REDneckracing Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Were a new team (REDneck racing) hoping to be ready for next season. Were 4 drivers strong and excited to be apart of Champcar next year. We are going to be racing a 1998 VW VentoGt (German Jetta) we got for $600. Hope to see you guys/girls out at the track next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommytipover Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 @Old Guy Steve is running a Jetta ABA turbo here out of Ohio. I'm sure he would offer any wisdom gained, and of course @flyinglizard is the man for VW race cars. If you don't have his book, get it now!

Old Guy Steve Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 We added the turbo last winter. Now class "C" from "B". Yes VW's struggle to keep up, and we may never win, but damn, its fun to race. And we are crazy enough to keep trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To even begin to qualify your car you need to do your research to prove it is equivalent to a US/Canada car in every way then ask tech if they agree.
