Title: Big Bang... Post by: jamiep_jamiep on April 27, 2009, 08:42:34 am Wasn't there personally due to other commitments, but apparently was a great weekend.
Congratulations to Colin Jardine on a win in VWPro, blistering pace at 11.7... Also congratulations to John Walklett for running a new PB of 12.3 and taking the show & go (UK DRKC type deal) win.

Title: Re: Big Bang... Post by: flatfire on April 27, 2009, 09:41:12 am Great result for Colin running 11.6 best of for the weekend almost getting to his personal best of 11.59. :)
Johns time of 12.3 is superb on treads, he had a problem with his motor. By the time we had got home he had the engine stripped and found a broken lifter. Also of note was the N/A split van running into the 12s We had a ball. Title: Re: Big Bang... Post by: jamiep_jamiep on April 27, 2009, 10:12:51 am I spoke to him this am and he's had a set of Udo's lifters knocking around for a bit - now he's got a reason to use them! I here some detail changes are also underway to try to get into the 11's at the DD1 and after the years and years of the cars drivetrain development going from a 14 second (hot!) street car to a really quick car I think it will be a champagne moment for him!
how did you get on FFire? Title: Re: Big Bang... Post by: flatfire on April 27, 2009, 10:56:32 am I just tagged along with Coiin. Getting ready for my road trip to DD1.
I'm also having a type 2 box built for Betelgeuse so hopefully will have it out for Bug Jam Title: Re: Big Bang... Post by: BeetleBug on April 27, 2009, 11:07:46 am Congrats to you all!
