There is nothing better than vanagon owners talking speed related smack. Did
I wake up in some parallel universe?

Hoo boy that was one good post Dave. If I weren't in Texas I would have to
bring on the pain in my 84 with it's stock 1.9. Ok I would probably have to
downshift to third just to make it up the banked turns. Back to reality. I
have a whole weekend set aside to work on my van and I can't wait.

Happy Friday volks.

Subject: Westies at Watkins

Hi All;
So who's going up to the tip of the Finger Lakes in New York to run their
busses around the track?
I'm looking forward to taking my Tiico powered High Speed European Racing
Bus out on a real Nascar track.  And the campground at Watkins Glen is one
of my family's favorite.  We'll be in the Mohawk Village.
I'm taking off on Friday ASAP ( kid's school, etc.) heading West out I-90
from the Boston area. Describe your vehicle and I'll look for it.  I'll be
in a standard ( looking ) 1983  Ivory ( yellow ) Westy with a small wooden
ID under my left taillight.  Which is all you'll see at the racetrack.
Now all I have to do is figure out where to put all my camping equipment,
about 1/2 a ton the way we camp, while I run 'er around the trac.-- and how
to talk the wife and kids into riding with me!
