Re: Meet The Beetles?
Trend? I've been racing 4 cylinders in SS since 1986, they've been knocking the door down looking for the opportunity to compete. In all that time, there have never been more than two cars in my class. VW's have always been legal in Modifed Compact and now Modifeid Stock. Yeah, this is definitely a trend...

Re: Meet The Beetles?
VW's are way cool! I have been going to Farmington raceway in NC. for several years to watch the bug bashes since my daughter wanted a VW for her first car in 2006. VW's are no joke! the Pro Stock bugs run at 8lb per cube (i think) and turn in the low 6's at 110 in the 1/8, maybe faster now. I remember watching Shavers and Lee run A/modified compact in the 80's on the IHRA circuit and kick some butt! I saw the Evil Beetle at Farmington a year ago still bracket racing! The first time I saw a bug drag car It was a time trial with the A/MCP against my brothers 2 ton super stock wagon and it kicked his butt and removed the grin off my face. I had no clue that doodle bug was a rocket! Never laugh at a Bug! Don Jackson

Re: Meet The Beetles?
Jim,,,I've seen your cars over the years, throughout the NW, they run very well. I'm certainly old enough to remember VWs,,Pintos and so forth in Modified Compact too. I was just a little surprised to see these cars turnout in SS as opposed to showing up at a "Bug-In". There hasn't been a lot of these at Seattle (the one national event I attend yearly), over the years, but perhaps more of them will come out of the woodwork now.
Take care and see you on the Div.6 trail. Danny Durham |

Re: Meet The Beetles?
I remember a bunch of years ago at Pomona, the wind was really bad and there were a couple running then. The 1 went into the traps and the wind just blew the car right over on its lid. He did drive it back to the pits though. Any idea on who that could have been?
