VW Portland 2011

[Preen59]

Just dug my helmet out and polished the chain lube and oil off it from the '07 Australian Karting Nationals..



Ready to rock and/or roll.

thats no fair i want a crew shirt
and your helmets nicer then mine!

im slightly concerned about my car (shhhh dont tell Seb)

hey revnit will you be needing to refill your nitrous bottles? or is that why you have more then one?? hmmm

oh preeny i think it only just clicked in my head youll be there ! you racing? can someone say babysitter??? haha kidding

oh im also in a bit of trouble coz i booked 3 nights accomodation instead of 2 :S oops

Seb has also thrown in some cash for the Watercooled class. For the first car to complete a 7 second pass $500!! For the first car to complete a 6 second pass $1000!! Things have just stepped up a cog....

[mikinoz]

Safe to say he can probably buy some lollies on the way home with at least $1000 of that prize money!

[revnit]

We are brining 2 nitrous bottles with us but if there is an option to refill let us know?? its a long trip all sorts can happen, and if theres some prize money up for grabs may step it up and go for it! considering both I and the owner Chris said we will take it easy with the brand new engine well not now hahaha. We have enough spares coming along with us we are covered for breakages i spend most of the day Saturday building a spare gearbox

I've had the helmet since '03 when my old one got smashed.. Along with my collar bone and vehicle.. A racing friend was nice enough to donate a new one to me..

oh preeny i think it only just clicked in my head youll be there ! you racing? can someone say babysitter??? haha kidding

Haha... Babysitter? Last time I did that the judge told me i'm not allowed within 100 metres of a school or daycare centre..

I'm running in Tim's car on Saturday...

I dont think ill make it out there but can you ask him to play a love song dedication to Golfworx from me.
The song is by Phil Collins and its called "Against all odds"

[mk1turbo79]

Is someone going to break the rules and make a racer out of a golf rocker cover?

[Water Boy]

You coming james?

No dice. I wish I was there...

[Tommie]

The weather at the moment in Portland is VW!!! V= Very W=Wet.
It has been raining here the whole day, and expecting more showers over the weekend. Lets all pray to the Drag gods and hope they can change Mother natures rain for the weekend. AMEN !!!!!

[Preen59]

Top weekend!

Big thanks to the Cobra Division! What a blast.. We could have gone home Saturday morning and been satisfied we'd had fun.

Tommy, you're a riot!

Here's our quickest times.. Pics etc to come. I took a stack.

Preen59

8.831@84.59 mph, 2.21 60ft, '76 Mk1, 1.8l K-Jet, standard bar stud kit, t3/4 Turbo. Full street trim w/ sun visor and Garfield. Toyo RA1 205/55 R14

Tim Bailey

I only made 3 passes.. And launched soft.

The car made a total of 17 passes over the weekend, with Tim using the 2-Step and giving the thing a real hard time. Car was consistent and didn't break a thing.
