Its a local car club for aircooled VWs, Norcal Aircooled Group, NAG. They cater to old slow chrome cars, needless to say my car doesn't fit in there. The most important part of their cars are the little stick up plates they bolt to their bumpers, where I'm more concerned with going fast and decent handling. None of them would be caught dead in a 1302 or 1303...

Our only permanent drag strip in the Netherlands held a street legal shoot-out:

Hi
It looks like like your car is really getting it teeth into it, nose in the air back hunched down. How are you finding the G50 ratios? Assuming they are stock. Steve

Actually, I like the stock ratios just fine: The longer first is very nice to have with a torquey engine and I drive about 195 km/h at just over 6100 rpm, where my max hp is. In the quarter I don't reach that rpm in 4th .... yet
 so I have some room for upgrades left.Cruising 70mph (120 km/h) in 5th is about 3000 rpm, which is nice as well. Head temp is then 325-350F yeah, I like this gearbox mucho.

isn't 350 pretty hot, or is that acceptable?

That range at that speed with those rpm's is not just acceptable, its actually pretty nice.
Stock engines with stock cooling and trannies run 375F at 60 mph when all is well with the mixture in that stock engine... The nice thing is that the given temps don't rise much at all when speed and load increases. Big difference with a stock engine... I know these differences very well, as I run CHT sensors on both the 1303 and my daily type 4 with stock engine/cooling.

380 degrees scares me, the next thing I get for my car is a decent CHT, now that I have my oil temps under control with an external cooler.
