5 big guns and 1 supercharged

come on guys send your timeslips!

Olaf, that would be partially my fault due to beeing away 5 weeks in California and just returned home this weekend.
I have now updated the 5 people that have sent me their new ET's, so the list should be updated now.
It still has lot of room on it though, so guys submit your ET's with all the info I need + a nice photo.

well sorry then trond -i didn't know -keep up the good work!  :)

Hey Trond,

Why did you add me to the Big-guns list?
It's just a street driven registred '67...

And I'm from Belgium, and chimay is located there also.. ;)

Jelle

must be the jetlag  ::)
check back now

Just added a new 1st place! Anders Roman with his 10.977 / 196km/h. wow!

Added Travis Rider with the Inch Pincher IV on 1st place... congrats!

Added Tobias Pleines to the looker list :-)

Wow - those Big Gun cars are getting faster and faster! Congrats to Travis and his Inch Pincher.

Hi Trond,

Why Jussi's time is not in the TOP 20 - LOOKERS timetable??

Thanks,
Pete

Because he has not sent us his new time... I`m sure he will when he has the time.

Best rgs
BeetleBug

Apologies if it says how to elsewhere, how do you submit a car/time? :-\

Submissions, comments & questions are welcome at top10@cal-look.no.

I assume you must have another car in mind other than the Ghia (loose description) which has absolutely nothing to do with Cal-Look?  ::)

Really?

There's beach buggys in them there lists, have you not looked?




It's got big n littles, the right stance and a big motor, what's it missing? ;) ;D


Maybe i was thinking of my Autocraft powered '58. ::)

its a race car yes but its not a cal looker

The Ghia or the '58?

No ones seen the '58 yet so i'm curious how they can have an opinion on it! :-\

I do believe they have your amazing Ghia in mind. Please feel free to send your time and data so that we can put it on the Supercharged Big Gun list. I know that we have lately received quite a few very good times and I reckon we soon will have a updated list.

Best rgs
BB

Will do! :)

Guys, the list is now (finally) updated with some new ET's and new people. I have added like 6 new ET's and there is one more coming as soon as I receive a picture I can use.

Check it out!

Two more, Phil West and Erik Dahlberg added to the lists

A new one added to the list in 10th place. RedEx with a 12.650 run!

Congrats Ben

New addition to the big gun supercharged list!
Bernard Newbury with his 10.001 run.. woha :-)

Thanks a lot. Will work on both car and engine this winter to get a better time next year!

4 new guys added to the list. Well perhaps not new guys, but faster ET's

Olivier Dido
Ropars Erwann
Sebastien Godet
Marcel Hofstetter

List is still not empty, just added Urs Beyeler from Swizerland

thanks Trond  8)

I guess the year is not over yet!
Two more additions...
Hans "Mettis" Anderson in the looker list and Heikki Vaag in the Big Gun list.

Thanks Trond !!!

.. and thanks to MArc to send my time to trond...

Great idea this list !!!!

Really great to see my car in the list... best motivation to go in my garage to work on it, to get the new Trans in ;-)

see you all at the strip next year !!

Probably the last guy this year?
Just added Patrik "Patte" Österberg from Sweden with his 9.410 run from this summer

 :)

Damn it,pushed down the list-it's on now Patrik  ;)

Bring it on Stian ;)

Sorry guys i don't know if this has been said before but can we keep the Top Racers list for every year. Would be good to see how the cars have improved over the years.

hmm so you would be satisfied if you ha a yearly link for example on top of the "top racers" list to choose between earlier years in addition to the current year view showing now?
Or if you have a suggestion to a better solution then please let me know either here on on PM. I'm open for making the adjustments...
The list is very boring the first 3-4 months of every year I agree :-)

What I'm trying to say is that it would be good if we could look back at past years to see how the cars have improved there time.

Yes... and I think a nice idea would be to let you be able to click on previous years (hyperlinks) from this years top racers list... as oppose to make new buttons in the menu...
What do you think?
Perhaps something like this:

Yes that would be cool

just removing your name from the post header, martin, cheers.

