VW's what a great race it was fun to watch...... great footage THUMBs Up ..... covered it all

[@DukesofoffroadHazzard]

Hi Dana, thank you for the kind words! I greatly appreciate it! It was incredible to see in person!

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Nice , the VW has been a great Off-road vehicle forever. Had one for many years in Colorado it was the cheep alternative to a Jeep when you had no money . Thanks for sharing

[@DukesofoffroadHazzard]

Thanks for the comment. Back when I was 16 we used to beat them off-roading so much fun!

[@Murzerker333]

Damn this makes me miss my German Jeep. Yellow 72 superbeetle. Used to blast the control roads in the So Cal mountains as a teen.

[@DukesofoffroadHazzard]

Dang it man!!! I know the feeling bud! I recently was able to get my old Canam back thanks to my wife!!! Went 4 years with out her in my life and hated every minute of it haha.

[@bmwtravel1100]

drove a bug for 7 years, cross country 5 times too. with tire chains on the back, and smooth under belly, the bug could churn or toboggan through snow and drifts that stopped most vehicles of the day. and it was light!

[@DukesofoffroadHazzard]

They are definitely capable little machines huh!!! I’m guessing you drive a BMW now 😁 haha…man those times in the snow ❄️ make for great memories and stories! What motor did your beetle have? Was she built?

[@donbanti7734]

Those vws are great! Fun watching them!

[@DukesofoffroadHazzard]

So much fun to watxh

[@team4moffroad]

Starting from 1:38 is this "Baldwins Jump"?

[@DukesofoffroadHazzard]

No it’s heartbreak hill! South of BJs hill

[@team4moffroad]

@@DukesofoffroadHazzard thank you

[@mikeorr8994]

This brings back some memories lol. My parents bought their first Bug when my dad was stationed on the San Diego Naval Base where I was born. When my dad was discharged, they drove that Bug all the way to Ohio with 2 very young kids. Lmao. Those were not made for Ohio winters. I remember riding in that thing until I was 4 or 5 freezing my not yet exposed balls off. HAH memories.... Thanks for posting these great WARM weather classics!

[@DukesofoffroadHazzard]

That’s an awesome story!!! We grew up off-roading these with my buddy that has the bronco when we were 16 haha here in San Diego! Glad this could bring back a memory for you! So cool!

[@Clockburner]

Go Herbie Go!

[@DukesofoffroadHazzard]

Comical huh! They are bashing man!

[@izom]

haha dont wanna drive one- but fun to watch🤩

[@sixtyfiveford]

With all the horsepower in toys these days this actually looks way funner!

[@DukesofoffroadHazzard]

Yeah I couldn’t believe what they were capable of! I mean trucks had rough times going up that hill, some breaking drivetrains hence the bottle neck! So much fun

[@stacyreid5077]

Same place but way more action due to the VWs get stuck without traction at the top. Great video buddy

[@DukesofoffroadHazzard]

Yeah it was absolutely comical watching these dudes bash it out! So fun!

[@stacyreid5077]

@@DukesofoffroadHazzard I bet it was cause it sure looked like it on video

They are Rowdy haha!!!

[@memoriesneverdied]

Just like a video game 😂

[@DukesofoffroadHazzard]

I totally is haha! I would buy that 🎮

[@skeetermcswagger0U812]

This is the one place I would have never anticipated seeing class 11 race at. I don't ever remember seeing a Volkswagen Bug out there any of the other times I've been to Hammers/Johnston Valley!!! I'm surprised no one who owned 1 of those bugs didn't pre-run the course with a bug....that part of the course would have been changed or bypassed once the organizers got adequate notice that it wasn't passable with a class 11 car.

[@DukesofoffroadHazzard]

That’s what they were wanting an absolute challenge, multiple VWs got up it no problem…the problem started when a 1400 truck lost its drivetrain on that steep hill on the main part of the road and was dead in the water…vws were able to pass so gnarly on the hill and get by but the ones who couldn’t see in the dust is when it caused chaos!

[@skeetermcswagger0U812]

@@DukesofoffroadHazzard Oh OK, I was wondering when that truck got stuck there so that makes more sense now!!! LOL!

[@DukesofoffroadHazzard]

@@skeetermcswagger0U812 I guess I should have said what happened in the video haha 😆 it’s all good bud! Trucks were racing while the bugs were to…the joke was that the bugs could catch up to the trucks…but nobody actually thought it would happen and it absolutely did haha

@@DukesofoffroadHazzard Watching that reminds me of Hare Scrambles in the trees when the path is blocked. Chaos to the max. I had to ride over the Pastors bike once.

Long live Class 11!

[@kokrket]

Explains why the cars where so spread out once they hit the lake bed. Best seat in the house

[@DukesofoffroadHazzard]

I wish I could…I wasn’t able to see that part of the race unfortunately

[@peterswalmen]

What nice cars to watch, Great video. What camera did u use? Was it on a gimbal?

[@DukesofoffroadHazzard]

Afternoon Peter! Thanks for the kind words bud! I just use my iPhone 12max & a steady hand! No gimbal or anything used!
