Hi Thomas,
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

That car (and it's owner) used to live here in Colorado. 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
