Randy Larsen Posted December 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 so Oltimer,you like the new name for my race motors that I build?......When the new season begins in 07' I will be making some decals for the cars running engines built by me,and some decals showing that they are members of the Aircooled Secret Society(A.S.S.) .......................you know what really amazes me,is that I thought the vw bugs and ghias were going away,I knew the #78 was always going to be there and that car deserves to be a museum peice somewhere!!!................but to see the aircooleds making a comeback is awesome,I never thought I would see anyone building new vw bugs to race with but that just goes to show you that "What goes around,comes around"......................O.K. let the fun comments begin!........Randy #53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbinsSr Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I guess I'm going to have to work a deal with one of those bug drivers where I can push him across the finish line and get a tire each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiTech Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Hey guys, why change what ain't broke.  i thought they were called "Porch" motors? Porch motors were not going to work out .. I heard the porch had broken wood . Mini 9 EYE was thinking the same on that deal See we think alike .[Not Good ]but as it is the case we need to team up and come up with a salution on how to exterminate the bugs .Those things have figured out how to hybernate long enough for us to almost forget they were even built . and now there BBBBBAAAACCCCKKK . .and randy as for bump draft . you have to be fast enough just to be where we could bump draft .we will not slow down that much in order to do so .ouch.

1-Crew Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Oldtimer, Remember these things are relate to the cockroach. The most durable living thing on the planet. Heat, cold, radiation - heck we even had someone put one in a vacuum chamber and pump all the air out. Let the system back up a few minutes later and out walks the roach!

tps48 Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 We finished the season with 3 complete racecars! No blown motors to fix, no body work to fix. I have so much time on my hands that I started building a new car. Top Secret...can't say much about it yet. No driver yet. I am in Colorado checking out the winter racing league here. It' all down hill racing, no walls, no all involved rule, no tech inspecter, no left side weight rule, no min. or max. weight, no rollbar, no steering wheel, NO BRAKES,...all speed. I am the fastest guy on the mountain (in my age group) Be back next week to work on the new car. Oh, we do have 3 big sponsers, Visa, Mastercard & Amex.

97car Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I think you guys are all wrong,he is pulling your leg on this one.He has a fondness for Fiats,if truth be known one of his engines is not a purebred VW. But if it is his old X1/9 Fiat it will only go 9 or 10 miles at a time. He knows the story.Whatever happened to pipsqueek? I haven't seen him on here in a while.

HiTech Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 (edited) Pipsqueek probably got in trouble and mom put him on timeout .id say alot of other non posting drivers are probably afraid they might slip the secrets they have going on at this time .so they stay off .come on guys i wont tell .

97car Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Only ones I have is welding in more left side and deciding on which heart transplant to use first for the car for next year,was going to do a few big changes,but only going with a few minor ones instead.
