I know that Larry Still did all the chassis assembly and welding
after the kit came in from Ron Lummus as a bunch of tubes.
I think after that Trent has had trouble finding the right person
to work on the car....but it turned out great!
Knowing how much I had invested in my car, and how I
did most of the work myself, I would say there is over 150G in
that car.
Yes, with the right crew on the job it will be very fast.
So far bests of 10.40's@140+ I believe.

This car is a very nice looking bit of kit.... What sort of driveline they running? We can not possibly have enough of these sort of Dubs at the
track...IMHO. Can't wait for some of the other PRO style cars start making moves for the ranks....
Keep the flag flyin boys...All of VWOz is behind you!

who built my drag car
Hi to all ...this is my first post on the forum...Rod Penrose mentioned that there was some discussion about my drag car on the weekend at the
shoot-out ,so i thought that i better check it out.... so here i am.
I noticed that there is a bit of discussion as to who actually
built the car.
All the parts came from RLR and initial fabrication was by larry....the rest of the car planning fabrication and assembly was done by cv performance &
city performance .
CV RACING sponsor the tune up and pit crew for the car and have been a great influence with the car....CITY PERFORMANCE CENTRE perform all
fabrication and installation ....they are currrently fitting a mendeola transmission and the motec ecu,cdi and dash...
BOTH OF THESE BUSNISESS COME HIGHLY RECOMENDED
AS WELL AS RON LUMMUS RACING.....
Hope this information is informative and look forward to being a part of aussieveedubbers

Hi Trent
10.45 @145 is fantastic. Looks like from your speed the Et is going to come down a lot once the car is sorted. you should be able to do a low 9 . I
cant wait to see the car at the track again.
