Title: Some "New" Old photos – race cars etc… Enjoy! Post by: Fastbrit on January 06, 2011, 17:33:06 pm A V8-owning friend sent me these, with the comment about how he felt sorry for me that there were so few photos on old drag racing sites which showed VWs!

The glass wagn was a very light all fiberglass car powered by what looked like a stock Porsche engine and had an old split, crash box trans. The car was so light that off the line, it would leap into the air with all 4 tires off the ground.
