She's all set to race on the 1 mile short course, the USFRA's
130mph club, just as she sits! 130mph club runs are on the 1 mile short course, so you need acceleration and relatively short gears.
It's a fun event, I'm meeting a bunch of my VW friends out there again this year.
I drove a friend's Karmann Ghia last September, to 138+ to get my name in the books as a new member of the 130mph Club, along with my picture in hotVW's Magazine. It was still accelerating at the 1 mile marker.
