I built my first class 11 in my garage in 1995 for score rules. We only ran the Laughlin desert challenge each year and then ran 5 seasons on MDR up north. Most sanctions would not allow what you’ve built. Ours had to look completely stock. We didn’t pass tech once because we had our air filter too far outside the rear window. We were MDR class champions in 2000! When I retire, I’m applying for a job with you. I live right down the street from your shop!
Nice insider look. Thanks for sharing. Hope the boys in Oklahoma see this. Was able to co pilot in a Class 11, the first lap of a four lap race, with my Ensenada based brother in law. Team took 2nd in class. I don’t know the particulars but I believe he had bent the rules somehow gaining 3” length-wise? You could sit a glass of water on his balanced/blueprinted 1600 and not get a ripple. It was one of my life’s best times. Shred on!
ive always wanted to baja a veloster or juke, some other hatch kinda body style, if it were a veloster i wanted to throw the engine in the back. feel like that would be a cool build
I like seeing detailed VW builds. Been ten plus years but I'm finally starting the 56 oval window Baja build, supposed to be for my son but plans change ya know m 🤷🏼♂️🫤 Got a 2180 & dune buggy to use as a donor

Love the VWs
How would I be able to find out where you're going to race at next do you post it somewhere on when you go to do your races
Follow Blake at @blakewilkey357 on Instagram he usually post what races he will be attending when they come up.
Awesome
For the short course races, is your co-driver using comms as well? Do they use the Rugged handhelds in tandem with yours?
