Well my Dad and I left around 7:00am from his house to our good friends Desert Dingo Racing who are based in Gorgeous Santa Cruz CA. After a detour of my dad thinking Santa Cruz was Monterey we finally made the Santa Cruz Highway. If I wasn’t pressed for time I would have loved to gone down to the beach because it was a gorgeous day. When we arrived at DDR Headquarters Jim had the car on the side of his house.

The driveway is a fairly steep gravel driveway with a hook left so we had our work cut out for us. We pushed the car to the grade and found out the car has good breaks so the plan was drop the gate on the trailer and it should roll right on. Riiight. So we roll down the hill backwards and bang…

Instant stop! Whoops back end doesn’t clear! So we pulled the trailer forward and borrowed the neighbors driveway turn the car around and get it to the gate and then start winching it on the trailer using our Polaris Versa Winch that we got at our friends at Placerville Polaris Tools! This little winch worked amazing and made a tough job easier. After getting the car on the trailer which barely fit we strapped it down and are heading home now! Let me tell you being a Virgin owner of a VW I can’t tell you how cool the attention we are already getting from our car is! This new project for Team Drake Racing is going to be a fun one!
