Default Garris bros. claim 2nd in race #1

Mike Garris and the `04 Enduro championship Jetta wasted no time in tearing up tarmac Saturday evening. After winning an impressive "walk away" victory in the 10 lap qualifier, Mike drove to a hard fought 2nd place finish in the 20 lap main.
In the qualifier, the black Jetta started in 2nd position, immediately jumped out front and never looked back. But in the final laps the car seemed to slow up a bit. It was easy to see something was wrong. After the Q, Jay told me there was a lifter problem. Mike would go into the main with a weakened car. However, VWF made a nice showing in the main. #44 started in 3rd, held the inside to grab 2nd position, and proceded to dual side-by-side with a Honda Prelude for at least 6 laps(...the Prelude came in 3rd )
There have been many changes this season for MVS and the Garris/VWF Team. The entire track is under new management. The new 4cyl class also presents a new challenge. And it seems that the long 75 lap enduro events from last year have finally taken thier toll on "Adolf's" engine. Right now, the team (db & I included) is searching for alternatives to keep VWF on the track this season. Once the options are weighed and decisions are made, I'll be back promptly to fill you in on the progress.


Let's keep VWF .:Racing...........racing!!!

It was a great night of racing, glad to see we are still very competitive in a new class even with a banged up motor. If anyone knows of a 1.8 engine 8v laying around contact me ASAP. I should have the race video up soon for all to see.

I checked around Show & Go yesterday, but I could not find any 1.8's for sale, a few 2.0's, and a bunch of heads...sorry guys...I'll keep looking.
