Yes, Sat the 19th. This will be for cert only. My understanding is that the chassis will need to be upgraded to todays spec. Wayne will go thru the engine to freshen things up. Heads will go out for inspection and a "tune-up".Brian Watts said:FANTASTIC!!!!!!

Probably! LOL ;DDominick Luppino said:Is this the same Van Day that was escorted out of the Las Vegas Bug O by the track officials and was told never to come back? I saw the whole thing happen and I was shocked!

That is the same Van Day. I was helping him in his pit that day and I did not hear the call for his class to come to the staging lanes. If I remember it right, Hobi showed up late to the staging lanes as well because he did not hear the call. I have known Van since about 1980 and he has sometimes been hot under the collar for one reason or another. I saw him at the last BOR and he is showing the signs of age. It was also nice to see his old race car 1 HI DUDE racing again.
This is a picture of 1 HI DUDE back at one of the early BOR.

Just like what was said above, I was in the tower and couldn't believe what I was seeing, the even dumber move was when he was flying back down the return road and was not stopping for the track officials that were waiting for him. He was lucky that throwing him out of the event was all they did after that stunt
Brian, I will give Van a call tomorrow and see if he has any pics or info about the car he can send.Brian Watts said:Dominick
know anything about the UP dragster?
I have only seen the Dragster once right after Van bought it. It is definately named "Under Pressure". He debute it at a "Good Guys" show in Vallejo. For the life of me I can't remember the previous owners name, but he was pretty well known. I am going to go thru my old pics today to see if I can find anything.Brian Watts said:Anyone have a photo of Under Pressure?
Or any background info on who built it and owned it before Van?
I have never seen that one
I was a little confused when I saw the "Under Pressure racing Team" name being used. I thought it was the re-emergence of the dragster. I did a Google on Under Pressure....guess it is quite a popular name.Brian Watts said:Is it still named "Underpressure" ?
That name gets used allot!
Anthony Vaughn had a turbo bug named that back in the 90s I think?
And now you have Tywon, Bernell and the rest of the "Under Pressure" Racing Team
C'mon Rich, I'm chompin' at the bit. I know there is lot's of history on this car.buggdude67 said:G. I think I have only seen this car once and don't remember much about it.
More to follow.
The red car originaly was built by a guy in Oregon,...Bamburg. It started as a Baja Bug and then morphed into a Drag Bug. Van got in from Bamburg and paraded it around for a few years.Brian Watts said:Clean car!! where did it go?
Thats Brian with the red buggy now right? why did he change from this bad bug?
