Hot Hatch Racing

A whole bunch of situations stacked up against us, leading to us driving the B4DGER out to today's RallyCross. It's my first event of the year, and the first event for this car in like 9 months.

Brought Blueberry and Parts Bin out to this year's North Kansas City Schools Auto Tech car show! Last time we came out for it was with the first rally car 😅

Let's see if we can bring home any cool awards!

(Yes there's pig mat under Parts Bin, he decided to spring a little coolant leak yesterday evening and there was no time to replace the radiator with making last minute repairs to Blueberry 😅)

Air Volkwagen will be lifting off again shortly!

Save the date MOR will return to Crawford County on July 11th!
Volunteer and Competitor registration will be opening soon so keep your eyes peeled!

Help us save Snowbell 🤍💔

This sweet 7-year-old pittie/boxer mix is currently on a euthanasia deadline at another shelter. She is not with T.A.R.A. yet, but we want to pull her to safety - if a foster can step up.

Snowbell was surrendered after her owner went to prison. The shelter got her vetted, helped her recover from a back issue, and now she is doing well, smiling big, and ready for her next chapter.

She is happy, sweet, and can get excited, so older kids may be the best fit.

Dogs like Snowbell are exactly why fosters matter. You provide the safe spot. T.A.R.A. provides supplies and vet care.

If you can make space for Snowbell, please apply to foster at tarasdream.org/foster 🩷

Erik is finally back to tinkering on the Monty and putting the 3d printer to work once again. This time it's mocking up an intake to fit the mk4 manifold onto the mk3 engine in the mk2.

Won two People's Choice awards and Erik's Touareg placed 3rd in Post-2000 Watercooled(no trophy).

Great day!

Out at the Mo-Kan VW show today in Smithville, MO! Brought the pickup and the Touareg.

Touareg had to get a little flexy and don all of the recover gear to show off.

I plead the 5th. 😅😅😅😅

"Come get it or it's getting cut up. "

Give it up for day 2! Today was a 125mm strike-through slotted screwdriver.
