The Cal-look Lounge

The NSRA have kindly invited 6 Outlaws along to their annual Hot Rod Drags, Travis Ryder, Paul Bate, Bernie Newbury, Ian Clarke, Joe Gallagher and Phil 'The Beard' West

Along with racing against each other, their will be some VW v V8 racing to show dyed in the wool rodders that you shouldn't always bet against the little guy!

It should be a good one and a good warm up for DDD

Can´t wait to see pictures!!!  :o

Supercharged Chevy V8 vs normally aspirated VW motor - none of the rodders expected the race to be within tenths of a second! And now Bernie's got the gas on... ;)

Have a little problem (siezed LSD) wth the gearbox, had a word with Peter and deciced to pull engine and box to-night. Peter is going to sort it to morrow and back in again for Friday morning. Pity you were not here Ben if like spannering!! Bernie.

Have a good one! Nice one on the LSD Bernie, breakages don't stop the party!  8)

Sounds like a dream race... and the bug´s got a chance to!!

I'll be there on Sunday for sure  :)

I'm going to be missing this one too - got a mates wedding on Saturday and a gig on Sunday. Bugger.   ::)

 ;)

cheers richie,uk

Phil West ran a few more 11's and reached a new PB top speed of 113mph, Bernie also got a PB top speed of 138mph! this is his first time out with a spool in the Bus Box and has managed to adapt to it fairly quickly, think we've got the tyre pressures now, on the last pass he did a very controlled 40ft wheelie! Steve Young in his oval street car  was also running some PB's and Travis has some gear change issues.

We had a good weekend of racing and managed to beat all the V8's we raced against!
