I was at Day of the Drags today at Eastern Creek. I noticed that the black Dino's Pizza Bug was running. He was consistent all day with about 7 passes in total. Starting with a 14.245 pass @ 92.77 mph to blown out the cobwebs. The car managed to get down to a 13.062 Pass @ 99.38 mph. That makes for one quick pizza delivery.

The rodders all thought he was the pick to run against. That was until they started racing. This beetle held its own and won some respect.

Dino cracked his gearbox at Warwick last year and he told me that the boys at CBB - Custom Bugs and Buses built him a new one. The boys from CBB where also out there in support of Dino and the rest of his crew.

The new Volksrod that has been mentioned in that area of the forum was at the track as well. A very clean well built package. It received alot of notice amongst the rodders and lots of favorable comments. Its good to see respectable cars being built and being received as such. This thing sure sets a standard.

Well done Fellas for a good day out!

Awesome ET for that mph.
Good to see him flying the Volksy flag.

Awesome stuff....what engine combo?

i believe he is running a 2276 naturally aspirated. I bet he is still smiling

Slicks?

Cheater slicks....
Full report later this week.

Awsome work ... so dino u finally got that axle tramp under control... what were your other times for the day?
