The race for the first 7 between Hater Maker and the Red Baron is the best thing to ever happen in VW drag racing.

Title: Re: World's Fastest Bug Post by: OgCalLook on September 07, 2010, 00:55:01 am Found a burnout vid..... The Kris and Jason show
when they finally put the power to the ground - holy crap!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q46pmThf_68&feature=channel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q46pmThf_68&feature=channel) Title: Re: World's Fastest Bug Post by: FTG Racing on September 07, 2010, 07:26:42 am The track announcer said they were 8 pounds light, so those times were not records That car is an animal!!! We reset both the A/S & A/SX records on Friday night. Yes we were light on the 8.06 pass with the street car engine so it did not count for PRA. We did not account for the weight difference between the two engines and never crossed the scales until after the run.

Congrats Title: Re: World's Fastest Bug Post by: Billyisgr8 on September 08, 2010, 16:08:39 pm WOW!!! I can't believe the track allows guys to stand in front of cars doing their burnouts! That could have turned very ugly fast. As it was whoever that was almost got their toes run over.

Congratulations! After watching you guys progress over the years, I knew it was just a matter of time. You could tell the HP was there at the Bug-In this year. I commented to a friend that if you ever got the power to the ground, you'd set new records. The amount of weight you have on the front end has got to tell a story. I can only imagine now that transfers to the rear wheels to help you leverage your hook up. WOW! What an incredible accomplishment in the short time you've been at it with the sedan! Rick Mortensen Title: Re: World's Fastest Bug Post by: FTG Racing on September 22, 2010, 05:15:24 am Thanks everybody.
