Title: 11 Second Bus ? Post by: Peter Roberts on August 31, 2009, 13:49:08 pm I've been keeping in touch with someone at York Drag Strip here in the UK , and Paul Hamilton from VWSpeedshop is at the 2nd UK Drag Day , testing the new motor setup in his Bay Window panel van . It has a turbo motor and has run a best of 12.6 last year .
He has driven the bus the 2.5 hours to the track 8) So far he has done 2 passes , the first a 13.2 , the second 12.0 @ 114 :o , backing off in third . Title: Re: 11 Second Bus ? Post by: Trond Dahl on August 31, 2009, 14:59:08 pm shit, I need a bigger engine! Outrun by a bus ;-)
