Yes Glenn it was a great one.
Hat's off and many thanks to Club VW for organising it.
It is a big commercial risk taking a track hire and it was very disappointing to see so few VW spectators! If you want it every year you have to support it!
Don't forget David O'C from SA in his clean street registered fuel injected beetle "Kafer".
A PB of 12.6 not sure of the Mph. An awsome time from a full weight, street car that is NA.
The use of drag slicks stopped him from competing in the Gene Berg catagory.
Does anyone have a list of cars and best times/speeds for the event? People are posting some individual times, but a haven't seen any full results.
couple of pics, not very exciting though.

Hey so what happened to the PICs of the Orange Smoothieeeeeer on the start line.
Hey Glenn why whernt U on the start line in yr car ????
I got a few of the smoothie Dave and a good series of the big wheelstand - thank god for motor drives on cameras
I agree that it was the best drags I've been to for the nats. Club vw did a great job organising it and the quality of cars, vw and other, was awesome. My three favs had to be Rod Penrose' beetle, the cal look car with the meg and 48IDA plates from QLD and that wicked toyota wagon with the small block or somthing in it. It wheel standed for the nearly the whole of it's first gear.
well wicked🙂
awesome day had a blast it was like having my own dragstrip for the day - awesome!!!!
It was fully siiick
I thought I had a nice still shot of the Orange Smoothee on the drag strip but it turned out to be a video.
LOL CT

great to see some kombis out there. id struggle to go under 30 seconds and get over 100km/h.
Save water, drive an air cooled Volkswagen.
yeah right, go the kombi's
YOU HAVE JUST BEEN DAKED
don't worry it's a VW thing
vw54, my Oval not going too good at present.
1. I dont think it would have passed scrutineering if they looked under the engine due to oil leak.
2. one gear missing, but good news - the Gearbox is being built for it.
