Burgermaster, Vintage Meet & VW Nationals
It was a great weekend of shows. Starting at Burgermaster for good conversation and burgers. Then to Vintage meet for the best Vintage VW's the PNW has to offer and finishing off the weekend at Pacific Raceways for the 2016 VW Nationals. I brought my car out and although it's slow I made it into the 3rd round of eliminations. Not bad after 4 years not racing!.
At Vintage you where greeted with a vast showing of Bus's of all varieties
and It brought out the best in town and then some!
On race day the show started to fill up early
During the races I was able to put The Dub Shop ECU to the test (MaxSFI) is what I'm going to call it. It's about an hour and a half each way to the track. The first pass I made was an 18.009 and I wasn't able to back it up all day.
During test and tune, I made 3 passes. All going a little slower than the previous and I stopped at an 18.2X. I was trying to adjust the launch control for a nice launch but the little 1600 just wanted to bog down.

After a rush to the staging lanes for the start of Eliminations it was a quick 3 rounds. Although I was really consistent during the 3 rounds I lost due to my slow reaction times. I'm going to blame it on the loose suspension :).
All in all a absolutely great weekend and next year hopefully I can bring a little more power to the track!
