I wish it was closer craigslist finds

Little memory light just went on here. We used to see a guy at Orange County Raceway frequently. White '67 Bug, nothing real special lookin' from a distance, except he sat where the back seat used to be. In front of him was a 427 Chebbie :eek: Little Bugger would run 9.50s all night long :steering::lol:
Back in the late 70's, they used to have The Bug Bash at Greer Dragway in SC twice a year. First time I saw them, I just stood there with my mouth hung open because I had no idea a VW could be so fast. Most were Beetles with 4 cyl air cooled VW engines. The track limited them to the 1/8 mile because they were too fast for the amount of shutdown area at the end! Most were running low to mid 4's......in 1976 - 1977!!!! :eek: :realcrazy:
