Hi Buck,
I can't help you - - - I haven't done anything more than drive a 1.8 Rabbit in an enduro at Daytona, and that was probably 12 years ago.
The kid that owned the car is a major VW Whiz and I'll try to raise him on the phone later tonight. Saving your question for later . Look for a second answer.

| Comment | I am so glad there is a place that people like me can go outside of the race track that I work at. This is my first year of being the head scorekeeper so I am still learning. Thank you and keep up the great work. Judy Sweet | ||

During my first start in the 60's I won many solo awards and the State Championship Drags. I serve as a senior instructor for SCCA, and have taught in Mercedes AMG events at Daytona, and Dodge Viper Days at Sebring International. I have been in the thick of the competition for all of my career. At one time or another I have driven race cars at speeds nearing 195 MPH. It's quite a ride !
