Craig
Good luck and keep posting the dates because I would definitely come along to watch. I can't see myself getting back into racing though, for two reason , I was cr@p and I just couldn't cope with loving the car off the track and then trying to kill the thing on it. I still do the odd track day to have some fun but it just doesn't make you sweat like you do in a proper race it's not the speed so much, I've got a 964 and I'm a lot quicker (hopefully as I would expect) round brands but the sheer wheel to wheel racing made the adrenalin pump, or did for me. I'm sure the guys at the front of the pack were as cool as ice. John must be oh so quick in a 1835, which must be a third more power than the old volkspares engine. Interesting your car had 1.25 rockers, by the letter they were illegal  Richard ex No35

You mean your car was the only one without them?????
 Regs said you must use standard VW items, they had a VW part number! Shaun sold them to most of the grid for use in the series.

Haa haa do you know I probably was, I knew there must be another reason other than me for being soooooo slow.
 I did buy some and also some double springs to stop valve bounce but never fitted them before I stopped racing. Reading this thread made me go and look at my very old web page, www.avnet.co.uk/raw/beetle.cup it's had over 100 thousand hits but is 10 years old. Blimey The details page shows the car as I sold it to the Portuguese chap. I'd love to know if he is still racing it. Funny but I remember it as being very clean and pristine, funny how your stanards change.

You should buy an old Cup car and come out. No regs any more several cars for sale around the £1000 mark, do what you like with the engine. Youd love it, sounds like you kind of miss it

Mmmmm but I'm in the middle of the cabby build although I do have a 2.1 about to go on the dyno at JMR. That would give it more of a power to weight ratio than a varioram 993.
I'd need more life insurance When you say no regs would that include weight. My old car had the bottom 8 inches replaced with lets say thin crappy replacement panels. It made the car come in even with my 12 stone about 50lb under weight compared to the other cars. I had to put lead everywhere, my first outing out I didn't know how under weight I was going to be , so I had to scroung 3 flywheels to bolt to the car.
