Hi Steve,Marcus
Thanks for the interest.Car 64 was built to NB historic specs.
Have raced in historic sprints twice against Mustangs,minis and Eh holdens.
have had a first place and second.has run 14.2secs over 1/4 mile.
Will be uploading more photos and specs at later date.
Running at Ballarat at Easter @ re-enactment of 1961 motor racing, will inform progress.
'57 ovl is almost complete,have spent mega bucks and will be for sale.
I will be uploading all photos and details of money spent.
Regards John |

I'm with Marcus on that! love the retro style racers. but I reckon Marcus might be a bit shy on the 1300. looks more like a 1835 or bigger?? Not
sure what the NB specs are but I would have thought you would have to be under 2 litre at least and maybe even 1600 max?
love the flash and BRM's and are those VDO gauges under the dash and a Porsche 356 tacho??

Love the race car, but while I lack the expertise of others on this forum that motor looks far more potent than a 1300!

Class Nb must be in the same cubic capacity class as the original motor was; and cc can be varied within that; meaning that a 1200 could be made a
1300 but a 1300 (1285) doesn't have much scope for capacity change.
This looks like it has DP 1300 heads off a later model beetle; which strictly speaking isn't allowed by the rules. But there is a spec sheet that has
been approved by cams that shows a car with DP heads and a 34mm carb running in the more restrictive Na class so because its been approved previously
its all above board.
I would love to hear more details of this car as i've always wondered how competitive a bug would be in class Nb; I run a 1300 deluxe in regularity
at historic meets with a stock motor and thought watching the class Nb cars that a bug couldn't be made competitive against some of the others in the
class.
Cheers
Shaun

link to class regs.
Also FYI a 1300 can be made for power; see the blogs by this bloke in the UK with a GAC built 1300 running twin 44 idf's and FK cam with 140bhp.
Problem is all his power is above 5500rpm!!!

A 1275 Cooper S would take a bit of beating........however, it would be a lot of fun trying.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

How is this Beetle going in the Nb class-Still racing?Looks great!!
I used to work at a Mini garage in Sydney who raced cars in Nb and the Sports Sedans.Minis were my first love-now trying to move onto a Beetle
I would have thought a 1300cc or 1600cc Beetle would struggle to keep up with a Mini Cooper S - isn't it just a bit heavier?Whats a Beetle
weigh,about 850kg?

A stripped 1200 model bug should be around 700-720kg without driver just guessing though as I haven't weighed mine yet but am going on my rego prior
to stripping
An advantage a bug has though is it's better under brakes than the mini's
Also a mini gets better lap times in the race as they get sucked along as they generally stay with the big cars on the track until the straight; I
improved my lap time by 2 secs at wakefield park purely by tailing a valiant lap after lap down the straight; loosing him but then getting him back by
turn 2 and loosing again up the hill.
