Bug Cam Huntley Hillclimb 1991
Menangler - September 30th, 2008 at 10:16 AM

Going through some old videos, found this one from 1991, Bug Cam in my old 1957 Oval Beetle, 1st run of the day, gets a bit loose at the end. This is also before Huntley was smoothed out, it was very rough as you can see.

Jeff and i were reminising about the green hellbug the other day, you wouldn't have or know of any footage of it?.......sadly, Jeff doesn't have any

I have one of Jeff's green '76 Bug, I will try and get one posted this afternoon.

Here is another of my Oval. this is before the Turbo, It was powered by an 1835 with IDA's Engle 140 cam, also had a stock uncounterweighted crank, it only lasted a year before flogging the case out.

Great vids!!

Can't believe that save :no:

Looks like it was a rough old track in the day.

This is Jeff Unwin from Hell Bug's Green '76 Beetle, I think this had a 74 x 90.5 IDA'd Berg engine and was unbeatable for quiet a while, I don't remember the times, maybe some one knows?

thanx Dave

i'm getting so amped for this weekend now!!......

.....jeffs motor may have been as stroked as 77.5mm (custom), the amount of work in the welded berg heads blows me away, ended up with GB 319/engle KB 424 cam........ hopefully be pulling it down and refreshing in the next 12 months.........ali case, haltech E8 and off to Warwick 09

thanks watched your first bit of footage cause it didnt work before that was a puckering moment for sure. was that your 1776 turbo with the blow thru carb?
