After waiting in the CSP showroom for around 10 years, this old orange lady asked me if I can take her back on the track  So I picked her up and started to make it raceready again... If you have old pictures of the car you are more than welcome to post it here!! IŽam really looking forward to race this old lady.... Cheers.... |

new gearbox, new engine, check the brakes, new tires, new ignition and a lot of small jobs which takes a lot of time |

I have always liked this car since first seeing it. A classic drag look.

Good to see it back on the track . Most important is that you only drive it on good tracks like Bitburg . Not the "run what you brung" events that are all around in germany .
What do you think you got it ready to drive ?

In fact that there is not much interest in germany in vw dragracing it is good to see a new(old) car coming. Klaus Mulsow who is the most important part of our team is building a new car for the old engine of "the orange" :-)
See you Udo

Exactly what I was thinking, there's no better place for testing (except the DDD event, too much cars...) Ole |
