Hello all. Looks like it's two VW guys in a row.
My name is Dana, and while I have never been to Land's End, or set foot on the salt flats of Bonneville. But, through reading your threads on this forum I feel like I have experienced some of the drama and excitement that racing the salt creates. I have followed Milwakee Midget's thread for over a year now and read about his climb up the steep learning curve that I now want to start. (MM, congrats on your success by the way.) We have one thing in common already, we are both too tall for our cars of choice. I am 6'6" tall and think I may have to borrow some of your packaging solutions in the design and build of my cage.
I lived in Florida for many years, and while there did some auto-crossing. Which led me to find and buy my favorite water cooled VeeDub, a 1981 Scirocco S.
It was set up very well for cone dodging, and I had a lot of fun in it. I repainted it, put an interior back in it, and turned it into more of a streetable car. Now, I want to remove the interior again, add a cage and racing seat, build a couple engines, buy some skinny wheels and tires, and come out to the salt and run in the Classic category. I received my SCTA rule book last summer, and have been reading, planning, and changing my mind a lot. It is time for me to stop thinking and start doing.
