This weekend is the final race here for the VW PRA,today there is an open house at Vee dub parts,tommorow there is a dyno day at Rancho,then sunday the race/car show at Fontana.

I will have my camera with me and will update the weekends activities as and when I can.

My car is back together and the problem I had found and fixed,so I am looking forward to some good passes on sunday.The temperature has cooled down and as long as the track is good we have the potential to see some quick,maybe even record passes.
It looks like there will be a good field in the heads up classes with both Pro mod and super street having bigger fields :)Thanks again to Jeff Denham for repairing my melted cylinder head and giving them a freshen up Smiley 

cheers richie,uk

Thanks Richie,

They had a live link from the dyno session and I hooked the pc to the TV and watched it. Unfortunately the mic was way to sensitive so we could not hear a dam thing at times but we could watch the cars being dynoed at least. I noticed the Baron made 665hp but they feel that the numbers was low? They ran 31lbs of boost yesterday and earlier they made 650hp on only 21lbs of boost. We could also see a fireball after the Madson run? Exhaust fire due to methanol? 767hp and 910nm is really impressive stuff. And all the results is wheel hp. And what happened when you dynoed? Tires rubbing?

Anyway, good luck with the racing today.

Best rgs
