If you've been around VW's very long,this car might look familiar. Originally built 23 years ago,has been pretty much the way you see it for the last 20 years.461 cubic inch Oldsmobile with a Turbo 425 front wheel drive trans , in the rear.I will try to link in a video of car. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IULycVMhZxMAttachments:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdVsG3FgdR0 Second race is me. Ran an 8.05 1/8th mile.This was at Mooneyes Xmas show. Was running old 2.73 gears at that time. Now running 3.23 gears and new axles. See ya at next months Mooneyes show...12/12/2010. Should be easy high 7s. This car was never built to race,just to WOW the crowd. Just so happens it runs pretty well.No trailer queen here. Thanks for lookin..Norm.

Awesome, Norm! I have 3.08s in mine, for the time being, and I'm curious how well it'll do. That's pretty good for having such tall gears in the 1/8 mile. Be sure to get video of the upcoming event, or at least pictures with a cool story.

BTW, you smoked that couple like a pack of Camels. I talked to the guy in the Coupe in the staging lanes. He had never had it down the track until then. It had a pretty serious motor in it and I didn't think he could control it. Figured I better get out in front of him early and he evidently spun a lot out of the hole. His next pass he put it in the wall!! Crushed the left front suspension. Anywho, if anyone shows up at this years show, stop and say Hello !! www.mooneyesusa.com/

That sucks. Looked like a really nice car too. I'm sure he'll fix it.
I wish the event was closer. Have a good one.
