The car has been pre. prepped as in wires, cables etc. not needed being disconnected. Bolts loosened, tinware loosened etc. you get the drift. I would like to see a real engine pull on a 20 year old car being in service the whole time, I guarantee you the engine would not be in and out in less than three minutes.. Simply not doable even with two guys and dedicated tools. J.

But, I don't notice how long it takes me. I believe the "Bug-Ins" sometimes have these competitions. I think the rules are you drive to the start line , Take it out and put it in and drive to the finish line. Penalties for bolts left off. etc. I'll check out the site. Thanks. -- Money!

Starting gun goes off, go forward 10 feet, jack up the car, put it on stands, pull the motor, move it back 10 feet, then forward 10 feet and back into the car, the both team mates get in the car, start it, and drive it forward 10 feet, where it has to pass tech... what's even more amazing is that Rand and Fred came in First... AND THIRD in the same heat. I have it on the old Super 8 film. PS to the poster that says it was "bogus"... the car had to pass Tech BEFORE the contest, as well. The accelerator cable, heater cables, all 4 engine mount nuts, and all wiring had to be intact, and tight, before the contest, and after. Yes, I was there. |

It's true, Rand was a friend of my brothers. There was certain rules you had to follow. No butterfly nuts/bolts, all hardware and wiring intact. Car must be driven up to the line, and able to be driven after completion. Oh, the good ol days of early Cal look VW's.