Up yours now putting it back. ;D

and again !

why are there no submissions for this season?

I have gotten submissions but haven't gotten around to update yet for various reasons.. I'll try to get it done very shortly!

great! don't rush -i was just wondering  :)

FINALLY - I have updated the list for 2008 with four entries...
Lots of open spots so send in submissions for 2008.
By this fall I will try to make a solution where you can see the previous years also...

More additions to the list!
I know there has been lots of racing this summer so bring it!

It's been forever and I appologize.. but I have now finally updated the list with more racers from 2008
A lot of people missing, so feed me the info I need guys!

Perhaps we have to make a prize for each group winner in 2009?

Hi guys,

Thanks to put me on the list, their is just a small thing, I'm from Belgium and not Germany

Thanks,

Sven

Offcourse you are, I even knew it :-)
Sorry for that

Where?  :P

thanks guys  thankyou mat for sorting that out        8) 8) ;D dave

Chapango!  ;D  :P

Updates made to the list.
Added:

• Neil Anderson
• Jon Hroar Ulstad

Updated with faster ET:

• Jürgen Kirschbaum

The list is updated:
Added:

• Pär Andersson
• Jere "DOODAH" Tapio

Updated with faster ET:

• Jürgen Kirschbaum
• Petter Carlberg

Another addition to the list:

• Tomi Asikainen

Hmm... Tomi Asikainen was in Räyskälä Finland when he drove 12,8 ..... Not in Sweden

Thank you, I have changed it now..
Also added another racer to the big gun supercharged list

• Martin Taylor

What about Skinnes car...didnt it run 9.26@247km ?

Unless they submit it we will newer see it on the list.... :(

Jon has an important point....
We can't keep up with what everyone in europe is driving so we are dependent on submissions. Some people dont even want to "participate" and that needs to be respected so its up 2 each one to submit their times.

Two new guys from Sweden added

• Anders Bergander
• Magnus Östlund

A big gun added to the list

• Heikki Våg

Thanks Trond!

But I`am  from Finland.... not in Sweden  ;)

hehe, I know! :-)
Fixed it now

Thanks Trond!  8)

Small things but...  :D

Did JHU fall out of the list Trond?

He asked to be removed...

I have also added a new racer today

• Heydon Mizon

Added a new racer to the looker list

• Stephan Bangert

To new late listings

• Ropers Erwan
• Jussi Nurmi

I will keep the list for 2008 out until first submission of 2009. Then I will have ready a function for view the previous year or something :-)

Hmm.... Trond....Jussi Nurmi.... I don't know....

Impressive time, no doubt about it, but a Looker? Just a thought...

I agre jussi nurmis car isnt a cal look car, but hey second place in big guns int to bad either.

hehe I was expecting that one as I was a bit uncertain myself. My idea behind it is that its a street legal car with plates...
Not all cars on the top20 are pure blood hardcorde cal-lookers.. so.. where to draw the line...

So, is this the "Street-legal-car-with-plates" lounge or the Cal Look lounge?  ;D

You are right, not all cars on the list are hard core Cal Look, but this car is not even soft core Cal Look, it's just a street legal car with plates...

You know, at times I am unsure about that...  ;)

Unsure about the term "legal"?  :D

Have a nice weekend, Jon!

While you guys discuss this further I have now added another bad boy in the supercharged list.

• Tor Øyvind Skinne

At least one of us is doing his work!  8)

 ;) Have a good one you too, and say hi to Domi!

Is that a golf I see???  well it is water cooled,that must be whats diluting the rest of the cars :o :P :)

cheers richie

 :D :D  ;)

In liquid form or frozen....  what the difference? ;)

 :D  i think it would be difficult to get ice round the radiator and cooling system :P :D

cheers richie

Interesting discussion regarding Jussi Nurmi.

