It takes hundreds of nuts to hold a car together, but it takes only one of them to scatter it all over the highway. - Evan Esar

Why don't you spill the beans on the secret project you plan to drive?

I haven't told most people about the Rabbit yet.... R32 driveline/6-speed with the 2.0 turbo instead. Dyno'ed at 535AWD HP. Pretty impressive numbers for a pipedream.Larson wrote:Why don't you spill the beans on the secret project you plan to drive?

Re: 2011 Mt. Washington Hillclimb
That was awesome. Good luck to all those who enter. I thought the course record was 6:41?? Travis ran 6:20?? In practice?? I'd say it is pretty much a given that the course record will fall ths year (weather permitting)...

10 years later there is a lot more pavement
He had a navigator
That isn't to say that he CAN'T beat Frank's record, but the playing field needs to be level and other competitors need an opportunity to make an attempt.

Re: 2011 Mt. Washington Hillclimb
I KNEW there had to be more to it. The Navigator made a difference no doubt, Travis even said so. Of course, what the navigator was saying made little sense to me! I thought there was alot of pavement as well ( I have no reference as too more or less though)..Rabbit Farmer wrote:There has been a lot of discussion on this matter....Mr. Bridgestone wrote:That was awesome.

The best part of the video I thought was when he hit the rock near the end and the navigator says "check for punctures"...
