haha no one is game to take you on! what about if you reverse the seat and drive it backwards so it's rear engined??
now that would be worth seeing!

ha, if only that was the case :-) i`m not "That" fast :-)
Luke did tell me that i can`t race because it`s not a Vee-Dub,,, fair enough cause it is a vee-dub show,,, i get that,,, but some cars that run there are not much Vee-dub in them at all... & so i wonder how much vee-dub-ness do i have to have?
& i figured it`s another entry fee to help with covering running costs & i won`t take much time up on the track :-)

so it can`t hurt can it???

So,,, i`m serious--> will fitting a vee-dub golf grille be enough? or will i need all the front panels or just a beetle bonnet or what?
.........................................i just want to have a run there

i do carry it to the tracks in my Kombi ute... :-)

are there any people out there who don`t want me to have a run there with the vee-dub crowd???

I'd like to see it :tu:

You're still a dubber. Where do you draw the line hey, particularly when its a hard line. A Eureka with a subi powered donk and transaxle wouldn't be questioned, although only running a type 3 skateboard. Although I guess thats still a world more than ya buggy though.

maybe golf grille, herbie pin stripes :P

Run your kombi :smilegrin:

Yeah Chris, it`s a hard call to "decide" what is VW & what isn`t these days

but (in my books) it`s more about letting a fellow Vee-Dubber have a run in his race buggy at a race track on a social weekend isnt it?

if the entries were full & overflowing then i can understand,,, no problem & i won`t push anyones buttons at all,,, not one bit,,, but if there were room for more entries then surely the extra entry money wouldn`t hurt would it?

i wouldn`t take up much time on the track :-) :-) :-)

i will fit a fibreglass Beetle/Baja bonnet to it & take some pics :-)

& Hellbugged, i would run my kombi yes, i actually would,,, yep :-) ,,, i`d love to ,,, but i`d probably have to change gearboxes after every run :-) & change one again to get me home to Brisbane after the event :-)

i`d love to have a run around that track in my buggy,,, but i really don`t want to make another trip of it just to do that, when i "could" do it when we go to Valla for the Vee-Dub meet hey? saves me a whole lot of stuffing around & money being able to do both the vee-dub meeting & run my buggy at the track in the one trip. . . Hey?
