The fastest Karmann Ghia at Bug Jam 2008
“With a £150 first price and a fantastic one-off trophy of a replica helmet signwritten and pin-striped by Pro-Sign (thanks a lot, Neil and Mandy).
Six Ghia’s were having ago on Saturday, all in various states of tune and a number with stock engines. I am sorry I didn’t get everyone’s times but I am sure you know what time you did. Once I have a chance I will get all the times from Bug Jam and get them onto the website and then we can start a list of the top 10 fastest cars. All you need to keep the list updated is to send me a copy of your timing slip.
And to all those Ghias that were lurking in the fields with big cc motors or turbo’s hanging out the back – where were you? Why fit a big engine if you won’t have a go!
Thanks to all those that had a go – it was good to see a mixture of stock and modified cars having a go”.
1st Price - Simon Thorne 15.52sec@83mph,
2109cc, 48 Dells, Rancho freeway flyer gearbox. Simon has previously ran 14.9sec, but couldn’t quite make it back into the 14s over the weekend. Well done Simon, and I hope to see you at VW Action to take up the challenge.
2nd Place - Mick Atkinson 17.31sec@75mph,
1776cc with CB blow-through turbo kit. Mick was running in the new turbo kit, previously in Nat Asp form the engine was running 16s. Mick was trying hard all day to get a decent time in but was having a few problems and didn’t managed to do a full power pass.
3rd Place - Clive Richardson 19.09sec@71.23mph, 1776cc. Even our very own club chairman was having a go! Apparently, Clive is now on
