Sorry to hear you didn't make the 130 club Doc. What are you going to do about the turbo not working?

Thanks for the update! Maybe they can figure out what happened to the turbocharger...

Epilog...

Failed to enter into 130 mph club: 5 runs with 115, 118, 121, 98 and 91 mph. 108 @ 2/10 in 0.9373 must impressed the official referees. The 121 run shot the engine and the last two runs...with no turbo:

(view from the exhaust side).

Sorry I disappoint you all...I'll give it a try in 2011 with a better prep engine (1300 cc and 6 speed...).

On the way to Gatlinburg for the Spyder in the Smokey’s and Lamonster BBQ...farewell Salt Lake City...:doorag:

No worries doc, you did some crazy long ryding, as usual, and great posts along the way.

You still are the man!
:thumbup:

 

[SpyderWolf]

I am glad you made it to Gatlinburg safely, and we got the chance to talk some more. I wish you the best with your upcoming new performance mods as well.

I think those air deflectors on your mirrors slowed you down.

uncertain information?
I was pretty certain of the end results. :lecturef_smilie:
Better luck this time and remember the one thing you forgot last year.

Doc, I haven't seen you since 2008 when you gave me a Corbin discount coupon (Thanks again!). I'm happy to see you're still alive!
Did you custom build that Bugatti-looking front end? It looks great!
