Cheers Dave!
ACT - Peter Bone, Building 56 Beetle Rag Top Taxi, Turbo 1916 + NOS, 50% built.
Thanks Guys , lots reading , mybe update Pics to . There's alot more ! then you think .It 's just our country is so bluddy big .
🙄 ...aww im not fast enough...but i do have a 67 with one piece glass front in the shed
Reub , if you race it , to me more the better (motor make does'nt matter ) . Andra covered cars first becouse they are a real drag car ,but Rego cars like Rods (48ida) fit becouse they run 12.99 or quicker so you could enter a ANDRA meeting .
Imagine a race meeting with all comers from around Australia ( Vw Drag Nationals ) 😀
Daimo ! how fast was your bug , I could work out about over quarter mile . Mate get to work on that other bug or Type 3 might make it .
No pic's from me, I'm not showing anything from this build until it's done. Had big problems publishing a previous build (Can't trust everyone 👎)
mike waldron will also be driving his beetle N/A by next yr as well as dave stoker's, well as long as time and money permits. we're basically down to little fiddlies and paint.
Also i dont know if this counts, as it probably wont get ito the 12's till early next year, its a build in progress with intention of drag racing, but my car will be at warwick this yr with a few little developments and then hopefully at portland with many more 👍😁😁

Hey Pete...put a link to your website in your signature block and then update your website ya slacka....🙄
I'd say i'd be able to run into the 12s, once the gearbox was done, which would probably be by end of year.
NSW - Mick Leite - 58 beetle (Suby EJ20T wrx Sti powered).
Obviously not aircooled - no need to include me on the list if it doesn't apply. 😎
Hey Pete what about me😀
Andrew Smith;Manx;13bturbo;11.80@114.9mph
13BVW 11.80@114mph
Stanley ! Web is slow ,but it is changing if you look ,has Dyno Day flyer and couple other up dates .( Nasty's car)

Good work Pete. I notice you have a link too....
👍what about Mark Callus yellow Karman Ghia in Melb ( Henrys mate ) the car hasnt been out fora long while
I think # 6 Michael Clarke :N/A Bug in the SA listing is actually from Melborune as well
unless there are 2 guys with the same name 😂
Here's another one in the works....hopefully the build will gain momentum soon.

VW54: There are two Mike Clarke's . Red Back racing in SA. And Sauron from this site.
Red Back Used to race against the hot4 back aournd 2000 at AIR. Not sure if it was autocraft powered, or just a set of autocraft heads.
It went hard.
James C.
Don't forget Henry,
he has THREE yellow ovals that can easily be raced.

Pete's memory is fading....
How about the car that over the last four years motivated a few Oz drag car guys to pull their finger out and finish their cars that had been gathering dust?😂
The VWMA Rat Bug of course - '57 Beetle 2332cc Type 1 N/A.

OH, and for NSW Ross freestone,
Hotdog Chop top Bug. 2897cc N/A.
westi wrote:That's mad Alan.
Cool Dave , like the round corners on those doors .Dave , I think Ross's new name Hotdog is better then houndog 😂.
When you start reading the list , there alot more cars then you think. Australia vw (drag) scene is booming , look at numbers of new cars and old racers steeping up ( me , freestone , trent , stocker, kristen and other) . Can't wait for Warwick this year !
