Title: 10 years of Old cabrio in USA
Post by: richie on September 22, 2018, 18:03:40 pm
10 years ago I was collecting the cabrio from the docks just north of LA after shipping it over with the main aim of competing in Unlimited Street west and some other VW races and also March meet & generally having some fun with it, well that certainly has happened ;D but I never imagined back then it would still be there 10 years later and that I would have run an 8 in it & even tried to complete Hot rod drag week with it.
Next sunday it is USW again & I will fly out tomorrow to race it again but this time is a little different as it will probably be the last time as the plan is I will try to finish Drag week again next year then ship it home, these pictures were from collecting it at the docks back then, It has certainly evolved :o

I think doing The Drag week should be something in any racer life  :)

Now nearly 16 years and its still their!!!!   Since moving everything to the East coast I found even more events that I want to compete in, and now it seems to be somewhat reliable again  I guess it will be there a while still yet :o

Sick week, Rocky mountains (not sure of the name, but Larry Larson compete a few times). They sure have quite a few ways to have fun there!  8)