What if you have a car with a perfect paint job, preferably one-tone. Super build finish, beatiful polished wheels, lowered front end, chrome intact, a fast screamer engine..... and a lowered rear end with DOT`s. In other words, a resto looker capable of doing 10`s or 11`s. Would it be a Big Gun?

Best rgs
BB

Hi Karl-Magnus,

it would be just a fast Resto Cal. What about a street legal German Style car? It would be just a fast street legal German Style car.
This is a platform for Cal Look fans and the rules for the Top 20 state:

"Lookers":
VWs with the "look" and licence plates, without any supercharging, NOS or Turbo. Stickers etc. will not exclude anyone from this list.

The "look" is Cal Look, right? Not "fast-car-with-plates" look. IMHO Jussis car should be removed.

Please don't get me wrong, nothing against Jussi or his car, it's just no Cal Looker.
Cheers,

Georg

Maybe we should do a new list, if cal-lookers arent enough for everyone... With a class of "Driveable streetcars" it could be  possible easier, because  every country has different regulations of streetcars.  We could also do a little cruising + filling gasoline from normal gasstations+ highway-driving before raceday so no-one need to wonder if they really work or not in streetuse ;D

If that kind of changes comes, im on!
Or should we all just have shining coloured cars????


BR

Jussi

The reason why "Look" is stated in quotes in the rules is that we didnt want to be as strict as the guys over at cal-look.com.
I think we need to focus less on details (within reasonable limits offcourse) and more on the fun of racing :-)
"The Look" has been through a few decades now and it has changed throughout the years, but lets not start on another "what is cal-look" thread :-)

Trond, we don't have to discuss what Cal Look is. Everybody has his a slightly different opinion about that. But I would bet that no one on here would call Jussi Nurmis car a Cal Looker!

And - if you look at the "rules" for Big Guns:

"Big Guns":
Gassers, buggies, racecars and "Fiats" without supercharging belongs here, with or without licence plates. Even Lookers if they lack licence plates. After all, this is the "Cal-look Lounge" Big Guns says it all, these guys means business!

Sentences might be porely written, but it says Even Lookers if they lack licence plates. After all, this is the "Cal-look Lounge".
So the emphasis is on "even cal-lookers if they are not street legal" will go into the big gun....
I agree with you that it should have relevance that the top20 list is a looker list but my "problem" is where we draw the line for which "box" we put cars in. Its not always an easy job, and I dont want to get fanatic over it. (ref sticker issues on "the other forums list").

Cool idea Jussi!! I like it!! How about meating up with me and cruise with me to Bug Run from say Linköping......two High Po cars side by side on some cool roads, not the E4 comute highway.....maybe make film out of it so all with trailer cars can have an insight on how it feels to use there cars :) When I think of it a liitle more, as people love cars in motion and attracts by hard core actions we would probably end up with a caravan of High Po Volkswagens and that would be cool. Not just having the time slip dimension to look back on, but also the meeting with friends and seing cars in front of you and in the rear view mirror would take the scene one step further. just my 2 cents......................

What a great idea SOB! I`m in!

Sounds like a "Rally Scandinavia" to me :-)

Ok guys, vacation is over! Time to update the race list :-)

Added the following guys:

• Jøran Larssen
• Tobias Pleines
• Sven Goffaux

i wuold like to know why thomas risgards car is on the looker list? (no offense thomas) the car doesnt have headlights and so on. it has an all out race look to me but hey what do i know :)

No need to get worked up, I have probably just made a mistake... I agree it looks like a race car and not a street legal car.
I will look at it more tomorrow and fix it.

dont worry trond just curious why it was on that list. keep up the god work. hope to get on one of the lits myself this year. se you at scc

Changed now :-)

Added the beautiful car of Phil West to the list again :-)

Søren Rasmussen
12.59 Thisted :-)

(http://www.teamangoraracing.dk/download/file.php?id=1136&t=1)

Just added 5 more racers, and updated ET on one!

Did some updates to the list. Added myself  ::) and an improved time on Jøran Larssen.
More to come!

