If we sign up T-6 and there isn't enough what happens? do we get bumped to T-3 or is it too late and we don't race?

Just imagine how long it's going to take four 36hp cars to make it down the strip..... Does the timer measure in days.... Hey we can all break out our sundials to time them........ :lol:

I know it's all in good fun and I'm not taking it serious but you might want to check out the Vintage Speed forum and see what Al and I have done. I know it's not blistering speed but Al (OMT on the Samba)is in the low 10's and I'm in the mid to high 10's in the 1/8th. Faster than stock late models bugs and I know as fast or just under some "performance motors" . No sundials needed for us :D

Julio, I stand corrected, you guys were faster then I would have thought... not Chrawford fast but fast none the less... Keep it up...

Julio, nice talking to you today, I was the bald little guy taking to you this morning. Didn't get to talk to Al (bummer) as I need some oil lines after I got my fittings from Butcher shop George. I an going to try and get the WW Okrassa in my 56 oval to race at Bug-In, problem is I won't have the time to drive it so am looking for a drive, Might have one of the VTO Powder Puff girls drive as they did real good today

Right on, definitley not Crawford fast but our little 36ers scoot. Al in the 356 ran a 10.41 and the best I could do was a 10.86...next stop The Bug-In.

Christian,
It was nice to meet you too, glad to hear you had a good time. When you said to "Look for the German guy in Lederhosn" you weren't kidding, it wasn't that hard to spot you :D See you next year!

Nice talking to you too, I loved the reaction on your face when I opened the decklid and you couldn't have chosen two better people to get parts from, they definitely know what they are doing! Hope to see your car run at Bug-In.
