Meet The Beetles?

[Rory McNeil]

Is this a new class this year for the aircooled VWs? We have 3 10 second VW Beetles that race in our local stickshift association, I wonder how close that they are to being S/S leagal. I`m assuming it`s a lbs per displacement class, just can`t see a 36HP factory rating combo running that quick!

New class SS/VX.

Anyone remember the names: Gene Berg or Steve Tims? In the '70's these guys were kings of the VW brigade. Steve drove a Karmen Ghia and Gene was in a Bud.

[Mark Yacavone]

Chuck , As suspected, Greg Tims, (white Bug) is the son of Steve Tims.
Also , the red Ghia is Steve's 70's race car.
Nice to see something different out there, rather than just SBC powered jelly beans.

I ran a A/SM hemi Cuda in '77 and '78. It seemed like every race I had to run Steve in the L/G (I think) Ghia. Those days were competetive and fun!

[Floyd Staggs]

1st rd SS Doug Gonzales SS/VX against Bill Chafin SS/BX. That will be fun.

Thanks for posting that info-I talked to Larry in Topeka in 2005 when they were running in the all motor import class. He struck me as a good guy-glad to see him in SS.
