Title: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Udo on December 08, 2011, 07:10:17 am As some of you know i bought the Skaggs pro stock car, This car was no. 1 in prostock during the last years . I knew this car since the 90's when andy costello raced it and was a great fan of it. I am happy that it arived save , i got it without engine and gearbox so it is up to me to make it fast :-) . My green car is got stored in the garage waiting for racing someday, i do not know when ...
Udo Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Fastbrit on December 08, 2011, 08:25:03 am Well done, Udo! A lot of history with that car. Do you know, the engine that Frank von Berkhom used in No Mercy after he bought it from me was originally from that car? I found it for sale in the USA and put Frank in touch... Small world!

Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Jon on December 08, 2011, 11:04:27 am Knowing the pedigree of your green car, I bet it turns out that this one used to be Inch Pincher Too ;)
Congratulations Udo! Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Udo on December 08, 2011, 12:48:10 pm Well done, Udo! A lot of history with that car.

It must be the egine that Reynolds and Lanning raced ? Andy put his super street engine in it as far as i know. I like the old mild steel chassis from Ron. this is what i was looking for. Very strong and save driving. Udo Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Fastbrit on December 08, 2011, 13:16:09 pm Well done, Udo! A lot of history with that car.

Christian Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Udo on December 08, 2011, 21:39:00 pm The paint needs some polishing but i like it and it should be like it is. I have got a VW trends magazine from 1994 with the car , there is some more to read about the history . funny that a car that was built in 1990 is still a record holding car :)

Tobi Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Udo on December 09, 2011, 20:57:19 pm Thanks all . i first want to go to malmö or bitburg in april or mai . With my mag case engine first , i like that motor
Udo Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Ole on December 09, 2011, 21:45:10 pm Hi Udo,
congrats, well chosen purchase! Mag case, way to go. Can't wait to see it in the flesh! Ole Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: bugnut68 on December 10, 2011, 00:00:54 am It's my understanding that Todd Reynolds is still racing, as I saw him driving a red Bug of some sort (Super Comp? Super Gas? can't recall) on a recent Ocean Street Video DVD from I think the Southern Cal Bugorama a couple years back. Mike Lanning, as I recall reading elsewhere on the web a few years ago, was sent to prison for killing his wife; there was a mention of it in the following thread: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=249334&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
Please ignore the absurd claims that the car in that thread is somehow tied to the original Inch Pincher; totally different topic for a totally different thread. ;D Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Udo on December 10, 2011, 07:15:11 am I think they talked about my old car here in europe is something like the inch pincher in the us .
Udo Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Todi on December 11, 2011, 15:38:16 pm Congratulations to a nice car!
Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: TSAF on December 12, 2011, 10:22:26 am Congratulations for your new acquire. A magnificent car of VW drag history.
Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Frank LUX on December 12, 2011, 12:50:12 pm Upper cool Race Car Udo!!! Herzlichen Gluckwunsch!!! See it on the Track next Year!!!
Frank Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Harry/FDK on December 12, 2011, 16:52:37 pm Übercool Udo !
Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Udo on December 12, 2011, 19:41:20 pm In my opinion we have now with this car and the Vanderhorst car 2 of the nicest race cars. We are very thankfull for this ...
Udo Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Harry/FDK on December 12, 2011, 20:51:33 pm We are very thankfull for this ...
Udo And very Happy !!! Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Zündfunke on December 13, 2011, 14:20:21 pm Congrats Udo!
Nice choice! Can´t wait to see it in BIT. Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Cornpanzer on December 23, 2011, 16:59:27 pm Ive seen that car make a LOT of passes. Hate to see it leave the US, but looks like it found a good home.
Congrats! Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Udo on December 23, 2011, 20:31:13 pm I know that some us racer do not like to see cars going . But we need some good race cars in europe and you can be shure it got a good home and will be raced a lot..
As i menitioned we are very happy that we have now 2 of the nicest cars ever built in my opinion - Vanderhorst super street and skaggs car. For me it is still the car Andy Costello raced because i have it in good memory . He was a very nice and funny guy Udo Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Nico86 on December 24, 2011, 14:16:47 pm Cool Udo!

