There was a bug turning some pretty quick laps at Road America a
couple of years back...
I also remember a beastie called the "Heishmann Stinger" that was
pretty ferocious at autocrosses in the Washington DC area back in the
60s... I wonder if there are any left? If memory serves the Stinger
was a beatle balanced & blueprinted (like a Formula Vee) with exhaust
extractor, camber compensator, and more aggressive rubber. You could
get it from the dealer (Heishmann) and If I'm not mistaken it still
carried the Veedub warrantee)
