When was a teenager in the 70’s there was a chop top beetle called Pied Piper. 8.6 seconds 3 gears in the Air on a 4 speed. He took King of the Hill against a 1963 Split window 427 Corvette. Of course he had a couple lights ahead but he won.
Well in oregons defense I am a 70+ year old native Oregon drag racer and live less than 50 miles away from this drag strip and did not know that it was happening there was no advertising or promotion, it would have been better attended if they had announced it on local media and put up flyers at auto parts stores
This has been an annual event I've been attending for a decade... and it was packed. If you check my last video, the 'part 1', was 2 days worth of filming. This was maybe 20% of the whole show.
that's Kyle Hutchins. He's running at Woodburn again this weekend at Import Face Off. You can reach him on Facebook he's posting in The Volks Group facebook group every day
I get it. Unfortunately there was a whole rest of a show (plus managing my own swap meet space) going on so I got, maybe, a third of the racing and not from an angle i was happy with. My next drag race video will be better because it'll -just- be a racing event.
As a 69yr old gearhead, watching a bunch of VWs burn rubber still gives me that same feeling! The Strictly Speed car looked amazing! Thanks very much!

That dragstrip used to be a airport.
We need ET's and mph on every single pass. Thats what drag racing is
I get it.

Doesn't look like there is a lot of VW Beetle fans in Oregon.
Check out my -last- video and tell me if you think that still ;)
More cars broke than made passes - not a good sign.
