Drag seen over here for VW's is small but growing, only 1 1/4 mile stip in Sydney, theres a few 1/8,s spread around, but not often running. No one
that I know of running a notch, be good to see.

yeah welcome.....
beetle looks sweet and great times too
plenty of notches around....... but yes still plenty of rust if you get the wrong car. you would be used to seeing beetles etc repaired that would be
scrapped down here tho
next VW drag meet (and the biggest) is Sept/October weekend.........good 900km from Manly but could easily set up ride through this site as plenty of
people making the trip from Sydney.....would be a great chance to see the country side too as it's a lovely senic trip to get there

Nice looking beetle mate, and no slouch of course.
Good to hear you've seen the light and allure of our great country! No shortage of your fellow countrymen/women in the VW scene over here

hey guys just found these, the first one was when the car was road legal, i drove it there and just strapped on a stinger....... then nailed the
gearbox on the next run, thatill teach me lol,
http://youtu.be/gJedoRQz2As
this one funny enough is the last run, 10.89 with a slipping clutch, ian kerr in the pick up hates bug's he thought i'd over heat but i'd fitted
cooling, you can see him stalling ....... i left him sleeping, so he ended up breaking out it was the final and he was well pissed
