hi Paul, we'll be salt-side Saturday night...haven't stayed in the gutter since the first time I went. We're stopping at Dirty Dave's in the Barossa on Friday night for red wine and red meat and then heading at off Sparrows fart for the lake( seven hours)........
And yes that's the Scotty we're talking about..........we'd been talking to him about it for a while, he was buzzed that we did 160 with a stock one and had sold all but the bottom end out of the VN , he didn't give it to us but we didn't haggle much over what he did want, nice bloke...he'll still retain some bragging rights.

Zero data aquisition this year as we are merely running a modified chip on the original computer from the Commodore.
Next year we will have the Megasquirt operating and that has data logging capability, but am unsure how much.
This year the logging will be in our memory.
I don't think Donald Campbell had data logging but he seemed to do ok...

Have received in the mail our remapped chip from a chap in Tasmania*.
Looked for one on eBay, emailed a seller, turns out he could give a specific map, so I posted the memcal and he posted back all done the next day.
Bless the Internet. Dancing around at work now, getting excited.

Interesting local fact # 1 : For those unaware of Australia's geography, Tasmania is the female pubic hair shape south of the main island; hence the expression for such a region here being called a "map of tassie".

Wear your lucky night shirt As stage manager, script writer, barman and head of wardrobe I will be presenting the Speed Limit 1000 Boxcar shirts and the new Bonneville shirts to the Colonel and the Rev at the Lake, grotophaphic evidence to follow...... I think it's just a case of packing now, I ordered the last of the spares today........... Thanks for all the good wishes, once again we don't take the support and help we've received from all here over the years lightly, we'll be thinking of you guys too and will report back at the first possible opportunity...... I better wear more than that, we are sleeping in the one tent!!!

and you know, that reminds me of a great old joke that really isn't appropriate to tell anywhere....but does include the line..."would you tell anyone?" |
