Up here at Grand Bend Motorplex in August is the Northern VW Nationals.
There are a couple IHRA and NHRA National record holders that usually make the trek, and their VW based engines make some incredible power.
They run the 1/8 mile, but their time re-factors to something like high 8s in the 1/4.
You wanna see something funny, watch a fast steel bodied Beetle!:bwuhaha:
The bouncin' and wheelstanding are something else!
'Course my own Bug needs a floorjack to pick the wheels.
