Hyvinkää NNC Street Slide

After VW Open I noticed that all exhaust valves were seized and k- liners were pulled out from valve guides. I pulled the heads off, took them to Jussi from Kuplapaja and after 5 days I got heads back with new exhaust valves and k-liners. Great service from Jussi and Harri!

I managed to get the car ready few days before NNC Street Slide event and as I knew there were at least 4 other VW's going I decided to go there as well. What a great day it turned out to be. The first run was 12.131 @ 187,30km/h with 1.97 60ft so I knew the power was there. I was hitting the rev limiter 7800rpm just before the finish line but did not want to rev the engine higher as there was no traction at all and I was not chasing top speed anyway. In the eliminators I managed 11.94 @ 188.58km/h and the limiter hit 50m before finish so next time I'll raise it and try to go over 190km/h. And with better traction and better 60ft times I'm sure low 11's are possible.

Congratulations also for Tomi, Anders and Matti for PB's at Hyvinkää!
