Ahh.. but it was great to finally see all the "gadgets" on his car.

Ohh.. garshkk.. thanks Toby. I did think about showing but because I have
not done much of the work "myself" yet, I felt like I would have been
cheating. Next year though...

Standing still maybe. Say, anyone ever thrown a blown 440 Magnum into a
Square? ;) I'll give him a run for his money on the drags next year!

I caught a few heats. It was actually my first time seeing VW's drag
before. What a trip! Seeing Gene Berg popping wheelies was fantastic. Next
year we'll have to get all the NW listers there and have a Type III Mail
List entry in the push drag contest.
As we were walking around admiring others rides, Toby pointed out to me a
'69(?) SqrBk with reverse engine cooling vents. I had never heard of this
VW "booboo" before, does anyone know the complete story (and who got fired
because of it)?
On a negative side note...
My Square started leaking oil something fierce on the way home and my
clutch began chattering *very* badly when letting it out into first only.
Does this sound like a bad main seal which is leaking into my clutch?
