Title: Old Picture recovered
Post by: lovebus (jack) on March 25, 2011, 09:31:26 am
Found this old picture of the Zonker for the year I won I-Gas at the NHRA Summer Nationals (1972) at Englishtown.
Was looking at the thread (http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=455550&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0) for the upcoming Englishtown Show and Go and there it was. **^bana0  I had this photo but lost it a real oldie but goodie you wont see anymore.

How much did the car weigh race ready?

Post by: lovebus (jack) on March 25, 2011, 04:26:28 pm
Bob I'm guessing 1100lbs.

I would have to try and find the class specks for a I-Gaser in the late 60s to know for sure.

 I'd like to do a new poster "Meeting tonight" with our members cars. I think the picture of the "Screaming  Zonker " should be in the middle.
