G'day VW Challengers
The 2012 World of Speed was a rousing success, despite occasional rain showers and downtime on the course. Ten new VW records were set or established by 37 driver/engine/class combinations. Below are the top speeds achieved by each of the drivers.
And heres your heads up, next years World of Speed will be held between September 7th and 10th, 2013, so you can start planning your vacation time now.
Thanx to all the racers, support crews and VW spectators that journeyed to Bonneville. It was a great time.
See you on the salt in 2013.
