That's a great story. I'm reminded of my Mother coming out in the garage and
bringing me coffee one night. I had been rebuilding my 2180 in the Drag Ghia
for the Bug In and had just got the engine in the car. The gates would be open
in less than 8 hours and I still had to load up.
She couldn't understand why I was pushing so much, I'd been up for like 30
hours already just getting ready. At 17 you can't these kinds of things.
She was less appreciative when I fired it up at 2AM to run it in and dial-in
the carbs..
My step dad got me hooked on VWs when I was 15 and she always loved the westies
we had but she just didn't like the Drag Racing. That was until I brought home
a couple of trophies. Then they went up on the Mantle in the living room.
Both of them are gone, for quite awhile now, but every time I get into a bus I
remember them.
