Rus has made it to the track. his first run was a stedy light throttle as the clutch is slipping. 10.4 @ 122 mph 1.53 60'
hes just pulling the motor to tighten up the clutch.
by the way he drove there in the car over 200 miles! all this weekends runs are on pump gas.

Good work Russ  Pulling the motor to adjust the clutch, typical Russ, can't have a wing nut like the rest of us  Doe's he still swap the doors on the car for glass ones when he gets to the track? |

Met Russ yesterday for the first time what a nice guy.......Pauter were horrified when told he proposed the car would be driven to the pod...."this is going to put more miles on the bottom end than most cars will get in a normal racing life" quality it,s guys like Russ and back in the day John Maher pushing the envelope,that gives racing a huge push forward,and sees the rules potentially being rewritten in terms of what is achievable in a street driveable race car.I guess there will be a lot of people both in the states and here (vwdrc,outlaws)and the french /german/belgians,watching the developements with interest.This car sounds and performs VERY differently to what we are used to.It,s not overly loud or dramatic at launch,and sounds big(not very technical,sorry )which it is at 3 litres  ......and definately hasn't hit it's potential yet. Well done Russ,can't wait to see it once the clutch issues are sorted.....be afraid people....the oldun(who'se measly 2276 hasn,t yet managed a single succesful run ,but then I,m an idiot |

I don't think so, I could only make it Fri but been glued to Eurodragster all day, not sure if he qualified the rules to Complicated Eliminator are a bit baffeling, his index to run was in the 8's!!! Actually thinking on it he may have done, think the results on Eurodragster are just the winners, I'm sure if he ran another 9 we would have heard about it by now. |

No I have moved on and ran an 11.4 with Betelgeuse we will be increasing the boost on the dyno this winter. Maybe go for a flanged crank I'm really looking forward to next year. I loved the ghia but was going nowhere with the weight of the car. Ran a 12.7. I have to finish the cal-looker as well so its all fun |
