OK Ladies,

We only have 3 more weeks till Drag Day, and then 3 weeks after that is Bug-In!  So how are your cars coming along?  I really hope everyone is ready to be there and race.  My motor is still on the bench in Mike's shop - but he promised me it would be done soon!!!  He has never let me down yet!

We have already got some sponsors, and I am sure there will be more, just like at the last Drag Day.

I got a call from Susie at CB Performance today, and she wanted to know where to send the check to for the class!

So far, we have:

Sam       Rancho Performance          $250.00
Rick       CB Performance                 Not sure of the amount yet
Elliott     Blimp                                $50.00

I just want to thank these generous people for always being there to support the ladies.  You guys are great!  And I know the ladies thank you also.

Come on ladies - we had 19 cars at the last Drag Day - I want a bigger class this year - especially at Bug-In.

Take Care & See You All Soon!

Wow - thanks Jim & Candy (JCL), Mike & Roger.  That is very generous of you.

You all are awesome!

A comment from a few guys was made to Mike last night at Nick's, about how the ladies are doing so great with the sponsers. So, they were thinking about dressing up in a dress & wig and going to try to compete.  You guys are funny!  Make sure you wear a pair of sensible pumps with that dress.

But seriously - I want to thank all of you again - you are awesome!

Susy

Hey Susy,

It's great to see you guys... uh Ladies  :) get such support and sponsorship from the VW Community.

Great job in putting this on!

Rick

Thanks Rick,

I know how very lucky I have been with all the support, and I appreciate it so very much.  My husband Mike, has been alot of support for the ladies and myself.  He was the one that lined me up with most of the sponsors the first Drag Day.

And of course all the support from the ladies has been awesome! I am really excited on how well it has been embraced by everyone.

Last Drag Day in October - all the ladies had such a great time, and I will continue with PowderPuff as long as the ladies hang in there with me, and have a great time.

Susy

Dave Rhoads gave Mike $50.00 for sponsorship for Bug-In!

Thank you very much Dave - The ladies & I appreciate your generousity!

Susy

Yea - my husband worked very hard, and got my motor in my car today and running.  It sounds great.  Thank you, Mike for all your support always!  I would also like to thank Bill Schwimmer for coming over tonight and helping out with the final start up!  You are always a great life saver, and always willing to help!

I also want to thank Fred Simpson, Jeff Denham, John Ferguson, Richie Webb, Dave Rhoads, Rick Sadler, Rick Tomlinson, Steve Dalton and the list could go on.  You are all so awesome, and I always appreciate everything that you do and have done for me.  Your support for me has always been there, and I could not have done it without you!

Thank you Again!

Susy Herbert

Time to kick some a$$! Have fun at the races...  :)

Ole & Grant from Welding Works just gave another $50.00 to sponsor the ladies.  Thanks guys - we appreciate it.

Susy

Well another Drag Day has come and gone, and only three weeks to get ready for Bug-In. 

There were 14 ladies signed up this time, and 12 made it to qualifing.   My car was running so awesome (for 2 passes), but after I started my car going up to make the 3rd qualifing pass - I head a little knocking - so I shut it off and called Mike, and the rest was history for the day. I was pushed back to our pits. Mike check it out a bit and decided my day was over (as far as racing)  Oh well - stuff happens. Not sure of the damage yet, but we will find out more this week or weekend.  Mike worked so hard to get my car ready, and then that happened.

The ladies had a great time as usual, and Dee Berg in her stock split window, was the big winner, with Kelly Fanning as runner-up.

It turned out to be a beautiful day - should have put sunscreen on earlier (pretty fried).  Mike and I stayed at the track last night, and it was pouring, and we even had hail!  So we were just praying that someone did a rain dance to scare the rain away, and someone must have - because it was an awesome day for racing.  I hope Bug-In has this nice of weather.

I want to thank all the sponsors again - you all are so wonderful.  Like I said -the ladies had a great time, and I hope to see more at Bug-In!  Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Take Care,
Susy Herbert

Hi Suzy
Good to hear you had so much ladies for racing . Do you have a qualifyinglist ?
I hope our european ladies know that we have to run bracket racing . I think you do the same ?
