Zack’s 69 herbie bug is out back. It has title issues…and gave its engine to the 66 project. I think it would make a good class 11 car to build.

Especially when you factor in all the charges/fines for jumping it in residential areas…

I’m so keen on this! I’d love to see KCW race! Might be able to get some sponsors to supply parts for it too.

YEAAAAHHHHH!

Looks like the first race in 2018 is on April 4th – San Felipe 250. Easy enough to have a car ready by then.

Looking at a few cars on race-dezert this morning. This one may be a good start. Not much info on it though.

Pat and I have been looking at junk all evening. We got in touch with the red car above. Its not so good.

This car below is in San Diego and looks like the one. The cage is good. Has all of the right stuff, and already been through tech inspection.

Nice! All the hard work is done looks like. Fresh motor and a KCW paint job, good to go!
