Very nice looking machine, what's the engine spec and previous 1/4 mile times? Thanks for taken me to the ferry with the transporter after SCC and stopping after my puncture. Just after I had it fixed I got pulled over by a cop who was very intrigued by the A-frame towing of the Underdog. I'll be seeing you lot at next years SCC and bring my own car Frank Title: Re: my new racer Post by: Thomas 356 on September 05, 2008, 16:50:34 pm Here is som specs of the car and engine and gearbox

Just last week, a friend and I were discussing the low turnout at our recent VW show/race and we were wondering what happened to some of our local race cars that weren't there, including Darin Mack's bug
