Jay's 13' Wolfsburg Track Car Build

I feel like I fall into that category as well. No where near as much work as your car, but i've also got 0 seconds total seat time on the track so far
The funny part is I have more seat time than most of those guys. I was at the track with one of the mods from that group and running about 12 seconds faster than he was too.

Haters gonna hate, taters gonna tate.
Ok, I am in the same boat. I run in autox but I'm not pouring over the rule book to make the fastest GTI in my class. Seat time, like you said.
And midnight runs to Walmart via Mexico lol
I know the Dragon hasn't panned out, but maybe we can find a dream track day somewhere and eat Corvettes together.

Lol thinking about it has me laughing...the #vwracers group on fb called me a poser for building a car as much as I did but not competing saying I wasted my money lol. It's apparently justified and you aren't a poser wasting shitloads of money on a car if you get a trophy at the end of a weekend instead of just having a great time 😄
That was one particular dumb ass who I think got booted from the group for calling HPDE enthusiasts posers. He also said the group VWRacers needed to change it's name because we weren't "racing". :LOL:

I saw that last week ish...not what I'm talking about. This was well over a year ago aimed at me specifically. I asked some questions related to a corner balance which started the whole thing...me listing my suspension and mods. And no, it wasn't one person - was basically everyone.

Meh, my car will never be competitive, nor do I want it to be. I want to drive my car how I want to drive it and anyone else can suck eggs

that group has become a bit of a shithole. the dudes akshually racing mk4s are fine, then the rest of the posts are kyle gurny bragging about his new race suit or how he broke his gas tank racing so hard.

Yes yes yes. Maybe Barber or Road Atlanta

You guys are lucky there are track days now. When I started my search for seat time in 1984 it was build a race car & go racing or nothing. No such things as track days or HPDE then. I didn't mind the competition aspect at all, but the fender-bender aspect I truly hated. Have fun guys, you are right seat time is king. (y)

Road Atlanta is a fantastic track, I did a Skip Barber 3 day there in Miata cup cars.
+1 you can also practice it in video games.

This is hilarious because it’s true. I just lurk these days but there’s definitely the clout chasers that do most of the posting.
