It
is not surprising that Vintage Vee-Dub Supplies
owner, Boris Orazem, has been involved with VWs for many years,
not only through the business but also on the race tracks.
Boris
was racing Forumula Vee in the early 1970's at Warwick Farm, Amaroo
Park, Oran Park, Winton and Calder (where he had a spectacular
barrel roll in 1972!).
Boris
has also made numerous appearances in Targa Tasmania and East
Coast Rally races. In the 1993 Targa Tasmania with co-driver Dave
Pryor, Boris scored 1st place in the Classic Car Category for
cars made between 1966-69. In the 2002 and 2003 East Coast Rallies,
Boris partnered with George Geshoss to take 1st place honours
in their Class.
The
Beetle that was Targa formerly used in the Targa races is now
the Vintage Vee-Dub Supplies drag car.
