Title: Congratulations to Kev Donlon and John Walklett Post by: jamiep_jamiep on July 20, 2009, 08:49:08 am Kev's recently turbocharged bug made its strip debut at Bug Jam at the weekend and ran some impressive times straight off the bat, best was a 12.19 @ 111mph.
(http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f215/kevdonlon01/bug/DSC03679.jpg) It was a great time which knocked John Walklett off the no.1 spot of our club ET board (see the blog), but John was obviosly a bit revved up after that and went straight out in his 2387/NOS and got the top spot back with a Here's his car (no photo of it at Bug Jam though, this is an old one)> (http://www.funkenblitz.com/upload/DSC_0052.jpg) Title: Re: Congratulations to Kev Donlon and John Walklett Post by: jamiep_jamiep on July 20, 2009, 09:54:12 am Apologies to John, it was a 12.07 @ 108 mph....

We towed back a white turbo'd car that caught alight at the end of the shutdown area! Luckily the fire crew were on it like a shot and it looked like nothing major was damaged..?

Well done to the crew who responded so quickly!

Looks good! John's really neds a cage though running those times! ;)

Its been around a bit, and fairly consistently a 12 second car when in Pauls hands (although with a different setup).
The weekend of Bug Jam also saw two club prospects run qualifying times and they've now been voted in - Carl and Lisa - welcome to the Rennwagens! feel free to have a look at the club blog for a little more info on the weekend and an updated ET board. http://sas-renn-wagens.blogspot.com/ (http://sas-renn-wagens.blogspot.com/) |
