I know of a half dozen of the racers from the NCVWDRA that will be there and we want to take home all the money like we did in Pittsburgh last year...

Looking forward to seeing top quality cars in competition at the Bug Run. Like flat top said, this really is a great facility.

Rumor has it that Gene Collier is going to be out making some shake down passes, if he gets the car all put together in time!  |

The GoodVolks club is working on putting together a reaction time competition for the Bug Runs.
Each year our club has a Good Volks drag day event. We participate in a test and tune at US131 and compete for best reaction time.
We thought we would carry this to the Bug Runs and sponsor a reaction time competition.
Details are still in the works. More to come!

Reaction time competition will be open to all passes of racers and those participating in the fun runs. The GoodVolks aircooled VW club will offer $100 (minimum) to the driver with the best reaction time of the day. This is open to all VW aircooled powered vehicles.
