How about this air cooled? We had a good time watching him, waiting for it to turn over. Those tires sounded like they were in pain.

Look again Mr Perez. That's a Porsche.

The Mercedes beat my time by .31sec. My time is sorta embarrassing when i see it on paper I'm used to being in the top 20, not bottom :brain:

Look again mr artieparty, it was a joke.

Wow.

Cute that he's got the same car number as the year of the car (that's a '73 Superbeetle, you can tell because it's got the curved windshield but does not have the energy-absorbing bumpers) but classing him in ESP? C'mon, that's just cruel.

I don't hate ACVWs. In fact, I went through that phase years ago. Had a '76 Baja conversion and a '71 Cabrio the same color as that blue 73 car. They have their fun points, but I would never dream of subjecting one to any kind of motorsport that involves paved surfaces.

Actually, if I ever stumble across the right one, I'd likely buy a Karmann Ghia.

There's a local guy that runs his early 60's beetle in SCCA vintage races. Has a 68 VW bus tow and support vehicle. Both are painted classic light blue. The race car has been raced since new. Pretty cool. He's run on a couple of the track days I've done for practice or shakedowns.

Man, he must time his runs down the front straight with a sundial.
