No Fame Motorsports?

If you were wondering what that was all about... It's just a joke really. I am often buying no name replacement parts for the car when needed. Also, I don't have any sponsors, nor do I intend to spend anytime looking*. There will be no fancy decals, press releases or tv time for me, hence "no fame".

*With my job and other commitments, time is the thing I have the least of - if I could get a sponsor to give me time in exchange for decals, I'd be all over it!

some vw dudes liked my car

One day after my first Rally of the Tall Pines in Bancroft I found this video of my car at the event on a retro vw site, vwarmy. Cool, I thought. I think I likely had the accelerator pegged on the straight - which is why a friend and I replaced the tired 1.6 liter 8valve with a less tired 1.8 liter 16valve. After the swap, I found that the go pedal was missing a bushing which attached it to the accelerator cable - just putting that in may have contributed some increased response from the old engine - but oh, well, it was fun - right Gardhouse! Thanks to vwscully and the vwarmy folks for coming out and supporting the dubs.

here's the car at least

a 1981 VW Scirocco. I the third owner of this fine steed. The first turned it into a track car and used it only once or twice. The second, James Stulen, converted it for use in rally and used it in another 10 or so events. I then bought and have worked at refining it but have only managed to compete in 4 events so far (I think - GCFR 06, TP06, PN07, TP07). Looking forward to some action in 08.

No, I did not choose the colour. Always open to suggestions - though the current scheme is memorable...
