Title: Re: VIDEO GARY BERG vs RAY VALLERO IN 1983 !! Post by: ugly duckling on December 20, 2010, 05:39:51 am Very true TXT. You do have to admit that a reg vw front end with oem steering is a lot more forgiving than a rack. You of coarse are a natural COWBOY so I don't think you would have a problem ;)UD.

Post by: kingsburgphil on December 20, 2010, 06:22:36 am Along those lines, I question the use of small diameter steering wheels on cars that race in "straight" lines. :D
Title: Re: VIDEO GARY BERG vs RAY VALLERO IN 1983 !! Post by: TexasTom on December 20, 2010, 06:25:55 am This video just reminds me of back in the early 90s when the Bergs brought the car out to Texas for our Bug-In ...
I remember Gary bringing the car into the waterbox and coaxing the tires into a very conservative start ... couldn't have been more than 4000 rpms in 2nd. He then ever so slowly persuaded the engine to climb up ... up ...up till you knew it was over ... then it increased even more moving through at least 3, if not 4, octaves to probably well over 9000 rpms, held it there for a few seconds and rolled out under power. Probably the best, most controlled burnout I've ever witnessed and the sound still raises the hair on my arms when I think about it. Wish I had a video!

UD, Thanks for the advice Jeff, If I wanted to RACE , I would built myself a car and beat the shit out of it. I will take this baby for some passes and I guess that even treated with respect it will still be quick & will be fun to drive too. The engine that will go in the car will have circa 180hp at the wheels, more than enough to have fun. ;D I know that the gearbox was meant to handle (much) more power ;) madfrog Title: Re: VIDEO GARY BERG vs RAY VALLERO IN 1983 !!

Title: Re: VIDEO GARY BERG vs RAY VALLERO IN 1983 !! Post by: Chris Andrews - The Mailman on February 24, 2011, 00:01:29 am UD,
How did you ever come up with my High School graduation picture? Wow, I have forgotten what I looked like w/ red hair :o But seriously Jeff, I did not receive a text from you on New Years day. So, HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Do you feel better now? Chris Title: Re: VIDEO GARY BERG vs RAY VALLERO IN 1983 !! Post by: Nico86 on February 26, 2011, 20:07:02 pm From http://vintage-autohaus.skynetblogs.be/

Post by: Chris Andrews - The Mailman on February 26, 2011, 20:44:58 pm It is good to see that Ray's 912 has avoided any visible alterations. When I took possession of the car from Ray (in 1990), I vowed not to visibly alter the car. Rather, I would perform any necessary alterations regarding drivers seating position and current safety rules. I did not remove any items from the car nor did I butcher any. Realizing that my family was of greater importance than that of continuing to remain the caretaker of this car, reluctantly I transferred it to Jeff Denham in 2003. One can only hope that the legacy of this vintage racing icon shall remain preserved for future generations to appreciate.
Respectfully, Chris Andrews - The MAilman Title: Re: VIDEO GARY BERG vs RAY VALLERO IN 1983 !! Post by: madfrog on March 05, 2011, 12:50:50 pm Hi Chris
The car is now being worked on to be put back on the track. The car will be left all original except for the safety features like seats, safety belt or glass headlights... Thanks to you and Jeff to have keep it as it was, this car impress everybody by its presence. Will keep you posted about the progress. madfrog Title: Re: VIDEO GARY BERG vs RAY VALLERO IN 1983 !!
