My slow speed but fast for me video
« on: August 11, 2009, 10:51:12 AM »
My run may not have been enough to get me into the 200 club, but it was a shock to me that the WABBIT would run this fast. :-o :-o :-o

I would have had this on earlier but I though that I had a computer problem, which eneded up being just a settings change...OH WELL :roll:

Yes it was very wide, but you can only use so much space with a VW, so the width to me was no big deal and smooth it was but that just took some of the excitement out of it that Maxton gives you, but I ain't running all that fast to see the BIG difference in that :-D

The expenses for the trip up and back in the bus pulling the trailer, took a big chunk out of the years designated racing funds, so I won't be at Maxton until October, plus for September I have already sent in my registration $$$$ to co-drive my buddies street legal/modified during the 2009 Darlington Historic Racing Festival on September  25, 26, 27, that's it on the left in this picture from last years event. He has gotten it sorted out now, so it should have its full horsepower and be a little faster than last year......................WHOOOO...............HOOOOO :-P 8-)

It's awesome to see that you made it up to the race, and even betteryou set a record.
The car sounded real good. I wish I could have made it up to this race so bad, oh well I'll just go cry in the corner til next year.
