Called in at Wakefield Park to-day and saw Rod Penrose testing the 'circuit racer' beetle. Was good to see the car - and the driver - going so well.

Watch him go at the Super-sprints!

Cheers, Greg

I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

I think the car was in perfect shape after its workout - not so sure about the driver though!

Hi Greg

That's really good to hear, I don't want the budding track racer getting disappointed.

What's the opposite to 'disappointed'? That's what he was!

Sounds like it was smiles on his face and staines on the reg grundies and not the other way around.

I spoke with Rod down at the Berry VW show last weekend and he could get the smile off his face just talking about it. I wont say anymore than that at this stage, will leave it for him to chime in.

I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!