Added Endre Dambo to the list who raced his beautiful 67 for the first time @ SCC.
With a slipping clutch he still managed to squeeze his way down to 13.03.

new PB time fore my to at scc

Cherrs Thomas

dire need to update times as Skinne is faster , Tekken is faster and probably a few others , than the times stated in the list.

The list is based on submissions by the drivers. I have no overview over what people are running throughout a season :-)
That said, there are a few updates waiting to be added, so stay tuned

After the server crash I have had some minor issues with the top racers part that have until now prevented me from updating the list. I really just wanted to focus on getting this and other forums/sites im running up again before fixing and updating this list.
So anyways.. just updated the list with new times and new people :-)

Added Martin Taylor with a very nice 9.86

Could i please add my car to list please? 11.28@116mph,is there any other info needed? thanks nige
(http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj190/56ratovalracer/nige3.jpg)

Look at the lists and please inform me about the info for each column please. Either here, pm or by email.

Thanks

Nigel Hull  UK  11.284  187.64kph  2276ccT1  York raceway UK  August 2009

Big guns,its running gas,is that ok? thanks nige

First off let me appologize for not updating the list in "forever". It won't happen again :-)

Now over to the changes. I have added theese submissions to the lists:

• Jussi
• Paul Bate
• Jeroen/DVK
• Erwann Ropars
• Allan Ostrup
• Thomas Kemp

Before adding 2010 entries I will change the functionality on the lists so previous year can bee viewed when we switch the current list to this years (which means it will look empty to begin with).

Also I might have another surprise later :-)

I noticed Thomas Kemp's car is listed as a 2,9 ltr type 1 engine, but I am pretty sure its 2,9 ltr type 4.

Corrected, thank you!

Should the list be updated with the new personal best for Tor Øyvind Skinne/Jens Petter Brandstorp?

Movie at 5:45 in this clip:

And timeslip with info attached :)

[attachment=2]

i have a question. will the times from bugrun 2010 count? there isnt from what i know any official confirmation that the time gear was faulty.

Good question, I do not recall us receiving any timeslips after BR 2010.

The list have not been updated yet this year even though I have received 8 submissions.
I promise I will improve and the list will be updated shortly, so please submit whatever you have so we can fill up this years lists also :-)
In regards to skinne and others. This list is based on submission. I cannot skim the internet for what is happening all over the world of racing to update based on what I find. Also not everyone would like to be on the list. Therefor we are solely based on racers submitting their own data (or others on accepted behalf).

Thanks

Ok, thanks for the info. I totaly understand that you need submissions to update the list. My request was more like a question on how the system/updates worked :)
By submission is an email/PM required from the owner of the car directly to yourself or is a post like mine in this thread sufficient? (Since the Skinne beetle already is on the list?)

Do you receive the submission for Lady Marmelade or not?

Yes, I did :-) sorry guys I have just been swamped at work and this is on my backlog to update...

Can i allso give my Time for the Top 20 List? How i must do that?
Switzerland has fast Cars too... ;)

Will there be any list this year?

Good question, and the answer is yes... just a bit late ::).
My appologies to everyone that have reported in their times for 2010. There is no excuse... I promise to improve this year.
So, to start off I have updated the race list for 2010 with the submissions that came in last year.

I know there are a lot of stuff going on in different garages this winter, so I know the fight for a spot on the lists in 2011 will be harder!

I have also made the history available going back all the way to SCC 2002 :-)
Just click on "Top Racers" in the menu and then choose the year you would like to view.

Have you recived my mail?

Yes - updating right now... Check back in a few moments

Done,
also added a few more. Magnus Lundgren, Bernard Newbury and John Elnef

First submission of the year added, and what a start it was!
Matt Keene with his 9.563 :-)

What are you trying to say? :-)

Any updates on the Top 20 list?

What top 20 list...... ???

Unable to update until I get home from vacation.
That said, are there any wants/needs for a european/world? Race list?
There os no point keeping it going for 2-3 entries I feel.
Perhaps some prives for winners would help with the interest?

