Hi Burly, it is with pride that we elevate you to Volks Legend status on Volks Culture. We will always remember what you have done for the Volks community.

The interest is mounting around the proposed 36hp Challenge at next years DLRA Event and there are a number of people here in OZ working to develop and build appropriate vehicles.
I agree with your comments regarding things needing to be done in the "spirit of the challenge" and I am sure this will occur.
Sometimes there needs to be an overarching level of authority or decision making just to be sure that all parties align with the "spirit of the challenge" should the need arise.
If the event was US based then I am sure you (Burly)would be this person but in the outback of South Australia do we need to have a quasi overseer who could touch,feel and oversee any issues, questions, concerns, clarifications that may be required.?
If this was suitable then I would suggest a person like Steve Muller would fit the bill perfectly. Steve is a qualified mechanic with his own registered VW workshop. He brings 35 years personal VW experience hands on experience and a family history with VW going back 55 years. His overall knowledge of VW in Australia is boundless.
Steve has raced, rallied, motosported and pushed VW fast all his life.
There may no situation that creates a need for some level of judgement but if there was then Steve is the right sort of person to be making the call.
Burly,What are your thoughts on this proposal.?

Hey Burly. Steve has not put anything up about vintage speed as yet, but that is about to change. We will have a new section on Volks Culture dedicated to it, that and vintage speed. I have just uploaded a few photos that I took of the motor that will ultimately drive one of the 36hp challenge Bugs. Original Okrasa unit, looks very cool. Cheers!
