Beetle oval racing in the 80's and 90's

Here's some pictures right out of the archive of my dad's dirt oval VW bug with type 4 power.
These photos were taken from around 1983 - 1989

This was my dad's first attempt to build a race car. So very basic stuff, but some good ideas as well. The engine was a type 4 2400cc with type 4 cooling and twin 40mm DCOE carbs

The next bug was built in the early 90's and was also type 4 powered... but this time with a upright fan housing, 48ida carbs, methanol, dry sump and 2800cc (until the full circle crank broke, then 2733cc)
