how did he manage to stop with those beetle brakes!!!
I had some mates in the early 90s who used to stick V8s in beetles and variants , paint em silk black etc.. Great mean cars. One of the guys had twin turbos on his V8 powered beetle. Not sure what it pulled at santa pod but it was very funny!!

Morning, Just seen the thread...

I don't know the guy, but I know the car, quite impressive... and not one of the fastest VW racers!

Ash, notice in the comments from Sleath's website that the roll cage has been tagged to 8.50... are you taking this into account with your cage?

Good good....

Nothing quite compares to the fear as the tech inspectors go over the car with the ultrasonic tester to ensure that everything is up to spec...

The feeling when they stick on the sticker is fantastic! Confirms that your hard work has actually worked!
