Class 5 only

[JRV 511]

Jim, nice to have you out and about in 5 again.... I've not had the chance to race against you yet, but do look forward to it at the chili cook off... don't I hope to pass you with my 1600cc and end this. Would you of said a word if I had bought your car???? I don't think so, but... since your hear.... I am so happy to hear your opinions. They are real and good.

Wendell and Ramsey! You guys rock! nothing new, we all know it.

Wheezy, I was running the race when you were injured. My heartfelt sentiment to you. I am so happy that you want to be out on the course again....

What fun it is, what fun there will be with us all getting out on the courses and series whichever they be, having fun. Sr. Steve..... He is doing fun... get it, doing his part to race against himself and anyone who wants to pay to play, but he is getting help with his funds. Don't knock him. That is a dream come true, and his smiles proove it. Steve is living the racing life!



I'm not big on free time or.......... I would try to organize..... truthfully, organization will come with friendships and communication. Getting all concerned and every chance will reflect your truths. My cheers to those here who haven't said a word online but are reading.... They want more out there, but darn it..... let the rule live as they live now until a truthful majority agree on something in the grass roots which created the class to begin with.....

It is my joy as an owner/driver of a couple 5 cars to say this...... I look forward to getting to know my competition, as people, as friends as a group that cares about each other.

There aren't many that can group like the VW's can.... the beamer cars, the 1600's, the 5/16's and 5 opens.... wow the 5 opens.... Yah, woo hoo, the 5 opens..... I hear it when I photo races..... I think, wow, those are awesome!!!!!! Live on...... When I race... I wish I could hear through my earbuds and helmut.... knowing that I am making that noise, hanging on, shutting up and racing against my own ability.... same in the dosil 5/16, but at 50+ I still hang on, shut up, smack the co-dog and keep going... I think we all do that.


Back a page or two.... Those who have the opportunity to be in a car, to help are blessed with great friends. A group of VW people.

NOT ECO, NOT SUBARU.... there will always be options...... Take them, go 3000, go 10 or 12,,, just go...... then when you want,...... come back to 11, 5/16 or 5u whichever suits your budget, or to be with your friends in those classes.

Growth will come and shortages will happen... The classes have watered themselves down... Innovation with new arms is on, legal or not, innovation and growth is good "within the class". Keeping my opinion out for now. That's racing, that's development.

I saw the 5/16 coalition come and go, the 5 coalition come and go.... There are other options that some other group starting their click. Get off it please.... or go.... have fun, I wish the best. I don't know a better place than RDC to communicate with all... and all for all race reasons, and for free. Embrace this. Embrace what the class has been and is.

Blah blah, I hope, really hope as my desert friends remind me that it won't. That the fun of baja south races will work themselves north, with friends making the fun happen, not just the promoters....

Tom, Your a fellow racer , scuba diver and a good dude . We just wont ever agree on the engine deal , thats not terrible , and I think there are 18 or so class 5 RACECAR owners that, in one way or another, think an engine option could help change things .

Another note I don't believe JFK ever had any intension of letting you buy anybody's car but his , shoot I knew that 30 seconds after you got there . doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what his plans were .

I look forward to seeing you out there !!!!
