Some of you who know the "scene" will know how hard is is to get onto the outside stands at the 'best' Dub show in the country.
But to get on a stand on the INSIDE is damn near impossible.
There is a certain look that's needed. Slammed to the floor with HUGE alloy wheels, perfect body work and covered in stickers.
Some say you have to be sponsored to even get a look in. Which I can believe.
Luckily for me, the VW Drag Racing Club use the show for promoting their setup.
Into Dubs? Into Power? Well why not drag race! http://www.vwdrc.com
Wednesday, the club president was let down by an owner who had decided last minute that getting his drag beetle ready for the racing next weekend was a higher priority than being on stand 100 miles away. Understandably so.
So Luke asked me if I would mind stepping up and showing the T17 qualifying Bongo Fury!
I jumped at the chance.....
Spot the odd one out.

Well over 1,200bhp VW power between the 4 motors on the stand.

NOT including the 800-1,100bhp drag racer Luke brought with him.
VW VR6 Turbo, running Ethanol.

The MADDEST thing for me about the drag racer is... my UNCLE built it... I used to be his tow car back in '96-.99.
... I had no clue Luke owned it. Very weird.
