Just thought I'd post a link to my first attempt at the 1/4 mile in the van. Even after the horrendous start, I manage to win,mines the white panel aka The Chicken Coop.

Did an 18.014 at 73.9 mph, but they were using the pro tree, which is a killer. It has run a 16.7,but with a mate driving.

it would be good to see some more VW's drag racing over here in Perth. The scene isn't very big over here at all.
