Rod Penrose Racing
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the people that have supported me over the last 8 years since I started Rod Penrose Racing.
I started building engines and re-selling a variety of components to help with the building costs of my new drag car .
On the 27 th of April this year I broke my own record for the fastest VW in Australia that I set in 2001 . The new car on its 4th outting went 8.74
seconds on the 1/4 mile . The speed is not quite there yet at only 149.8 MPH , however I am confident that the car has a lot left in it yet .
As it turns out I actually have the fastest 3 VW cars in Australia dating back to 1998 when I was the first person to run a 9 seond pass in a VW .
I will continue to supply parts , engines and advice on all performance levels to the VW enthusiast that wants more power out of their cars . I have
purchased an 800 HP Stuska dyno from the US and will now expand my knowledge and be able to tune and experiment so much more with this at my disposal
.
I will also be expanding the range of components , up dating the website and releasing a lot more exciting new products at a discounted rate for my
customers . My aim is to supply all of my products at the lowest possible prices and have a good supply of stock on hand at all times . RPR is about
making enough money to fund my racing and to give people some idea of what I can actually do to make a VW go really fast .
I am now honing in on the 7.89 second world record that I am aiming for .
So thanks once again to all that have supported me and hopefully I can re-pay you with some exciting and fast racing in the new car real soon ,
ROD .
More boost + More fuel = More power

I don't know how he does all this, and still has a sense of humour.
More fuel + More boost + More POWER to you, Rod.
See you at W. Park,
Cheers, Greg
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Nice... Wishing you all the luck on becoming the World Champ!
Looking forward to coming down and having a look around...Is it safe to presume you have a stall at the Nationals again this year?

Yeah I was thinking the same when started reading through, but then I realized Nah... Rod'd just get bored !!!
Major congrats on the business and the progress with the new car Rod... obvious that there's a lot more to come with both.

Rod-I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your friendship and support for the last 10 years.The first time I crossed paths with you
was at the Adelaide Raceway when you bought your chop top car over.From memory you trashed the gearbox and you looked pretty pissed next day at the
car show at Glenelg.You have been an inspiration to me and I guess many others as well.Wade and I had the ultimate father/son trip with you and the
other blokes to the States with a special mention to Greg Mackie.Keep doing your stuff and keep us all inspired.

I wouldn't be anywhere near a track either if it wasn't for Rods generosity to lend me an entire running race car so a big thanks for that and
countless other things over the years. Bring on the 7's!!

Well done Rod.
Cant wait to see the new car run to its full potential.
With two USA cars running similar combinations, and also guning for that world record,
it would be nice to see and Aussie with his name on it first!

Well done Rod, hope you make a run in Perth one day, was easy to pop in and see you but since I will be leaving for Perth tomorrow it might make it a
bit awkward
Rod has said It is going to be an engine only dyno

Can't wait to see the record with your name on it mate!! From a business point of view you have always been willing to help out and either source or
supply parts and recently helped me freight my new engine here from the states. Your knowledge and expertise on getting my engine here is something I
don't have and took all the stress out of handing over a hell of a lot of cash to someone on the other side of the planet for something I hadn't
seen in the flesh. Big thanks to you and your contacts in the states for all your help!!

Good luck Rod, and thanks for helping me bring Olive back to life after her engine died. Not to mention her shit hot interior that you put together as
well.
I appreciate the fact you are always willing to help out, even when you are flat out.
Good luck with your business and I look forward to buying more stuff off you.
Cheers
