POWDERPUFF RACING IN EUROPE!!! Kobus has already been approached by a awesome lady named Adele from the UK about having PowderPuff at EBI2. We have emailed back and forth, and she is so excited to get PowderPuff in Europe going on for the ladies. If he decides to go with it, then I hope I will be able to get over there again for the EBI2. EBI1 was a great time, and I would love to meet more people in Europe. You guys & gals rock, and know how to have a good time. I am excited for her also. I had gotten PowderPuff started back in the 80's at Drag Day at OCIR, and then it just died down. So this year, I approached Rich Kimball again after 20+ years, and he was all for it. (Thank you Rich!) Adele has already approached the promoter of VW events at Santa Pod Raceway in the UK, and he said he is more than happy to accomodate the PowderPuff Series at 2 Drag Strip Based VW Shows in April & August. Adele - You Go Girl!  I would love to see it catch on over there - the ladies here are having a blast! And I will continue with the PowderPuff for years to come! We will be having it at Bug-In 33! Good Times!! Susy Herbert |

Hello Susy! The main idea behind this is to run it along with RWYB days at Santa Pod/Avon Park Raceway /EBI and possibly Le Bug Show in Belgium next year! All pending confirmation I spoke to Susy about the idea of running a Powderpuff class this year at EBI, then thought about the possibility of running at Santa Pod, Avon Park and Spa! The aim is more a bit of fun for the girls just like it is in the US, just trying to test the water at the moment to see if there would be many females up for it! Trying to find out who really would be interested so i can work out numbers and best locations to run them, plus organise the sponsorship! If any of your 'significant others' would be up for it please let myself (or Susy!) know and if possible where you would prefer to race and what dates you could make ? At all of the above locations? Avon Park but not Santa Pod? or just Spa and EBI vice versa Thanks Adele |

Count Mrs Flatfire in. EBI or Santa Pod. She also likes Avon park as Stratford has nice shops.  A potential 12 second bug.  |

Sal would probably run at either SCR or EBI (or similar) in either my skip or whatever else we have lying about at the time. |

If it is Avon park it would be more convenient for a VWDRC round. This year OFF were there at the same time so hopefully it would be the same for 2008. I'm sure Bug Jam would also give the racing a large exposure to a Female audience. Just a thought IMHO and all that. |

Adele & Ladies,
Just got an email back from Kobus, and he said he loves the idea, and he is going to have a PowderPuff Class for the ladies to sign up for at EBI2!
Yea Kobus & Bug In Team - you are the men!
Adele - Take that and run with it. Good luck with your mission, and I know you can do it. All the ladies in the US are having a blast!
I hope to get to Belgium for EBI2, and that way I can be apart of the PowderPuff Ladies for the weekend. (well not racing), but to support them all!
Take Care,
Susy Herbert

Kobus, I love your enthusiasm - that will make it more exciting for the ladies! And yes, Adele is very motivated - and I have NO DOUBT in my mind that she will do such a wonderful job getting that class all together! I am just glad she wants to do it in Europe. She has taken on a big job, and it can be very time consuming, but she will come through with flying colors. Yea - PowderPuff VW Racing - US PowderPuff VW Racing - Euro Maybe Japan is next?? It could happen! Susy |

Thanks to everyone who has offered help! I spoke with Susy on the phone last night and have agreed to run with this at EBI2 just for next year to see how it goes and how much interested we have after that! After all thats where it first started, so see it fitting that it should first start at EBI over here Udo, Many thanks for your email, i will be in contact very soon! Thanks everyone else for the kind offers! Adele |
