VW Warwick 2014 VW Club Challenge
Hi All,
I am gauging VW club interest for a new competition at Warwick this year called the VW Club Engine Pull.
Basically, the competition will be to see which VW club team (5 team members maximum) can remove and install an air-cooled engine from a running VW
Beetle in the fastest time.
I won't list the specifics yet, but each VW Club will work on the same VW Beetle and the competition will happen over the two days - Saturday
practice and Sunday competition.
Cheers
Craig

Being a new concept, I'm happy to open it up to teams other than VW Club members if that seems the way to go. I reckon it would be a nice addition to
the weekend. Also tossing the idea around of a Herbie Movie night in the Marquee on Friday.

Craig just needs his rear main seal done and he can't be bothered pulling his engine out....! Lol! Just before the first team puts it back in he'll
whack that seal in!

In 2008 the record was set at 1 min 4 seconds. Out, back in and running.
