After waiting in the CSP showroom for around 10 years, this old orange lady asked me if I can take her back on the track  So I picked her up and started to make it raceready again... If you have old pictures of the car you are more than welcome to post it here!! I´am really looking forward to race this old lady.... Cheers.... |

new gearbox, new engine, check the brakes, new tires, new ignition and a lot of small jobs which takes a lot of time |

I have always liked this car since first seeing it. A classic drag look.

Good to see it back on the track . Most important is that you only drive it on good tracks like Bitburg . Not the "run what you brung" events that are all around in germany .
What do you think you got it ready to drive ?

In fact that there is not much interest in germany in vw dragracing it is good to see a new(old) car coming. Klaus Mulsow who is the most important part of our team is building a new car for the old engine of "the orange" :-)
See you Udo

Exactly what I was thinking, there's no better place for testing (except the DDD event, too much cars...) Ole |
