Well boys and girls, some petrol action is around the corner with Round 3 and 4 of the NSW Hillclimb Championship being run on the weekend of 28th & 29th April.

Round 3 - Sat 28/04/07 is being held at Fairburn Park (Canberra - start 9:00am), while

Round 4 - Sun 29/04/07 is being held at Wakefield Park (Goulburn - start 9:00am).

This should be a good weekend of motorsport with two seperate events (tracks) being run at two very different locations.

There are a few of us VW's heading down to compete, so if any body wants to came and have a bit of a look/ see, then get a few of your mates together and make a weekend of it.

If anyone is keen on having a run against some other VW's, Datsuns, Honda's, Suzuki's or Escorts then get your entries in.

Hope to see you all at the race track....

Round 3 and 4

Saturday was round 3 at Fairburn Park, Canberra, it was wet and cold - did I say wet, it bucketted down for ages. special thanks goes to the origanisers and officials who did a great job in really crappy conditions. There was only one beetle at hte event unfortunately, that belong to the Abbotts, Nathan and John who fought out 3J < 2L. Nathan had a reasonalble day taking out the class, at one stage he was running 4th outright in the rain. Having said that John was a full second faster early in the day so it wasn't all easy [admittedly that was in the dry but bragging rights were pretty good].

Whilst there wasn't many beetles there was a few formula V's and the event was taken out by Peter Gumly, nowhere near his record at the track but very fast.

The first lot of photos are from Canberra the next lot from Goulburn. There wasn't much variety to take photos of ............

Sunday Round 4 - Wakefield Park

Another cold and windy day. The day was fought out for 3J < 2L by Nathan and John in the lone beetle, Nathan again going faster. The day wasn't all plain sailing with a little hiccup in the beetle seeing Nathan take a supercheap stop for a rota button and a distributor cap. That and trying a little to hard in the left hander after the hairpin tagging the tyres. OOOPs.

See the write up, times, action and all the photos in the next issue of VWMA.

Mick.
