A bunch of us have made plans to challenge the 36hp record...have made contact with the US guys and have asked about joining in using their rules...our speed week at Lake Gardia is currently flooded for the second year but talk of holding it in a few months is on the cards...would be great to have a few VW's flying the flag and develop our own class records ........cheers steve

Now this is a project worth looking at. I know there is some Oksasa stuff laying around out there (Dave?). Does anyone know what the rules / specs are. What defines a 36 hp.
