He built a 1641 cc motor with 48 IDs and came in there and ripped it wide open to 7000 RPMs and put out some impressive horsepower numbers 160 hp for a 1641 when I interviewed him he came across as your typical old-school Vw legend.

More Episodes

This weekend coming up is the Vegas world finals drag racing at the Las Vegas motor Speedway. We discuss a little bit of that toward the end of the podcast but we spent some time talking about the new video that Bill and @VegasMicahG. just put out on the crew cab, a.k.a. the carbon cab. Micha does some pretty rad videos and I really like his style so we decided to collaborate on shooting a cool video for the carbon cab. Some rolling shots driving through Vegas as well as the story and the build process of it and what went on I've had to request for some wal spot make sure you watch this video on your Hi-Rez TV. It shot in a cinematic format so it should come across really cool. Also hoping to be able to interview a lot of W. drag racers this weekend at the Las Vegas motor Speedway for the Vegas world finals I know there are people coming from Austria, Hawaii, belgium, England, and much much more looking forward to a good drag race weekend here. Make sure you subscribe to my YouTube channel link below so if I live stream, you'll be there with us.
