this time we visited räyskälä airfield, test & tune - drag races. But with the karmann ghia, as i haven't been able to test it at the strip at all. well it was a cool day, but disappointing for the time slips. as my best was the first pass. 14.1 @ 166 km/h. the engine shakes a lot, tires loose the traction... at the first attempt.
second is worse, doesn't go to the second gear as the engine shakes more. so the time was baaaad.
third pass was easier on the start, as i wanted more grip. but, at the second gear clutch was toasted, third gear same, and the fourth too. that was around 16 sec.
but now i know that what i have to do. for the next season. a lot of things. :-) will see. the day was one of the best of this year. as was the kiikala burn out party 2025. i need more practice, and a good plan. But fellow vw enthusiast, you need to get to the strip. there's not many. :-(
