Yes but I ask the same question on the ultimate forum and so far Lloyd Mosher is fastest with the 10,82
Does any one here know some one faster ?

i bought my speedster in arizona, now, is it in france
the best time is 9.50 in 1/4 miles with 2275 turbo built by competion engeneering

That is fast, but it is turbo charged.
I think the fastest N/A in Sweden with a quite standard byggy is Madde Karlsson who made around 11.1 or 11.2 in the late 90's. Her brother Martin also had a buggy, but I can't recall any time. I think he still has it and is working on it from time to time and the car is insane with all billet details and home made 62.1 mm carbs (just to be a tad bigger than the Terminators!).

I know Ali Southcombe ran in the 10's back in the day, not sure if anyone has the exact numbers. Cool car as well, very clean thanks to Mr Deck height himself.

It will be nice to see Ali back out there, get better soon i reckon.

Thanks for the info I also renember a low 11 for Madde (11,14)
But when we talk about the Karlssons what about the type1 I renember for long time ago I have seen photos of it with a lot of billet did it ever hit the race track ?

[Roman]

I have seen it race but only in the early 90's when we raced mostly 1/8 mile in Sweden. Later on he made major updates but it has been quiet for a couple of years now.
Maybe some of the Skåne racers like Johannes Persson, Mats Herrlander or Frallan knows?

doug berg was in the 10's with his buggy. 78 x 88 motor i believe. Went for a ride in it at orange county wed night drags, Scary fast. bill

Martin has sold the buggy without the engine and transmission.

He has currently an Typ 1 full shassiecar, not together yet,  and is working on an 914 with alot of godies.

My favourite drag buggy - but a LWB one. I'm looking forward to seeing Ali back on track too - she's the one I first spoke to about drag racing at Bug Jam back in about 1998!

I made an article on Ambjörns and Martins buggy in Hot VWs called The Bug Professors. Will see if I can dig it out and post it.

Last year I took my 61 Terminators to Ambjörn and we sat down in the kitchen to compare his billet ones with the American made ones.
Yeah, we did have fun when we realized that he had made them 1,1 mm larger and not 0,1 larger than the original Terminators.
Anyway, his were clearly a hotter ticket visually. They have yet to be raced.

Doug Berg's  buggy was great. Does anyone have pictures of it?
BRM's
Tape wrapped around foam on the roll cage
I think he even ran it with a bug hood on the front for a while if my memory serves me right.
That thing was tough and rough. Almost a rat rod before it's time?

Spoke to Martin Karlsson yesterday about his old buggy and what he could remember, it was
6.60-160 something. He also tried 1/4 mile on one ocation but it was a cold and slippery.10.96

6.60 should be equal to 10.4 - 10.5 or so!

[Elnef]

6,60 and 160 hmm low speed for 6,60

my buggy go 7,04 and 159 in the 1/8

in the 1/4 Lloyd Mosher is stil the fastest with his 10,82

anyone know Bergs time ??

[bilboa2]

ok, had to call doug.best time was 10.79  121.86 mph, yes ,78 x 88. He tried the vw hood at sac, it did not help. weight was 1200 with him in it. He said o.c. raceway did not do 60 ft times back then on wed nights.  bill

[bilboa2]

can someone do the math on h.p. on dougs, and h.p per cc/c.i ?  I was sick that day...bueler?

I heard a rumour that Ali and Dave are seriusly considering entering the scene again. But I havent talked to them in ages, - like 5 years or so.
I know she actually did a 10,86 with backup at the the Pod the year before they decided to call it a day. But I dont know why it isnt listed. (I know because I was crewing that day, and watched the race from behind the starting line)

Ali and Dave are members of Outlaw Flat Four, and are intending to race again soon. Not entirely sure when, but I know there are plans!
I thought that Ali had got into the 10.8's, but wasn't sure!
