here's a pic of the car that myself and my vw driving dad (eddy) will be piloting in the rally this week.
it is finally ready to go and just in the nick of time too, with the old man giving it the final touches before scrutineering tonight.
dont worry about the nissan badge folks, as his gti will take its place should something go wrong with my car
guy, have a safe trip and we will see you in goulburn in a few days time.
Looks like we do! - You know we only live for drag racing the drags are known to kill more Dutton competitors drivetrains than the rest of the event combined but we will give it a shot
Great day, and great to meet Guy, Eddie and a few others competing. I ran up to Wakefield first thing, only to discover the running order had reversed, and Guy was at the Sutton HillClimb. MACCAA and I decided we'd better head to Canberra, and caught all the action. Then back to Wakefield, where we caught up with FL00DY and a few others.
The Pog did respectable times at Wakefield, but I think MACCAA still holds the fastest Polo lap at WPR (hand-timed )
A couple of pics, FTW

curious what the polo got down the straight? heard 15s?
What straight?
At Eastern Creek we could see about 220kmph before braking & turning. On the 800m run it once topped 200kmph, but the other 3 runs were slightly slower due to bad launches.
Car went really well, the throttle body died at the end of day one and you couldnt launch the car (only at 1000 rpm or 5500rpm plus) so we lost heaps of time on the launches.
Still it outperformed lots & lots of cars & impressed many, many people.
Came 14th in crew handicap (40th outright), 17th driver handicap (60th outright), 13th co-driver handicap (34th outright)
3rd in drivers class, 1st place in co-drivers class (so a couple of trophies came home today )
Was a great weekend, some awesome tracks, awesome hillclimbs - next year will be great now that we have seen the circuits, we should be much quicker around there.
Fuzion, whats your best lap time at Wakefield or Eastern Creek as a benchmark for us?
Good results, Guy -- all things considered. Great to meet you, too. Lots of activities in this event, so it's pretty gruelling -- on cars and drivers -- just making it to the end is a result.
Looking at that tyre, I'm glad I didn't come up to Eastern Creek! -- you were looking 'acquisitively' at my tyres on the Saturday morning!
