There are a couple of fast VW's down In Pa. www.pahillclimb.net Their forum is slow this time of year like ours-sign up + ask on there. Probably more sane info than from us front engine people. But first things first-you got to get it on some scales. Hard to know where you're going if you don't know...

Thanks again for all your hard work Walter. I think that the inner core not moving around might help with some of our problems. The wire would tend to act loose as it was shucking + jiving around the moving core. As you can see, its a good thing I don't build race cars out of wood.

Its all Dzus tabs. 40-50 total in the car-about 1/2 for the body. Maybe a minute + half? Depend how many I drop and how far they roll under the car.

Its that time again folks. We need to vote for all the worthy amongst us that deserve awards this year-to be handed out at the KSCC year end party at Mr. Darcy's in Ludlow,Vt. Dec. 5th. Please send your nominations to either Michele via Facebook-or to me at sdwarf36@aol.com Rookie of the Year Myster...
