Now that a few of us have had a taste of Supersprints, the BMW Drivers Club has invited Club VeeDub members to attend their Supersprints.
There will also be a Supersprint again held by the BMW Drivers Club in September at Oran Park.

Hi Craig,
Any chance of having a run? Would like to give my '59 Beetle (Blackish,swing-axle,link-pin,drum-brake, 100hp, etc.) another buzz around Wakefield. Cheers, Greg Mackie.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!
Hi Steve,
Found a few problems (expected), but have sorted most of them out. Still looking for wheels and other bits. Should have the car ready in about 3 months.
Cheers, Greg

Hi Craig
Post the times when your done so that we can see how they compare with the humble VW times from the other week.
Didn't Mitsubishi make the Japanese Zero fighter plane? That will be the temperature down at Wakefield.

Yep freezing cold and it rained for the whole afternoon!!
I did 1.10's (transponder in car) in the EVO......not bad for a standard car and my second lap of the track! 😎...just on 200kph down the straight and average fuel consumption of 58.8lt/100km according to the computer 😂
The second session was quicker as the sun came out and i was starting to get up the car........easily 1.09's and probably in the 8's, but this was a untimed session😠
good to met you today Greg....you will see me at the Marulan Track 😎

Guess why I left when I did! No point getting older if you don't get smarter!

Steve,
Is there any updates on this? There may be a few guys on here that need to make plans. I would like to think I may be one of them but timing will play a big part.

Thats a very good time Craig, is that out of the box or have you done some tweaks?
