Was ready to make the tow from MO to be there, but my new stickies were lost in transit and didn't arrive until the following Wednesday. So now I've got new tires and no place to go. Car is sitting on jacks in the garage waiting... WAH!! Glad the event went great. Maybe next time!!!!
Matt Jackson - great video. From the father of young VW boys, thanks for working around the language. Can appreciate people’s excitement but also like that the video was still kid friendly. 👊🏻
Great footage. You got any more? With all the people stuck indoors you have a captive market lol. It really warmed my heart to see to resurgence of VW's there👍
Thanks Carol we actually have a couple of videos already in the editing room. If we aren't able to get out in the world anymore we will might look into reusing old footage
Very cool. Glad to see all those guys having fun on the track..clint with the early square window semaphore car too. Hopefully, we get some racing in California, for now, we can only watch neat videos like this,..thanks for posting.
As a Big lover am so amazed to hear of this meet up...am sure theres loads around the world like this....and thanks to RUclips I get to enjoy.....awesome vid and what a fantastic collection of VWs 😍😍🤘
Great Event, would have been so cool to be able to go. Glad you got to go and take us along. Thanks for sharing and keep VeeDub’n for all of us. BigW:-) 👍
Hey Bill thanks for the suggestion! How this case we were using a GoPro nose just too hard to focus all the way down track. We have some plans in mind for the next one of these we cover thanks for watching!
Here are some more VW Face Book groups for you to check out -- Real Street -- Turbo VW Bug -- Flat 4 Racers -- Fast4Cartel -- Foul Air Klub -- Air Cooled VW Bench Racing -- VW Outlaw Turbo -- ProTurbo VW's -- Germanaire Drag Day -- VW Drag Night
I do miss my bugs, had a 71 and 75 (yes a 75 bug, I was in Berlin at the time) The 71 went away after fire #2 and the 75 was totaled when I let a platoon mate borrow it.
Hello Charles! It's amazing to see those Wheels coming up isn't it? The orange Menace is pretty much done we're about to put a brand new gas tank in it. You should see it again and two episodes but they're hoping to shoot its own episode when we have it all done
Wow, Back in the late seventies if me and my sister was to Drive past this raceway in the back of mom's car and look over and see all these VW bugs, We both would have bruises all over our arms and legs from playing punch buggy! Lol
@@VWLifeVW it really would be!! And has anyone rb or 2j swapped it? I feel like the engine would be in cabin in the back but would be do able with some finess. And thanks for the upload going crazy with the stay at home b.s
@@ex35240sx yes that is the case it ends up in the cabin, keep in mind we are more geared to keeping a aircooled power plant, we leave those builds to others. the mighty car mods guys put a subi motor in a beetle
Great video! Any chance of any video of the Beetle named Hyper Bug? I see it in grid around the 1:00 mark and in the background of some interviews. A buddy of mine owned that car for several years and raced it with SEVWA in NC. Good to see it still going.
VW Life you’re welcome! It’s all good! I understand fully. Great video though! I miss the days of VW drag racing. I used to video and help in the pits with Hyper Bug. May pick up racing in my VW soon.
VW Life fortunately we still have SEVWA that still has a season with races in VA, NC, SC, and GA. Back in 2010-11 their last events were some of the biggest on the East Coast. I haven’t been to one in the past 9 years so I’m not sure of the size of the events but they are still happening.
You gotta love Texas! The cars on the interstate in the background are going faster than the cars on the track.
#truth lol some of them were faster though
Stuck inside, no work. Great day for a VW Life video!
Enjoy! you got that right
What fun that must have been. People getting a race together that had not been done in quite sometime.
Way to go. Nice
yes sir it was quite a day!
Thanks for brightening up these gloomy days!! Pretty good turnout for a 1st annual!
we can get through this together!
Was ready to make the tow from MO to be there, but my new stickies were lost in transit and didn't arrive until the following Wednesday. So now I've got new tires and no place to go. Car is sitting on jacks in the garage waiting... WAH!!
Glad the event went great. Maybe next time!!!!
Oh man that's a total bummer!
Yesss new subscriber here love Volkswagen for life 👍🏾
Awesome JJ welcome!
I remember going to the Texas Motorplex bug rally years ago. Did not know that this was going on. Hope to be there next time. Congratulations.
check out there facebook group to stay in the know, thanks for watching!
I'll take the split rear window bug with the green door and the white and rusty patina single cab pickup. I'm sure that I can find room for them.
Haha very interesting you picked a couple of our favorites too!
I'm glad to see another Volkswagen event take off. This is cool
Yes sir this was a good one to see pop-up after all these years
This brought back great memories. I used to run my 1970 beetle back in the day.
Very nice indeed!
I'd love to build a badass vw with my dad. He's had hundreds of em'... They call him the VW MASTER💪 He's my hero
Dude do it!

You would have loved running jawbreaker down the track!
VW Life would be nice to run the 1/8th instead of the 1/4.
That was 1/8th mile racing
Tommie Smith yes sir, I was just stating it would be nice to run the 1/8th, I ran the 1/4 last month because that’s what’s near my house.
That was a great turn-out for this first race meat at that event, it was a lot of fun to watch.
Hey Dennis yes it can only grow from here assuming we can all get passed this gruesome. In time
Thank you very very awesome show. 👍😊
Cool
That was fantastic. Thank you in this horrible time of spreading some joy.

thanks for Sharing Tony!
Go and do Street Outlaws aircooled VW only show ;) oldschool to the bone !
That would be pretty cool!
I would come from Indiana count me in
Yes do it!
I bet a k swap would fit pretty neat in the back of one of those beetles!
That would be crazy power

Is that he dragstrip where the freedom factory is near by or am i wrong
Unfortunately no! Cletus is in Florida and this one is in Texas
cool video love it!
Thanks Bill!
Interesting
Thanks!
Were are the quarter toy pro stock cars, Damon Harmon is from texas right
Not sure
To bad the dung beetle wasn't there
Dude that's a great idea! We need to talk with the organizers and see if we can make that happen next time
Great video! Any chance of any video of the Beetle named Hyper Bug? I see it in grid around the 1:00 mark and in the background of some interviews. A buddy of mine owned that car for several years and raced it with SEVWA in NC. Good to see it still going.
Hey thanks! Know that was pretty much all the footage we had. Hard to get all the cars in on one video
VW Life you’re welcome! It’s all good! I understand fully. Great video though! I miss the days of VW drag racing. I used to video and help in the pits with Hyper Bug. May pick up racing in my VW soon.
@@DerkJester cool, you should try to get a revival racing going in NC!

Well that's good
Looks like fun,too bad I'm in Florida. What was it 1/8th or 1/4 mi? what was the fastest time and the slowest time if you know?
It was 1/8 mile maybe we can get Clint Cox to comment and give us some details on the times
How do you get on the mailing list for these events?
joing the FB Group facebook.com/groups/574390236340117/
These were real beetles with rear engines not these newer dummies with front engine, i still dream of owning a beetle oneday
You need to get one!
@@VWLifeVW here in Botswana they are very rare now, those who have them cant even dream of loosing them😓😓😓
how many bolts are holding the engine in beetle
4 or 3 depending
4
