       Piedmont Dragway was the place to be on August 19^th for VW Enthusiasts. The day was a hot one, but the temperatures were down from the 100 degree heat we all were having recently. The grounds were packed with VWs, Swap meet area and some 50 race cars from all over the east coast.

    The car show area had some 70 cars, but there were plenty more around the show area that just came out to enjoy the show with their friends and family. Fellow Racer Johnie Walker brought out both his race car of the bracket races and his recently completed 60 Ragtop Beetle. He took the Best of Show and Best Interior win with this handsome car. It was certainly a tough call for the judges with Beetles such as Richard Cash’s 69, Randy Waller’s 61 and Mark Alley’s 60 Ragtop in the line up.  For the full list of winners & photos CLICK HERE.

     In the Bracket finals for the Big Bug Shootout, Jim Skelton had a holeshot win over Johnie Walker with a .054 RT. Jim still remains the leader in points with a 30 point lead over Jerry Knight with the Sour Pickle. Johnie & Rick Laws are tied for 3^rd place. Pro finals took Mel Shealy to his 4^th win of the year against Wes Jordan. Wes hasn’t been out all year to play and first time off the trailer since Oct 06 Farmington , took him all the way to the finals. Mel still remains point’s leader for the Pro Class with Gary Zipperian & Blake May 40 points behind in a tie for 2^nd. Super Pro finals took Altamonte Springs , Florida ’s Noel Latour to the winners circle over Roanoke , Virginia ’s Ken Overstreet.

No matter which way you look at it, the point’s race for the next 4 races will remain a tight one. There is no telling who will take the Championship in November for the 2007 year.
