NTX5467 Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Now, I know how Willie's "flying" home and was posting things in here before those of us that DID fly home--LOL. Especially since we saw them driving out after the presentations Saturday night!Just for curiousity, what times did The Bug turn and did it run straight down the track (as it was mentioned that they didn't know if it would go straight as it was so used to racing on a circular track)? What about the Blackhawk??Thanks to ALL who posted pictures of the meet in here!!Might there also be a tape that could be made from the presentation Saturday night and sold/distributed so that others can share the excitement of the meet too? What about copies of the tape/dvd that was being shown in the Buick tent Saturday night?Enjoy!NTX5467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Guy Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 It was decided not to race the two cars together , as they both have VERY distinctive sounds, and it would be a shame not to hear them!! The Bug ran 66 MPH ,but with a running start because it was leaking oil quite badly and we did not want to ruin the starting line. I drove the Bug in 1971 and 1973, and was hoping to be able to drive it one last time. Jim Johnson ( the man in charge of the Sloan car collection) went to a lot of trouble to make my dream come true. I was able to make two passes down the strip and I still can't seem to get the smile off my face. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
