Whatever happened to the Dak-to-the-future Beetle?

They had a few articles about this car back in the early '90s then nothing. Did it ever make it to the track? Anyone has pics? Looked pretty cool during the construction phase raf

Mule, ass? Which one?!?!

Dunno, never seen the car or met the guy. So I'm not gonna pass judgement. Plus he was doing something unchartered in his spare time out of his own pocket, so yeah. Not really like doing an IRS/Balljoint type3 reared beetle. But still, been a long while. Would'nt of minded seeing it on the track, at least that way it would now be a historic piece of VW racing history😎
