Another Rabbit driver asked this question to me the other weekend at the races. We were gridded at the back of the pack again amoung the C cars. All my races have been amoung the C cars but, I'm a rookie so that doesn't mean a whole lot. But I'm having the time of my like racing, anybody...

Another first for me at Nashville, was getting the Rabbit up on two wheels. After I got the car back on track 3 laps down I was ready to lap the pack (remember I'm a Novice). During that first lap back on track there is an uphill section of esses leading onto the back straight. When I made...

I finally made it to my very first race at Nashville SuperSpeedway, first time for SCCA Club Racing too. There were 4 ITB cars, my Rabbit was not keeping pace with the other Rabbit or Golf during practice and qualifying but I was still way ahead of the Pinto. The faster Golf had problems...

I run Hawk Blues in an ITB Rabbit GTI. How much pad is enough pad before leaving for a race weekend? In other words when do you change out your old pads, 50%, 25%, 10% or when the sparks start to fly? My first race is Nashville, very fast turn 1, the Rabbit should be doing about 110 mph at...

Having just finished putting headers on the ITB Rabbit, I have been thinking about the intake getting heat soaked and was wondering what others may be doing. Here’s some idea’s I’ll throw out. Sheet metal box around the intake and duct some fresh air to create an air barrier, is this legal...

All this recent talk about F.I. got me to thinking (Caution, this condition can lead to dangerous situations). I just thought I should check out some things on the still new to me Yellow Rabbit. Also, I was down at Sebring last weekend attending my second school and I the engine just wasn't...

I'm ready to install the headers on the ITB Rabbit and I'm really tired of the exhaust banging on the rear beam. The rule book says the exhuast must exit belind the driver and away from the car. Can I just leave the pipe in the center of the car and turn it down toward the ground? Or does the...

I just finished and passed my first school, held at Summit Point by the DC Region, WOW, WHAT A RUSH!!! The weekend far exceeded my expectations and I got way more out of the weekend then I ever could have imagined. Can you tell I’m still pumped! There was plenty of traffic, 38 cars in Group...

If I run full tread Victoracers in the dry on my ITB Rabbit can I expect the tread blocks to chunck up? Anyone have experience with the full tread Victoracers in the dry on their VW? Or how well does a shaved Victoracer perform as an intermediate rain? I looking for an intermediate rain tire...

Serious buyer with cash in hand looking for an ITB Rabbit. Must be a clean and reliable and at least competitive on a regional level. Must be ready to race with current log book, inspections and any all updates for the 2006 season. I am located in NC so the car has to be located on the East...