With the racing pretty much done for this year I have sent my times in,along with some other peoples for them,Trond is going to update the All time list and will do this years list if he gets enough interest,so come on everyone,send him your times in and give us something else to talk about over the winter months,the target will be on someones back for next year then,we will all know what we have to aim at to be better ;D


cheers richie

Just added 18 submissions to the lists on different years. Plenty of space.
Help me to make the list active again with submissions :-)

Thankyou for taking the time to do this Trond :)


cheers richie

ET10.498 1.45 198.46 Van Del Park Denmark  ;)

Updated,
what engine size and date for the submission?

Updated with two new racers on the lookers list :-)
Who will be the quicker one next year of the two?

Me

2779 oxy boxer :-)

Thanks

SCC 2012,
 1,37 60, 5,85  202.82 at 1/8 and 8,93 255.32 km/h.  ;D

That is 2779 ccm Trond :-)

Major updates to the lists now.
Hope I got them all? Anyone missing that I have already got a submission from then please let me know.
As you can see there is still lots of space left.
Note this is not a Europe only list so if you wanna be a part of it just submit the info I need.

Thanks

A few more updates done.
Still more spots to fill :-)

did you get my email? :)

Yeah I will update tonight

yay finally wasnt that difficult inthe end lol ::) :D

Danny did you do something to offend Trond?  :o :D I dont see your car on there at all?  or are you waiting until you go quick before adding your name ;D

cheers Richie

hope not  :D

No worries guys, Danny is still on my white list  ;D
I have added him and also a few more for 2012.
In addition I think Mexx is the first person out this year racing?! Either way he is added to the list and is of course now in 1st place.

Jussi Nurmi drove the lisence for dragrace in 2013 FHRA-finals in Finland with his N/A -64 streetbeetle. He got very easy 10.47s 1/4 mile as he borrowed my non-fitting wheeliebars to his car there. There is much more to go when he does his own wheeliebars into this beetle. This same car was in JPM-dynoday last year with a slipping clutch and pulled out only 282hp there.  Now the clutch was ok and he will be back on the track 2014...
He uses also lot of Finnish-raceparts: dogring clutchless gearset + Hestec-injection + raceaxles + R/P , all made in Finland.

Jussi ;D

Was reading back over this yesterday

How things change ;D

Hehe good one!
I have received many submissions that I will update! Thanks guys

Updated now, including some on previous years

Thanks Trond, looks good with so many cars on both N/A lists now if Kalle , Niklas & Mexx would send entries in we could fill the Turbo/nitrous list some more ;D 

talked to Mexx yesterday and reminded him, he said he will do it soon...

So are the lists over on this website now as well?

2017 ticket submitted.

Hopefully I'll improve on it this fall.

[attachment=1][attachment=2]

I'll send in my 2017 ticket soon too - 14.45@93 is fairly repectable!

Nice one Neil :)

Cheers Lee! Stretch asked what tyre pressures I was going to run - I just told him whatever was still in there from the drive down! Great weekend, just two runs but happy with both. Broke a rocker stud on the way home though. :(

[attachment=1]

That's a shame. Check your pushrods as Ron had one slightly bend after something similar

Definitely a 13 sec ticket with a better 60 foot

Lee

It wouldn't surprise me if there's a bent pushrod or two - it went rattly on the motorway on the drive home. I did baby it off the line a bit - the box is a stock 1300 with a superdiff, heavy duty sideplate and '66 short axles, not a fully built race box, but I'd have liked a sub 2-second 60 foot! Smoked a fair bit off the line but I think it's a combination of nothing being really set up, and having to burn off 12 years worth of dust and cobwebs from the carbs!

Hi,

Here is my street car from france, 2276, best ET 11.773 in 2015 at bitburg, unfortunately I no longer have the ticket...

The car was sold but I kept the mechanics for my 58, enough to impress more than one on the circuit or on the road
