Cheers Juan. Ratmuller Racing is taking the following cars to the salt this year:

  • 1975 Superbug  (The Mexican Taxi, formerly known as the Town Bike) with 1192cc supercharged motor
  • 1956 Oval with stone stock  36hp motor to satisfy 36hp Worldwide Challenge rules. The record here is a tad over a miserly 75 mph
  • 1969 Ghia convertible with the choice of a 1500cc twin carby setup or 2.7 litre Type 4 moto
  • 1960 Beetle with 36HP Okrasa twin carby motor
  • 1957 Kombi Panel Van(The Roo Shooter) 2.7 litre Type 4 motor
