Hi
They are priceless.
Doesn’t shit you that journalists always start a VW story with a barb about Hitler. You never read about what Nissan, Toyota, Subaru etc did during
WW2.

I tell you what, when I met him a few years ago, I asked him about the blower setup on the that car and he was as cagey as all hell.
But now I'm the wiser!
Thanx for the great pics

Wouldn't mind seeing some of those photos!
Post 'em here if you want...it's kind of relevant.
I actually have some old soundless footage of the Camel
car at Surfers Raceway from about '73 I think.
It is on a tape called"Wheels Of Fire" produced in Sydney
by the Shepard's I think.
The tape was purchased thru Dragster Australia Mag.

Was Peters car really the fastest VW in the world back then??? What were the numbers?
We hear very little about the Oz VW scene here in the UK and even less of the history, its all SO CAL etc but its nice to see whats happened and
happening else where!
Cheers,
Rob.

Yes thats right.
It WAS the fastest at various times
until Bob McClure ran into the nines with his turbo bug, in the late '70s.
Peter ran a best of 10.29 and ran as fast as 140mph.
All evidence points toward him being the first into the 10's.
The only other contender was Bill Mitchell
who is the director & founder of 'World Products' on the east coast of the USA.
He ran into the 10's around the same time, but refuses to discuss anything VW,
so until the dynosoars return, Peter Keegan was the man.

Wow thats amazing times for the 70's great reading on the other thread.
Bill Mitchell now does hipo V8 stuff, I spoke to one of his staff as Bill Mitchell Hardcore Racing and he said Bill was quiet about the VW stuff and
cut up one of the thunder bugs so no one else could have it  such a shame I
think Thunder Bug was one of my all time favorites!
Petes cars were good looking bugs, Great to see the camel bug is getting put back to it former glory!
Love Petes Thunderbug too what happened to that?
Cheers,
Rob.

Pete's thunder bug was chopped to make the Camel Car.
I recall the story was the roof was damaged on the train on its way back from racing in Perth in 1971.

Yes that is correct.
I bought it in Feb/March 1991.
That is 17 years ago.
