Makes this Ghia go low nines on the South-East dragstrips... Go NitroMike!

nitromethane?

Splitman, you got a picture of my best side. :D

The only nitro part of the car is me...Nitro Mike. I got that nickname when I had a street ghia on the juice.5 different Mike's race out of the same shop. Every Mike got a nickname to keep us all from turning our head everytime someone called out "MIKE".

mechanical alky injected, turbo.
NO nitrous, NO nitromrthane.
24 lbs. boost, and start rowing my way too short gears as fast as you can, and hang on.

Hope to set a new Hot VW's AS/X 1/8 mile record this weekend at the SEVWA race
Current record is 6.21 and was taken from this car in 1999.
Abrakadabra held this record from 1993-1999 @ 6.22
I have gone as fast as 6.13 @ 115 mph at our local track. I need to be at a all VW 1/8 mile event to retain this record back to Abrakadabra.
