Keep on this Rig Jones!!! It might not bring as many smiles per gallon as a Bus but smiles per gallon with family and friends is more important!!!

I am realizing this more and more… it’s more about hanging out with the people and growing our family of awesome dependable solid VW people’s!!!!

Been a wild ride, but it got me here 😎

TOTALLY 👌🏻 While I was in Cali so many of our racing friends reached out to me to see if I had time to meet up and see where they make thier racing magic happen 👏🏻pretty cool to have made so many more awesome friends in only a few races! hopefully more racing in 2022!!!

I saw the Mint 400 was split into Pro and Vintage classes!! Kinda cool… so Tim Sletten and his team got first in Pro class, and then Scott Small who is from Cortez here in Colorado won first for vintage class!! Super cool!!
Ryan got 5th.. Blake got 3rd after a penalty for taking a by-pass too early and loosing a front shock…

They raced for 10 hours straight… some, like Blake, driving the whole time… fuuuck desert racing is a whole other beast 😅

The Volkswagen community really stretches far and wide, and it’s like instant friends anytime you come across someone with the same passion!

I heard ol Davco and Jeremy Won the “Rage at the River”…   Davco is fast!!!!!  😎  There have been a ton of races lately!!!   I wanna get back in on some of that action… 😎

They make me want to get my shit box back together again!!  So now that my rail is dialed for a trip, I am pretty sure my bus is dialed also, it must be time to play with the class 11….. 😎

I think King of the Hammers is supposed to be fun…. Lets try and get our stuff together for that!!!  😎  I bet that is an experience being out at Hammer Town!!!!!!   and I think it was at night last year… so I need me some good lights!!!  😎  I am thinking Fender lights are a waste of time.. 😎

Been a wild ride, but it got me here 😎

What about little LED pods in there instead?

[Audrey Jones]

#61414

I think we need little pods and a light bar… the more light the better when most of the other guys have crazy bright lights blinding us 😅

probably also need to start thinking about better helmets…

We do need to buy new helmets and a pumper system…  Going with Rugged on this… I reckon we better get this ordered up soon!   I’m gonna try the first trans I had in the car again.. I think it’s still good..  We have everything for the engine…  I want to buy new tires… but… I want helmets more… so next race I am running them 6 ply A/T hankooks I have in the rear and the grabbers in the front..  I want to put some studs in my drums and go back to full size drums and undrilled backing plates… and wider brakes if I can make that happen too… 😎

I look forward to the next time I get to race…  I hear KOH’s is an experience, like Crandon.. So I think I am going to shoot for that.. 😎

Upgrade the rear shocks to over the tubes to prevent bending the axle tubes and/ore breaking the cast lower mount.

I think the offset upper eyelet mount on these shocks would be able to attach to the C-pillar tubes of the cage close to the stock mounts.

Those look awesome. It can’t add travel to what I have.. but damn that shock shaft LOOKS long… 😎 😎 😎  I agree I should.  But I am not going too…  I want Helmets and a pumper more… and only 7 weeks till the races start again!!!!

Redoing this mid mount.. Can’t believe we missed this last year… No wonder my header was all over my apron, no wonder I had to cut out the rear engine seal channel stuff.. no wonder a few things now… darn it…  Live and learn right!!!  😎  any split case type one should have it’s tunnel case trans mocked up with a type 2 nose cone!!!

SNORE released it’s races..

There was a meeting of the minds in the crows nest this morning… looks like we have some work to do 😎

I am currently getting us set up with new pumper helmets from rugged and getting a racer sponsorship account set up 👏🏻👏🏻 I’m thinking we need our own frequency too..😏
