Yes bergs car did get a bit of a bounce going in 3rd and 4th gear.
Having shocks with no rebound operation helps
....as does 280hp!
My first run against him was at eastern creek.
As he went through the finish line right next to me,
the front suspension was going through its full travel 9000 in 4th gear...pretty radical set up!
I will try todig upsome pics andpost them here.

Very cool Dave, I have plenty of vid of Gary and you from 95. I even was lucky enough to race Gary in a grudge run when he ran one of his best (Oz vw
record ?) so I have the time slip here. He ran a 10.47 @ 110.19 mph.
And why is that top fuel driver smiling so much....Rachelle Splatt (sp) dont see her anymore...
The ghia is still in hiding, owned by Mark Callas (syd). Very nice, even had fuch's on his tandem axle trailer

Goodness Dave!! You are almost as old as me ... what's your secret??
Seriously though, at what age did you first hit the track in a VW to drag race?
Did you have a car prior to the one in '95?
(P.S. '95 was when I was still in my late twenties [just], fit enough to race A grade cross country MTB and had no children ... that makes it feel
like a long time ago now :-) )

When I bought the car I was 21, and I raced it for the first time on 10th March 1991.
Ran my first 11 , on 12 Oct '91, (I was 22 by then)
My first 10 on 9th Apr '94, (aged 24)
First Nine on 23rd Jan '99 (10 years ago this week!) (aged 29)
That is the same car I am still running. (turn 40 this year....dddoooohhh!!!)
I did build a tube chassis car that I crashed in Nov 2002. (9.94@147)
I did try my 1200 beetle at the drags before any propper drag cars, and it ran a 20.95 pass at 62mph(hooray). (2nd Feb '91)

I was at Indy they year you ran Dangerous. the echo's of a supercharged Volkswagen off the high rise buildings was unbelievable!! i was standing at
about half track(length of the straight) and was surrounded by V8 bogans. when i heard the noise I knew what it was and all the bogans were saying it
was a blown V8.
the look on their faces was priceless as you flew past then backed off with some nice flame action.....

Aww come on guys, where's the pics of the chop top at indy, '96 I believe, I ran against a v8 torana and he got done, but hell the track is narrow
and who the hell puts bends in a drag strip....turning at 90mph with 12 psi in the rear slicks and an angry v8 beside you is a real memorable
experience.
