This guy made an in car video of himself racing his Rustang at Irwindale Thursday night. Guess who they made him race?  ?? Frank Estrada!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHHA  Listen carefully and look at him gesturing his displeasure of having to race the bug to the official. The guy THEN posted the vid on Streetfire! LMAO! Frank got WAY loose and just flat out SMOKED the guy! I LOVE this video!!!!! I nominate this for video of the year! Nice run Frank! http://videos.streetfire.net/search/beetle/0/7a11a73e-9f2a-439f-a46f-e7173c0ac1ac.htm |

That was a squirrley run... Had to get off of it in 3rd and then get back in it. Got out of the groove and started to drift towards the wall. That run was two weeks ago. I ran into that guy last night and he mentioned that he had videotaped the run, but neglected to say that he wasn't willing to race me  Well last night was just as much fun, and I had put a 69 NOva tubbed with a big block in the rear view position. The V-8's are definitely starting to take notice of the VW's.... Like Marty said...."OWNED!!!!" Thanks for the post Marty... It was fun watching it..BTW, my ProMOd car has officially left Jimmy's and is now in the hands of Roger at Heads Up. He said that it will only take two days to get ready...Can't wait.. |

Kinda reminds me of NHRA when they have an onboard camera in a funny car, he spins the tires, and all of a sudden the guy in the other lane launches past him like a rocket. That's classic.

MAN! I'm still giggling . Talk about some inspiration!. It's 1:05 am Sunday...and I've been at it for about 13 hrs up till now. I'm going to break my turbo motor in later on today. Stuff like this makes all the pain, cursing, suffering, and patience worth it IMHO. Marty, thanks for diggin that up. I gotta go watch that again... E. |

nice.
I don't think they will let you run your Pro-Mod against the street cars at Irwindale. You might be exhibition only.
Nice run..

No he isn't. He just wanted to run against his buddy behind him. I don't know why you guys are all giddy about this, it's not much of an acomplishment for a turbo'd, wheelie bar'd, slick'd, full drag bug to beat a totally stock production car. |

Hey Bruce, what are you running? Maybe you have something that will give me some competition? Smack talking is easy on the internet, walk the talk. No one here said I whooped a 9 second Stang. It was just comedic that the guy was throwing a slight fit, that's all... If you have something faster than the "production car " bring it. Go have another glass of prune juice....and lighten up(literally)  |

Frank, this is a great clip and it looks really good going down the track. I saw you the whole time! I'm whoopin some asssssprin with my little 1915turbo motor in a full trimmed car. I cant imagine what it will be like when Matt D and i step it up. You guys on the west coast are an inspiration to keep on keepin on! We used to be known for the 1/8 and now we are known for the 1/4! What next man? This is a lot of fun.... Thanks for sharing.

There you go Dan.... Start them off young getting to like the bugs, so that way when they can drive, they won't want a $20k plus rice burner. Glad you and the kids enjoyed it... |

It was good to hear the turbo, then see the bug blow by him. If my kids see this, its hairdryer time for sure.
