The rain also didn't help! No excuses though,the mini can run 10's i believe? (is that right Carl?). I was only .3 of my fastest time (11.4 secs 1/4 mile). The beetle is now having race headers fitted and a bigger turbo + new roll cage & wheelie bars and also going on to slicks..... roll on bug jam!!! (i'm hoping for low 10's.... fingers crossed!
I got the point for the race due to the twin engined mini "breaking out" which means he ran more than .5 of a second than his dial in time, not sure what he ran but my time was 11.7 secs.
Soooo the mini got to the end of the strip first but i won the point......
You're right, i forgot all about the 0.5 sec rule lol. that because having two rubbish qually's makes the red mist decend, its only ever been about going faster but the first event is always only ever a shakedown test,
it was so much better later in the year in 08,i'd had time to hone my rubbish skills,lol,
Will you put this video in response to one of my racing vids please????
Thanks,
Bryn (owner of the beetle)
