i won the First VW Nationals Drag event in my 36 hp Bug in 1990

beat the LEDGEND Stan #$^%$ in his open wheeler

You DONT have to be FAST just consistant

From looking at my time cards i did a 13.5 seconds for the 1/8 mile
and that car does a masive 22.5 for the 1/4 mile

SO LOOK O U T

What about cars from other state's Vic , SA . Any one heard anything .

I would love to be at the event representing NSW - but I fly out to Germany for work that day (Bummer)

well as Craig said one of the first to enter was Steve Craven which is one of the Mexicans from Melbourne so I think all of them would be coming along as they always come along

You better bring all your QLDer mates down then Mick!!!! one might get lucky!!!!!

this will get u going

Just good to see old dubs still hammering down the drag strip!! A lot of people don't realise how much the bug played a role in drag racing all over the world.
