RACING AT 2008 VALLA SPECTACULAR Ooorkay racing is on again for this year at the Valla VW Spectacular Again we will be heading to Raliegh raceway for Friday and Saturday circuit racing. Entry will be $80 for one day or $120 for the two days, with a different format to the last couple of years. This will be a racing meet held by the track owners itself and as such, no cams license will be required. There will of course still be a scruitineering process for everyones safety (more details as they arrive)...........but basically if your car is registered and road worthy you will be o.k, as will dedicated track/climb cars of course. There will be no TIMES being recorded, the racing will be over a set time frame (10minutes maybe) with two cars on the track at a time.........this would allow drivers to complete many laps during each of their sessions as it takes about 1minute per lap around the track........this makes this event very very reasonably priced! It would cost much more to do this much time in a hire kart! Naturally the entries are open to one and all, experienced or not, slow or fast! For me i find track time very enlightening on how hard my car will go and handle in a safe enviroment....it can be quite eye opening as to where the limits are of your vehicle!........something which you can apply to your everyday driving safety! Helmets, long pants, long sleeve shirts and covered shoes will be required as per any motorsport event.........there are more details on requirements in the supplimentry regulations available very soon. Passengers are allowed for an additional $20 , so for all those who have always wanted someone else to experience the fearlings 😂 of your race car and driving ability, here is your chance!!!! Entries will be held to 30 cars per day (one entry per driver)...........and as such will be held exclusively for VW drivers (US!🤓) until June 1st. After that entries will be offered to local car clubs to fill the numbers, and believe me, they will fill very , very quickly due to the popularity of these days held at Raleigh now. Sooo, whos up?..........I will be there in the hellVWrx .🥷 and hope to have a drifting style set up tuned and tested before then P.M me for contact details. or VW SPECTACULAR

Damo - I'm glad there wansl't more damage, I've bought/stripped/worked on a couple of fire-damaged cars (VWs and others) and it's often a shitefight...

GTMac - yeah, that 240V charge woke me right up!! Wow, I'd forgotten that day at Uni...

Cam, i was thinking about your racing desires when Paul posted that...........

he drove it off the trailer at oran park bug-in and ran 1st outright!. it had been something llike 4 or 5 years since he had driven it.

nice close ratio/tough gearbox, 2L (plus maybe) EFI motor that went very hard indeed (porsche fan/shroud), heaps of neg camber on front, race sway bars, full roll cage, stripped interior etc etc..............full sorted/proven package if you can get him to part with it!.

nice bloke, that's been around long enough gather the know how to build a fast race beetle too!

search the oran park or "bug-in" posts...........there are some pics of it in action there

i have his email if you really want to contact him..........definately chasing the price and particulars myself, great car!
