One word...Badass!!! Shawn Geers new DRKC car is awesome! Its already run mid 10's at the first outing! It was hard getting pics as there was always a crowd around it!! The engine is very trick and is running a vacuum pump to relieve crankcase pressure by creating a vacuum in the crankcase to help keep the oil off of the cylinder walls and out of the combustion chambers. This decreases the possibility of detonation caused by oil contamination in the combustion chambers. It is also a huge horsepower saver and can save something like 20hp or so!! You'll notice he is also running a crank triggered MSD ignition system which was originaly made for a V8 engine which Shawn has modified to work with a VW engine! Its also running on 62mm Terminator Carbs!!!!!
Owned and run by Adele & Steve Woodbridge, OFF 621 is the race number for our 1959 VW Beetle racecar. Built over a three year period, we debuted the car in March 2009 and we have won awards across Europe for the car and Adele is a 2009 championship winning driver. Follow us on our progress of the 2010 season.
