Wow! What a weekend for you guys! Congrats Richie on the '9' it was an awesome pass! I managed to sneak away from my crewing duties to watch most of the Outlaw session's which were awesome!

Big congrats also to Travis, Bernie and Phil West on their PB's! (and anyone else that I don't know about!?!) ;D

waouwww  :o flying ritchie  8)

I was down there this weekend too, the most entertaining class of the weekend, massive wheelies and quick times, crowd loved it. Well done to all..

Some hot tarmac and cool air temperatures allowed some cars to really SHINE ;D

Well done to Travis on his 10.44@127, the Aspirated King!

Indeed :) just as impressive for me as Richie's 9 :)

Allow me to tweak those links :)

Its getting harder to take shots when you know both lanes are going to provide 'the money shot'  :D I'm still perfecting my 'Two Places @ Once' method :)

Of the 12 members up at SCR I think 8 got personal bests! How about a 12.4 for a street 1776?  I don't think any of the numbers run are the end of it either, all can go quicker still. ;D

Hi Mat, hows your times doing mate?
Cheers,
Kev

I wasn't racing as the '63 isn't to spec for the class, (I guess I'll have to sort out a car that is because watching doesn't cut it!) but I'll have it out on track one or two more times this year with a new ignition system. I wouldn't want to speculate but we think it'll do what it was intended to do pretty easily. I want to get there on treads and then move to slicks. You must be busting to get back on track too? Various things since Bug-In (like work, yuk!) have got in the way of getting the times down.

 :)

Well done guys..... Easy ait it !

What happened to Golden Boy Martin a new PB as well..... he covered the 1/8th with out breakage or an oil leak ! Well Done, maybe next time you get to the end, backing it up may be hard but keep trying we are all behind you PUSHING.  ;D

Best rgs
BB

Thanks BB I only got in 3 runs I broke 3 axles and 4 cv's looks l need to do some upgrading, problem is car and driver 1973lbs I'ts so heavy it's putting so much load on the axles and cv's out of the box.
I did still manage a seasons best of 11.24 @119 so not all was lost !!!

All the best Paul Bate

Ps I'll get the guys to send in the times for the top races list.....................................................................psssssssssssssssssssssst..........................................the OUTLAWS ARE COMMING !!!!!!!

all we need now is to get the outlaws to some of the Pod Shows so we can see some real entertainment :)

Rob, Flame and Thunder, November 3rd! ;)

Ha Ha Ha you are killing me Russell Frank was racing my gold bug this time and only when and won. The next time I'm out in it is Bitburg so yes i will try my hardest to break it for you. ;D

Also Russell did you get that box i send you.

cheers Niel , 100% going to be there. Bout time there was some real dub racing :)

Just thought I would add my 2p’s worth as a new boy in the lounge. Great weekend guy’s but I don’t know about you lot but I’m suffering from post race syndrome. Always get it after all the excitement of racing, work seams especially dull!

Sorry how may PB’s was that this weekend! That must mean that 8 out of the 12 cars broke out? Or was that just Paul breaking 8 bits of his car (lard arse).

Best of luck to those of you going to the Hot Rod Drags (great event) hope you show the old gasser circus boys the way home.

Ritchie if your browsing here I forgot to mention that I’m on holiday from tomorrow so no email, mobile only if we need to sort out some money for Jeff.

Welcome to the Lounge, Pete! See you on the strip next year...  :)

Hi Keith, I was thinking I would be seeing you for a nice civilised cup of tea and a chat on the grass in Berkshire before then. Interesting note, will we be seeing you at the race track? You going to be hiding behind the lens or maybe you have some of those Hi po windscreen wipers..........

Welcome Pete ;D

Fitting wipers is my first priority. After all, real street cars have wipers, don't they? ;)

Oh, and two sugars, please!

Having been told off for not being on the lounge when all other clubs members are I have finally got off my backside......

Just to say hi to all, I don't get much time away from working on the split and the bug.

Also thanks once again to all the club members / Paintbox / Prosign / etc. who have helped me get the car to where it is today, it's been an amazing journey so far.  Starting with my 12.74 four years ago I was on that pb for over two years.  Since then I've broken it at every meet, being 12.64, then 12.61, then 12.30, then 12.25, then 12.04 and finally the 11.87 which I have been dreaming of for a very long time.  Still in shock!

Anyway I'm just having a break from working on the cars, time to get back to lightening up my rear end, drilling more metal and ordering a better coil for MORE POWER.  Car's down to 1420 pounds (645kg).  Paul B your car is too heavy mate.  If you need help I can come down with my angle grinder!!

Cheers
Phil

Welcome Mr West ;D

P.S I need a couple of hoodies, what meet are you at next?

Hot Rod Drags....let me know sizes and I'll ensure I bring them along

Cheers

The Beard ;D Hi Phil about time you got you ass on here.

got to be loving the name! welcome Phil, well done on the PB's !

good to see mr shattock and mr west on here now, well done at the weekend sounds like another top weekend and well done to every one  on the pb's. i think i need to grt some more power in the car to catch up. :)

Hey it's "Way Out' West! Just add some power and quit with the lightening! Give my regards to the marrows! ;D

Hi Phil, Also known as Robinson!

This is a bit off topic but the new 'issue' of drag racing online has a report of the Open sports nationals at Avon Park and the Outlaw's get a cracking write up and some nice pictures too!

http://www.dragracingonline.com/dro.html# (http://www.dragracingonline.com/dro.html#) and click on open sports nationals....

Thanks all for the welcome...I should have a bit more HP this weekend and of course I have been drilling for the last few weeks.  Not sure I'll ever top the 11.87 mind.

Dean - are you interested in my early IDA, otherwise I shall put it up on ebay etc.

Cheers
The Beard

Nice write up :)

We'll be out again at Avon park this weekend, only limited numbers as it's a Hot Rod event and they don't like getting beaten by old VWs  ;D ;)
and then a whole lot more of us at DDD5 :D

Welcome Phil and Pete!!

Pete, reckon I am still due a cup of tea too ;)

Phil, remember this? Your Bug has always been on the front page of my site, hope you don't mind ;)

(http://www.cal-look.net/images/index_r5_c9.jpg)

Your bug was one of my biggest inspirations, along with Lil J's Looker, cloudy days at North Weald, and leaky roofs at Wolfsburn Perf in Chertsey!!

I will never forget finding the place for the 1st time looking for a tie rod for my old '65.

J pulled up in his bug, with a massive grin on his face exclaiming something like 90mph in 2nd!

Was a slippery slope from then on, until then I was blissfully unaware of performance aircooled VWs!!


The daily driver 1776cc plans turned into 2165cc stomper with built box and my '65 was moved on to make way for the car I have now!


ahhh happy days

Cheers!

Steve

 ;D Yeah only 6 of you allowed to enter  ;D We were due to be there all weekend but we've decided to spend more time on getting our bug ready! Avon is only 30 mins away so we might pop up for a bit on sunday though!
