New team in the UK
66bazbus - May 2nd, 2005 at 05:54 AM

OK, the general gist.

Bunch of enthusiats who went for it.

Amongst us we have
1x 13 window (the race bus) running 2332 fuel injected
1x 11 window 2300 twin carb motor
1x 57 single cab
1x 66 single cab
1x beach buggy
1x porsche speedster.
and a web master

At the moment the 13 window is at Big Bang in the UK trying to get his wings for BWA (Buses with Atittude)
Sub 18 second quarter mile in a bus.

It came to the UK as a 13 window deluxe, and promptly had a 2332 fuel injected motor stuffed in the back
(Anyone who wants to donate gearboxes welcome)

Were looking for visitors to the site and forum, we also have t-shirts and stickers available to fund the racing.

Were all new to this shit, none of us are mechanics but have some very helpful racers is the VWDRC over here

Visit us at http://www.skintaracing.com  and wish us luck.

Sure at some point the others will end up racing as well.
