Would anyone know when Hot VW'S featured Dave Bonbrights car? Or have any pictures of it or Don Sheldons car?..Jim

describe the car an dif you know the year of the issue i can watch in my magazine  ;)

Thanks Speedwell,   the feature would have been in the 80's early i think, a black oval window.........Jim

Speedwell will find it Jim M ;D

::) ::) don't speak quickly bewitched , i 'm watching my magazine to the 84 issue and don't have found this one but i don't have any 82 year issue and not the entire 80 & 81 year  ::)
i will watch the 84 & 85 issue then after it's not early 80's  ;)

Speedwell,           According to Dave Bonbright, 1980 1981 he thought. He is a master innovator. First to put a bus box in a bug, first to bore a set of ida's out, first to make a vertigate style shift lingage....

i will watch with more attention ;)

Dave is the man !! He has done all the machine work on all my engines.  Top notch work

Jeff

Go go go Speedwell ;D

Someone could have told speedwell it was chopped!!

Oh and it's in the Dec 1981 issue, but i guess we'll wait for Speedy ;)

thanks joe  ;) i found it   ::) ::)

Joe and Speedwell, thank you.I might see if Dave might drop by this website....Jim

Dave is a super nice guy. Rick Eckler (sp?) too. It was always cool to BS with him @ Sears Pt at the weekend drags, one of the only other VW guys there. Just look for snow beanie.

Looks like Bob Walters is in that article photograph too....the man behind Dial-In Cams. Who owned the two roundy round cars? Looks like yellow one was sponsored by Rennsport, is that Rennsport Werke that was in Santa Clara, Jim Wellington's shop....the Hirth Crank Master.
My old boss, Jerry Young was in the thick of all this stuff in the early 80's too....

Yes it was Rennsport Werkes from Santa Clara, Wheeler Gresham III had the yellow one and the Pikes Peaks car was owned by Don Reader and George Gray, driven by Gary Lee Kanawyor. It says in the article that Bob Walters got the cars together for the shoot. :)

the yellow midget is owned by wheeler gresham - dad owned car - son raced it - dont know about other car - will relook - way to go joe - had to relook my self - bay area guy - raced against wheeler in 80's -

yeah sure, no love for me Tony >:(...just because I moved to LA...I was once a bay area guy too  ::)


 ;D ;D

JIM I DID NOT MEAN ANYTHING BY THAT - YOUR STILL MY BUD... - EVEN THOUGH YOUR IN LA - YUK

A sight to behold was the Bonbright and Hare blown rail. My favourite sound, it sounded so knarly, happy days :)

Here are some pics of Dave and Don's funny car in its current state.