Congratulations !!! Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Bewitched666 on March 21, 2012, 15:43:33 pm Congrats Udo with your new pro stocker,have seen it race in the states a few times when Andy used to race it and then Mr Skaggs
Cheers Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Udo on March 21, 2012, 19:31:21 pm I know i started a very hard heir :) but it will get faster each year that is for shure but i will keep it prostock legal to see the difference to the us racer. I saw it first in 1992 . i took this picture at phöenix bugorama . I was watching out for a chassis car for a longer time but only for Ron Lummus chassis . those are still the best in my opinion. this mild steel chassis i like most .
I also saw Andy racing it Udo Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Bewitched666 on March 22, 2012, 08:13:41 am Udo,the car you bought did it look like this when Andy was racing it prior to the new paint job as you bought it from warren?
Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Udo on March 22, 2012, 08:44:14 am This is something that i do not know. When he raced it it had the paint job like it is now as far as i know
May be someone els knows it Udo Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Udo on March 22, 2012, 21:26:22 pm Udo,the car you bought did it look like this when Andy was racing it prior to the new paint job as you bought it from warren? This is another car , what i was told the old Mc Donalds car from Jeff Payne Udo Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Udo on May 11, 2012, 14:14:22 pm Had a nice dynosession today with the "smaller-mag case" engine. I checked the ignition,gearbox,fuel system. Everything is ok. It made very good 280 hp . pulls strong from 3000 up ..
Ready for Bitburg Udo Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: bugnut68 on May 11, 2012, 16:59:45 pm Udo,the car you bought did it look like this when Andy was racing it prior to the new paint job as you bought it from warren? This is another car , what i was told the old Mc Donalds car from Jeff Payne Udo I think Ben Pada owned that car, and Andy ran his drivetrain in it at the time... I believe it was the last car he drove before he passed away in 2001... :( :'( Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Frallan on May 12, 2012, 00:44:53 am Had a nice dynosession today with the "smaller-mag case" engine.

Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Udo on May 12, 2012, 06:47:01 am As i said this is the spare engine. when you think about that the guys in the us raced those engines 20 years back .... Now the small super stock engines make power close to it. First i want to go save with the car,next year i will try to go over 300 with the other engine
Udo Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Mirco Jufer on May 12, 2012, 06:52:46 am Love to see them in action next week ;)
Do you know when the Gates in Bit are open for us? Is this Year racing on friday too? Thanks and see you there Udo. Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Udo on May 12, 2012, 11:37:50 am the gates open on thursday at 1900 and they want to start driving on the track friday at 1300 if everything works
See you there Udo Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Udo on May 20, 2012, 19:59:27 pm First time in the pits at Bitburg. all i can say this car is incredible.... :)
Udo Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: richie on May 20, 2012, 20:46:24 pm looks good Udo :)
How did it run? how was the track and weather? cheers richie Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Udo on May 20, 2012, 22:02:34 pm weather and track was perfect, it run very nice.the only problem i had was that i could not use the wheeliebars so i had to take care at the starting line and the 60 feet were not that good
11,2 . 10,6 , 10,2 Udo Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: richie on May 20, 2012, 22:06:54 pm That 10.2 is impressive 1st time out in a new car,maybe not using the wheeliebars helped ;D
When do you plan on racing next? cheers richie Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Udo on May 20, 2012, 22:31:04 pm in 2 weeks at vandel
hope to see some others there Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Frallan on May 20, 2012, 22:39:00 pm 10.2!!!!
Wow! That is very impressive. Title: Re: Another car from the us arrived Post by: Greg G on May 21, 2012, 02:47:43 am Udo,the car you bought did it look like this when Andy was racing it prior to the new paint job as you bought it from warren? This is not the car Udo now has. You would not believe who is now racing this car. It has had a couple different owners since Andy raced it. One owner turned it upside down and the present one touched the wall earlier this year.
