Pretty quick, Steve.....wouldv'e been even quicker if you took the junk out of the glove box. 
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

I agree Greg but you need an Ipod to listen to on the return road, forgot to mention that Steve Muller won his class as well

I had to use 4th, when the intake temps came up around 1/2 the ECU dropped timing so didn't want to rev so I stuck it into 4th
