    Another Class 11 joining the fray

    Is VORRA big enough for two white Class 11s? Only time will tell.

    Spent an hour on the phone last night with Paul of CBCFS Racing out of San Francisco. A great guy. He and his buddy are about 95% complete on a Class 11 build that they expect to campaign in the VORRA series and take to the Baja 1000.

    We’ll head up to SF later this month to check out their build and have invited them to come down to Felton to check out 1107. We’ll probably also do some practice together over at Prairie City in advance of the first VORRA race of the season. A good time will be had by all.

    In other news, Romy jumped on a Craigslist ad for a free hood, free front beams, free doors for our year VW. It’s like Christmas in February.

    A lot of people have asked me “How did Stock VWs get designated as Class 11?” and I told both of them, “Here’s why:”

    I’m pretty sure these are for dogs.

    It was my 50th birthday yesterday and now that I qualify for the Denny’s discount I plan to eat my weight in Grand Slam breakfasts. Our good friends with Two Larrys Racing sent me these, but I’m pretty sure they’re for dogs.

  • Project Baja in our shop, stealin’ our sekrets

    Josh flew all the way out from Colorado to check out 1107. (And attend a wedding).

    Project Baja is in the early stages of building a Class 11 for the 2012 Baja 1000, which is when I expect us to make our return to the race. I kvetch about how far we have to drive to races, but these guys are in Colorado.

    Josh is a pro photographer, so I’m not even going post my photos. Here are his shots from visiting our swank race shop.

    The organizers put is front and center among a lot of way more powerful race vehicles.

    Crusty and I hauled 1107 to the Saddle Rack in Fremont last week to have on display at the local premier of Dezert People 9 at the Saddle Rack. Skid and Shawn joined us after all the heavy lifting was done. The movie’s a lot of fun and Class 11s are well represented. Some photos from the Dezert People 9 premier are here. And here’s the trailer.
