I just want to send my congrats to Udo and Karin. Udo ran a 10,8 with his green Top-Chop. Karin ran an impressive 11,8 in her "heavy-weight", full street-trim, black 1967-beetle. Well done guys! I think Udo`s Top-Chop (known as St Moritz Express) is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, VW-dragrace-car in Europe that is still in action since 40 years. Udo races the car since 19 years now. Every season.
Not to forget Peter Girlich, who brings the famous "Aligator Push" with him and Frank Benders with his "Little Grey". Thanks to you all for keeping the aircooled VW-flag up.
Fingers crossed for Thomas Kemp. He will be very busy to fix his gearbox for SCC.

Thanks Helge . I am proud of Karin who did qualify 6. on a 53 car field. On the 1 race she was very exciting and did launch with low rpms . I was happy too to win 2 races until we had a rainout.
Next weekend at Drachten we have more racing action ...

See you Udo
