Now with a fiberglass front end, 6" slicks and a little more risky on
the RPMs (7,000 with stock crank) the car was able to run a best 14.02
at 92.9 mph in Sacramento placed 3rd.The best i was able to get at
Carlsbad was a 14.12 at 91.00 mph. In vegas i brokeout and ran a
15.13 on a 15.18.with no plans on going to the last VW race of the
season in Arizona.I started thinking about LOW BUGGET and what
to do with it.I had big plans for my car but on a shoe-string bugget.
But i had some extra time over the holidays and if a man has
extra time watch out!

With big dreams and limited
funds the best thing
i could do was paint the car.
Now with fiberglass rear
fenders and apron
(Pomona swap meet)
plus some cutting of the
rear so the motor can be
removed whole
(those big Kadrons).
LOW BUGGET was
starting to take shape.

Got a flyer from Jon at Top Line that DKP was going to hold a
drag day at Carlsbad on May 8th.The best part was that
Der Transaxle was puting up $100 to the fastest Kadron
powered car.So i threw the old windows in and put on some
stickers that i had laying around and i was on my way.
The first pass was 13.92 at 92.00mph.
At the request of my girlfriend, i had to see what the car had in it
This is how the last pas with the 1641 whent.

At 7,200rpm's I side steped the clutch,slid my right foot off the brake
and crushed the roller pedal as hard as I could
( yes I dont use the e-brake it broke some years ago
I just put have my foot on the brake and have on the gas).
I hit each gear just as hard shifting at 7,400rpm's.
All with a stock 4.12 gear box and not using 4th I ran a best
of 13.79 at 93.00 mph with out blowing something.

Made me $100 that day.
