Early vw drag cars in oz
Yo Yo drag bug was owned by Earle Krygger(vic)which was supercharged vw powered in the 70,s.I think he may have ran high elevens (ill do some
checking).I do have a cool picture of his car, with the Aust flag painted on it.Peter Keegan was much faster low tens and was sponsored by camel
filter cigarettes.Like to know more about the empi deal if this was true becouse i have never heard it befor!!!!!!.Later he ran a vw dragster for a
while.
