Title: 8.9 second bug Post by: White knuckle on July 13, 2007, 20:44:41 pm Could anyone give me more info on www.nystromracing.com this bug
and what might be involved in run such a car are turbo cars of this type headaches is it simular to KS s motor in no mercy I saw it get out of shape once will it go straight or is it just to unpredictable Thanks for any advice or thought on this Title: Re: 8.9 second bug Post by: flatfire on July 13, 2007, 22:36:49 pm This car is an Iconic VW raising the bar in VW drag racing. I remember it at Big Bang 3 years ago the track was pretty greasy and obviously traction was an issue.
Hopefully we will get good weather at Bug Jam so we can see you or Bernie set a floorpan record. We saw two bugs heads up run an 8.9 and a 9.0 second 1/4 at the Bugorama in 1999 it was brilliant but obviously dry. Looking forward to seeing your car again you never know we might end up against each other :) Title: Re: 8.9 second bug Post by: ugly duckling on July 14, 2007, 02:25:48 am hello white knuckle. having a person that can tune the engine is the key to a monster like that. you cant get to greedy. im sure they have had there blunders every body does hopefuly not poping to many high$$ parts. but it seems they have it down now for sure. 74x101.6 is just a tad bit differnt than what kieth had run. still type one based. wich is cool!! love that big BORE!! i think they could get alot more out of it. of coarse 94 bore has deffenetly proven it self for sure. i like the way this car works it remindes me of chris bubbetts car kinda loose. like riding a wild horse. yee HAAAA.. ;D build your self one white knuckle. its only money right. UD. ;)

The car is for sale, he is selling it to finance the last parts of his new bug. (http://www.nystromracing.com/images/tnproject_1.jpg) Title: Re: 8.9 second bug Post by: OveF on July 16, 2007, 10:00:32 am His homepage : http://www.nystromracing.com/
