Hi DragHeads !

As you "may" have read on Eurodragster (Oct 11th) ,
the "historic" blown VW engined bike is still alive & running in germany,
and has a new owner now.

Is there anyone around here who can put me /him into contact with
John Charlton and/or Chris Willbond, the riders and creators (?) of "Lucifer" in the 70s/80s ??

The new owner needs info about the original setup of engine,

I think it ran on nitro through an SU (Jag?) carb and roots blower.
Best UK times were in the 8.50s range AFAIK.

The last owner ran on methanol,still blown, and got to the line in the 10s.

Thanks in advance,
Benni
