If you check the back of the book for class champions, you might find that Bill Goodell had 3 B Modified National Championships in the late '70 s with his Deserter dune buggy :--). Those were the "good ol' days"; no wings, data systems or other electronic stuff :lol: More cool info...than...

Back in the 60's, Carroll Shelby had a factory Cobra autocross/gymkhana team. Bruce Meyers, creator of the Meyers Manx dune buggy, started his own team. Much to Mr. Shelby's great chagrin, the Manx' usually beat the Cobras. The cutting brakes on the buggies were a huge advantage on tight courses. I...

Nice car and nice job going thru the cones. Never thought a buggy could handle so well. Looks like a whole lotta fun! Put a video up when you get the vee going. We'd like to see it. Thanks.... and the handling really surprised me too...it is built on an engineered chassis (not a Beetle pan) and I r...

...is waiting for its engine transplant so this week at our season opener I decided to autocross my Dune Buggy (with its new uprated 1915 engine dynoed at 120 hp...and a total weight of 1050 pounds)...great fun Here is a link to a video someone took of me having fun, and allowed me to upload on my Y...

I have a 74 thing that will lift the front wheels(with vee slicks on back) running a 1835 with dual webber 34's dyno showed 149hp. surprised me and the guy running the dyno. THOR full cage, race seat, 5 point belts Dynoed the buggy today. No such surprise here...rather tame results.....but i am hap...

Did a little cleaning today and the carbs are 44 IDFs , so that pretty well convinces me that the engine is 1800 or larger.

Scott, It came with no records. The lady engineer that owned it said it was a "pro built 1800 or 1915" (she thought?) and it is extremely well built. It is not built on a Beetle chassis, but rather on a beautifully crafted custom chassis "to withstand the power of the engine"...I...

Bought a new aircooled toy today....kinda retro kewl for an old guy like me... a great companion for my Huron and my Bugatti kit car....I feel the urge to pull a wheelie! http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e271/mityrare/MITYKEWL004.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e271/mityrare/MITYKEWL013.jpg C...

Paul, You might want to check Drews Off-road. They do all my engine work and have a great reputation... http://www.go-drews.com They are here in Hamilton, Ohio. I do not know where you are but I thought I would give you the info. Johnny B. I'm north of Toronto, Ontario, but I will definately check ...

Can't wait to see the final results Paul. Cool Dyno video 8) Glad to hear your plan to keep the original body/shape. It's too nice to change! PS Here's the plate idea we heisted from your Huron for the Stalker that I told you about. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v640/snookwheel/Mtyfun-1.jpg Sco...

Here is an update. I had the existing single port dynoed and she made all of 36 hp at the wheel....this completely confirmed my thoughts and I decided to rethink minor upgrades in favour of drastic measures. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdzcAKBw1n4 So I did nothing this season while I researched t...

Congrats. Paul. But, clearly the competition was rigged! The Huron should have been 1st! Scott Ya... whats with that judging Scott! Actually I am considering buying the winning Beetle as it was for sale...a real beauty, but i would chip the paint and wear it out driving the way I do. I am not norma...

My FV was invited to attend a VW show here this past sunday and got some attention with 2nd prize in the air cooled category (Vagkraft show just outside Toronto). I have attached a pic of a decal i created to fill up the number blank on the side of my car....it was a hit with the young crowd. The pr...

Youre killin me here just looking at that thing....and drooling.

Enjoy!


Paul

I expect the reason the Calgary Stalker is for sale is that he cannot get it registered legally nor insured here....would be alright as a strictly race car. I have a need to have my cars fully insured and i like that every strange car i have had has been street legal as i never get enough time on th...

Scott, You are one lucky guy..I have been a fan of the Stalker for some time but they are not eligible for importation into Canada. Enjoy and be safe....those things are considerably overpowered...just what I am planning for my Huron. haha

Nice collection! Thanks for sharing. BTW, seven cars and wife that is willing to park outside the garage in the winter??? Clearly, your wife is a Saint 8) She really is... woke up this am to more snow and i have attached a pic of her little Saturn sitting outside. I keep three cars in the attached ...

What toys make up the 7 count? 2 MG Midgets (one is modified for autocross) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjsFzBUIUvU 1 VW kit car (Bugatti Type 35...actually one of the better kits) Great fun on gravel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98xpJBs7fgc 1 Huron FV http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAzBqV4XV...

Sorry for the entertainment guys. I was in the midst of purchasing another toy car (currently have 7 toys) and wife wanted one gone before another arrived ( she has not parked her car in the garage for 6 years now)...so i advertised for sale at a rediculous price (so it would not sell)....in the mea...

Don't you love the wheel hop when that happens...great pic!

Okay.. I notice that you have a ball joint front beam right? Your wheels are 15" 4-bolt? Are you running disc brakes? BTW, an additional low cost added to the heads and carb would be some improved ratio rocker arms. Ask your Vee shop about them.. I like the car! You have to be aware that if yo...

I really like that Vee. Have you ever seen another like it? Scott Yes, in the 1960s at Mosport International Speedway here in Ontario Canada. My uncle marshalled there and took me along to watch. I have canvassed the internet, driver associations, vintage associations and the Canadian Motorsport Ha...

it looks like your head is even with or even taller then the roll bar.

thats something you need to change, even for, make that especially for street driving.

Yes, I am aware of that...i planned on changing it this winter... I guess I better get on that soon.
