Title: Re: Bugjam pictures Post by: WPS on July 24, 2013, 21:33:51 pm Great job from our European guests...Congratulations to Thomas for the win and to Udo on the great times.....shame we couldn't have given you guys abit more competition....next year maybe!? A pretty good event given it's 'history'....I shall go again.... Loads of track time available on fri and sat for rwyb and good pit space, good surface and friendly track staff.....the sun was abit bloody hot tho' :D More pictures to follow..... Ian Title: Re: Bugjam pictures Post by: WPS on July 24, 2013, 21:46:29 pm Outlaw Flat Four............. Title: Re: Bugjam pictures Post by: WPS on July 24, 2013, 21:57:24 pm More Outlaw Flat Four............ Not sure what Pete's trying to work out in this picture......thinking about a 'pit stop' ;) to save some more weight by the look on his face. Title: Re: Bugjam pictures Post by: WPS on July 24, 2013, 22:07:35 pm And some more...... Pete drove it there....slicks and all tools etc onboard...ran mid 11's all weekend.....then drove it home!!! He wanted the occasional push in the 'fire up lane' tho' All we did was mess about with tyre pressures and 'launch procedures'.......here he is 'wheels up' with a dry hop 'tyre clean' Best sounding car on the track all weekend!! Video to follow.... Title: Re: Bugjam pictures Post by: WPS on July 24, 2013, 22:09:55 pm ooops.... Title: Re: Bugjam pictures Post by: WPS on July 24, 2013, 22:32:49 pm Congrads to Joe G in his Type 34...PB with that combo on his first run of the weekend and beat Pete every time out! Even when we waited for him and his seven man crew with the battery pack to restart ::) There was no catching UDO tho' but he did his best time trying.....the beauty of heads up! James Wotton was struggling with the 'eyes bigger than the belly' in the turbo department!! ;D Still ran lots of 10's tho' with so much more to come.... Title: Re: Bugjam pictures Post by: WPS on July 24, 2013, 22:40:53 pm Sorry but this car really is the bollocks!! Title: Re: Bugjam pictures Post by: stretch on July 24, 2013, 22:58:43 pm That's an amazing achievement to drive to the track, run those times & then drive home. I agree Ian, that car really is the bollocks !!! Did you manage to run the Fiat?
Title: Re: Bugjam pictures Post by: Udo on July 25, 2013, 15:47:35 pm Nice pictures :-) We are back in the uk for vw action or open sport nat. at shakey .
Udo Title: Re: Bugjam pictures Post by: LGK on July 25, 2013, 16:05:44 pm Hi Ian,
Nice report,nice replies and very nice pics for those who were'nt there :-\ Congrats to Udo and Thomas for the results and PB's,also great work again from our friend Pete with his screamer mouse -motor!! Me thinks i better start building a fast racecar now instead of keep running the "Fast Scrap wheelie-popper-showcar" ;D ;D ;D Regards Steve & enjoy the holidays! Title: Re: Bugjam pictures Post by: Shane Noone on July 25, 2013, 16:15:53 pm Sorry but this car really is the bollocks!! Cool Pics Ian and agreed, Peter your bug is awesome and a real street and strip star ! :-) Didn't make it to BugJam in the end but hope to catch up with you guys soon. Cheers Shane. Title: Re: Bugjam pictures Post by: Jonny Grigg on July 25, 2013, 20:11:51 pm Great pictures and great weekend. I am pleased we found the 'problem' with my car- just goes to show that I should read instructions now and again........
Interesting to see the amount of squat on the rear of my car- we might try and tighten up the back a little bit and adjust the wheelie bars next time out ;-) Hope to be at VW Action for some more fun :-) Title: Re: Bugjam pictures Post by: Udo on July 25, 2013, 20:32:16 pm [quote author=LGK link=topic=21232.msg292206#msg292206 date=1374764744

Udo Title: Re: Bugjam pictures Post by: WPS on July 25, 2013, 21:35:05 pm Some videos...more to come but it just crashed during the upload so only two for now!! ::) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cs5dHwTLqmQ You can hear that 5th and 6th are too long at the moment but that'll change for next year/new motor with even more rpm!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jacv5UNQC1U This is Joes first run this year I think....PB at the time and close race....'cat and mouse' all the way!! Title: Re: Bugjam pictures Post by: Peter Shattock on July 25, 2013, 23:32:46 pm Thanks Ian,
Just what I needed after a long day at work to come home and listen to that! Shame that noisy thing of Jo's in the other lane makes such a racket in the second clip! And he had the cheek to beat me too! Peter Title: Re: Bugjam pictures Post by: AlexB on July 26, 2013, 00:21:13 am Thanks Ian, Just what I needed after a long day at work to come home and listen to that!

Peter Passed you on Friday morning on the M25 - you were heading north around the heathrow area & I was heading south - about 7.00 - 7.30 Am, I had been on the road since 4.45 and seeing you gave me a huge grin ;D Car looked great - pretty hardcore weekend to drive up to the pod and back - Well done ;D Title: Re: Bugjam pictures Post by: WPS on July 26, 2013, 15:55:13 pm More vids.....including the OFF final (Udo's worst run of the weekend ::) ) Little bit of Spitfire at the end too...thankfully NOT the the Triumph variety! ;D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BH-1_eOgJrk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3QkouPyc-Q Good work guys!! Ian Title: Re: Bugjam pictures Post by: Lee.C on July 26, 2013, 17:47:06 pm I must say Congrats to Pete (and Ian) for that car/runs - its amazing. :)
Title: Re: Bugjam pictures Post by: Udo on July 26, 2013, 18:40:17 pm it was a nice run ...until i missed 4th gear . hard to loose against a type4 :-(
