Hi
I went down to Cooma again and ran my Beetle at the Snowy Mountains 1000, it�s a bit like a drag race but only a single car at a time and at over 1000 metres on Cooma airport runway, it�s much longer than a traditional � mile which is only 402.336 metres.
There was an amazing variety of cars running, even an electric Radical race car and a strong contingent of VWs.
This year I had a bit of completion in my class, I guy I work with ran his immaculate Datsun 1600 powered by a 350 kW SR20 engine, he was about 1.5 seconds quicker than me and took the class win, I came second. I finished at about 50th out of 135 cars.
This year I did few things to my car to make it run faster and I managed to go a bit quicker, last year my best time was 22.513 seconds @ 226 km/h, this year I did 22.3247 @ 236.7 km/h, I had 4 runs, two where I went from 2nd gear to fifth gear one were my coolant overflow sprayed onto my ignition coils and the one where I got my best time which wasn�t a very good run as it was late in the day and I had a lot of wheel spin off the line, so car is going great, driver needs more time doing angry gear changes. Can�t wait till next year.
