Title: Next VW in the 7s in europe, who will it be
Post by: richie on August 20, 2015, 16:06:24 pm
I have just seen Leif has gone 8.12@278 kmh[172mph] today at Tierp, with according to eurodragster a pedal as well :o  with Jens Petter running 8.03 in the Skinne beetle last weekend the race is on to be the next VW in the 7s, could we soon have three 7 second cars in Europe?  8)

I already made plans to take the cabrio to BRC and SCC next year, now we just need to get them all together  :)

cheers Richie

Who will be next is one thing.. who will be the fastest is another interesting question  :) The weather forecast is looking really promising for Tierp and the Skinne beetle is ready for the last race at Gardermoen Sept 5-6. After that we have the last race at Kjula which use to be a really good one with good air and good traction.

Thanks Richie. With that 60ft it is just a matter of time before he will manage a 7.

Cause his opponents break out even more and seem to be scared by the Beetle and red light  ;D
