anyone else going ? looks like it should be  nice day  8)

Go to bed and ring me when you get that ten  ;D

 :-\ :-X

Great days Racing today with you Danny and a string of 11.0's is pretty darn good in my book  ;D Don't worry mate that ten is just teasing you for another day !!

Thanks for your support today and following your instructions, pulled the fanbelt off and promptly ran 12.19@109mph, a new pb time without belt for me  :D

Cheers

Shane.

Now get the NOS on :)

Sorry I missed it. If I had known earlierin the week I would have gone but made arrangements elesewhere.  :(

track was not good bernie they were having trouble getting some rubber on it but weather was good and its always nice to go to church on a sunday  ;D
stuck with the setup i had last week even though every part of me was saying fit the bigger jets lol i resisted as the 60fts were bad and i was slightly faster than last week with a higher mph but bad 60ft
sry about not telling you i was sure i told you last week at the pod  ???  :-[

You might of told me but a senior moment ;D

i wasnt going to say anything  :D

good to see some fellow racers 8)racing whirligig in the Ladies that Launch (having won it twice)but still not got our heads around new motor.track improved at end of day and ran new pb with 1.77 60ft.had our own mini bug jam with my bay panel and 2 splits in the pits.barbie,beers and sun with dragracing ,cracking weekend (even though we went out first round ::))

Well done Team Whirligig. Saw your 13.3 pass and a 1.7 60ft is excellent. We were impressed with the performance of your bug after chatting with "dad" ? about how he put together your motor himself and the limitations of your motor / trans combo etc.  By the way can't recall what size motor your running now ?

Cheers

its 1903 cc (1776 p&bs stroker crank) 044 cnc heads ,webb 86c cam ,all the good bits that go with that,cb rods ,ratio rockers and 48idfs 10.5 cr on super unleaded and octane booster.OLD SCHOOL 8)dont know what revs shes shifting at cos rev counter only goes to 7k and shes past that,could be 8k .be interesting to stick it on a dyno but we cant afford that ,it shouldant be as quick on paper ,full steel shell apart from rear gasser wings and deck lid and now we have full cage ,mind you it went 14.8 on our old 1679 bittsa engine ,fly cut 1300 heads and 36idfs.yes it is dad typing this .

Hey (dad ) and team
Was watching you running yesterday,, some great improvements during the day, !! Well done.
Amazing low 13.s with that combo,, must be a nicely put together motor,
Just nail those 60ft times a little lower and that 12 is not so far away.

Keep pushing !:)

Tony.

Hello Dad  ;D well hats off to you guys and as you say a 1.9 litre on a stock ratio box shouldn't on paper be that fast or indeed rev that high !! But hey who cares, it works and is pulling the numbers and as Tony said, them 12's aren't far away. Unusual combo's rock and are more interesting than "off the shelf" combo's like mine !! If she revs past 8 with the belt on, imagine the limit with the belt removed !! As you may have seen with mine yesterday what a difference that made from 12.7 to 12.2 and the motor felt so much free'er and pulled in 4th for a change !! Happy Days.
