Russ Fellows turned out an awesome 9.3 second pass in his road legal (yes, really a proper road car!) Bug at VW Action this past weekend. Will we see an 8 at the Euro Finals at Santa Pod this coming weekend... watch this space!!

12.02 second Bay window in the UK!

Congratulation to Paul Hamilton of VSM fame who managed an amazing 12.0 pass at York Raceway this past weekend. More amazing is that he drove his Bay window panel van to and from the event! With 500+bhp on tap, that's one wild, turbocharged Type 2!
Watch out for more soon - that was only the 2nd run.. this van has World-record breaking potential!!
