Thanks Guys , lots reading , mybe update Pics to . There's alot more ! then you think .It 's just our country is so bluddy big .


hellbugged - June 27th, 2009 at 04:05 PM

:rolleyes: ...aww im not fast enough...but i do have a 67 with one piece glass front in the shed


Dak-A-Tak - June 27th, 2009 at 04:23 PM

Reub , if you race it , to me more the better (motor make does'nt matter ) . Andra covered cars first becouse they are a real drag car ,but Rego cars like Rods (48ida) fit becouse they run 12.99 or quicker so you could enter a ANDRA meeting .
Imagine a race meeting with all comers from around Australia ( Vw Drag Nationals ) :D
Daimo ! how fast was your bug , I could work out about over quarter mile . Mate get to work on that other bug or Type 3 might make it .


VWFREAK - June 27th, 2009 at 04:28 PM

No pic's from me, I'm not showing anything from this build until it's done. Had big problems publishing a previous build (Can't trust everyone :td:)


polak - June 27th, 2009 at 05:13 PM

mike waldron will also be driving his beetle N/A by next yr as well as dave stoker's, well as long as time and money permits. we're basically down to little fiddlies and paint.

Also i dont know if this counts, as it probably wont get ito the 12's till early next year, its a build in progress with intention of drag racing, but my car will be at warwick this yr with a few little developments and then hopefully at portland with many more :tu::smilegrin::smilegrin:


Stanley - June 29th, 2009 at 10:56 AM

Hey Pete...put a link to your website in your signature block and then update your website ya slacka....:rolleyes:


Mick058 - June 29th, 2009 at 11:13 AM

I'd say i'd be able to run into the 12s, once the gearbox was done, which would probably be by end of year.

NSW - Mick Leite - 58 beetle (Suby EJ20T wrx Sti powered).

Obviously not aircooled - no need to include me on the list if it doesn't apply. :cool:

VW54: There are two Mike Clarke's . Red Back racing in SA. And Sauron from this site.

Red Back Used to race against the hot4 back aournd 2000 at AIR. Not sure if it was autocraft powered, or just a set of autocraft heads.

It went hard.

Don't forget Henry,
he has THREE yellow ovals that can easily be raced.


VWMA Editor - July 3rd, 2009 at 08:52 AM

Pete's memory is fading....

How about the car that over the last four years motivated a few Oz drag car guys to pull their finger out and finish their cars that had been gathering dust?:lol:

The VWMA Rat Bug of course - '57 Beetle 2332cc Type 1 N/A.

OH, and for NSW Ross freestone,
Hotdog Chop top Bug. 2897cc N/A.


Dak-A-Tak - July 4th, 2009 at 01:30 PM

Cool Dave , like the round corners on those doors .Dave , I think Ross's new name Hotdog is better then houndog :lol:.
When you start reading the list , there alot more cars then you think. Australia vw (drag) scene is booming , look at numbers of new cars and old racers steeping up ( me , freestone , trent , stocker, kristen and other) . Can't wait for Warwick this year !
