That's Harry Weber's brown motorhome (notice Weber Clutches, Cams and Flywheel sticker) in the background.
Dave and The Ghia were instrumental in developing Weber Clutches, Cams and Flywheels VW camshaft program.
Weber Clutches, Cams and Flywheels was later divided and the camshaft group is now known as WebCam ©.

Needless to say not many pictures were taken of or published in any of the magazines of The Ghia as she wasn't the most
photogenic car in the stewpot but she sure could, and did run.....many times past the pretty cars.  They were somewhat
forced to photograph the car when Dave made it to the semis or the finals.  Life goes on and ugly cars can and do run well.....

Never give up on your ideas and dreams, no matter what others may say....  your ideas just may work.


The competitor got the record that day......  we all have to do what we have to do.
