Mike, I can assure you that if you and your family or anyone from the VW Drag Racing community in the US was to visit Australia, you will be welcomed

Yeah it sorta closed a massive weekend for me...
Ben's car was doing nice skids and hooking up really nicely after correcting the front brakes... He's done a great job on that car and Morgs was 'a
man of many hats' all weekend.
So looking forward to seeing your car run too Barry... Sydney is getting closer!!!!
