a "swapmeet miss contest" is that for the swingers amongst us? 

[Roman]

How tough will they inspect according to the tech? My car is OK according to SHRA and even NHRA rules down to 10.00 but doesn't pass this reglemet due to lack of scatter shield and I only have a roll bar. OK, I can always tell that my car is slower than it is...
Are mufflers really reqired? I have a muffler but I LOVE stingers!

[richie]

Done :-)  see you all there,cheers richie

Kobus, until when can we subscribe for the drag race or slalom?
It all depends on how well my little engine tune-up turns out 

Oh and if it does i'd like to race turtle on the 1/4 mile  right pal?

Excuse my ignorance, but what do i need for the 1/4 mile? A helmet and what kind of belts? Would a pair of simpson lap belts do?

[Lee.C]

[Russell]

[Roman]

[alex d]

done, Drag Racing and Slalom 

[Trond Dahl]

hmmm... seems whenever I speak about VW with anyone lately the conversation always include bugin europe.... funny how that goes...

[Kobus]

well well, sofar (after 2 days) we have over 100 aplications to go on the Dragstrip! depending on howmany want to play we may review our plans and alow more racers but then we'll plan out something with a more categorized racing... run cars in groups of 50 or so to keep staging times down... (any sugestions? input always welcome!)

would like to point out that those who are wanting to race and show off your car too in the show and shine, or have a go at the slalom too, then you need to fill out inscription forms for each seperate part of the event, this will then intitle you to access stickers to all these area's, non registered will all park together in the Aircooled parking :-) no waterpumpers will be around to spoil our pictures!

Gogogogogogo BUG-IN!!!!

[Dokke/DFL]

DONE !!!

[Mags]

Done.

[Kobus]

GOGOGO GET REGISTERED!!!

at the moment we got 148, yes 148 aplications for Dragracing allready!!! do keep registering your cars asap, also if you want to enter your racecar into show and shine fill out both forms, you will need to have access stickers to both dragstrip + Show and shine.

massive responce, and if i look at the list there's racecars (only aircooled! maybe we'll invite some musclecars to play with :-) but they would have to look periode!) from all over Europe!
and fast ones too! one sub 9 sec, and a whole bunch who should run 10s!!!  :-)

and for those who participate in Racing or Show and shine and turn out to be Winners... we'll have BUG IN Trophy's + Gift certificates + Magazine subscriptions etc...

Bring on the Summer!!!!

[ESH]

Sweet! 

[Udo]

Hi

 and braket racing on sunday !?

Udo

What??? you kidding right? cheers richie,uk

Hi Riichie

It is not like kidding. I think it is the best way to get everyone a chance to win in his class . Since we don't have different classes like you in the UK there are many different cars in one class. Do you like to race headsup against an 11 sec. car ?  I would like to have special classes and races only for VW's here in this area  but we need someone who does the organisation for a championship. Since the last years we have enough cars and tracks for races , but for now I think Bracket racing is the best.

Regards Udo

hi Udo,
i see your point but I didnt even realise there would be general classes as such? 
I think from what i have heard here will be a heads up class ;-)   
if not then i suppose i could go get an auto super beetle for brackets !!!!!!!!!!      cheers richie,uk

[Udo]

In bracket classes everybody can make his own best ET's  and getting faster each year. If you have special classes headsup is no problem . It was only a suggestion for the event. If you look at Spa when  a 15 sec car has to race against an 11 sec car headsup it makes no sence and has nothing to do with racing.

See you there Udo

[richie]

hey Udo,
was just messing with you  
 I only run against the clock so doesnt matter what is going on around me[most of the time I have no idea!!!] looking forward to dialing whatever you do    cheers richie,uk

Hi
If the OSL , who makes the timing does the inspection it will be not funny , only more serious . In bitburg we try to let oll cars on the track , if it is not too unsave like missing firewalls in the front or rear . The inspectors do not sleep .

Udo

[Mauro Cattan]

The inspectors do not sleep

Yes I know!
But if the inspectors will be serious many cars won't be able to race, I'm thinking particularly to the original gassers with their unsafe roll-bars or others with scotch-tape to support the front lights.


Cheers
Mauro
