The countdown has begun for VW Warwick 2010. Thanks to Mick Motors for coming on board as the major sponsor, and to Volkswagen Genuine Parts and Rod Penrose Performance for their continued support this year.
As I won't be in the drivers seat for this event, you will be happy to know I will be the official track commentator, and with plenty of behind the scenes goss on most drivers and crew, I can guarantee some entertainment from behind the microphone. Bribes will be accepted to keep me quiet....
A reminder - driver entry can be made online or by printing and posting the entry form at www.vwma.net.au no later than September 24th 2010.
One month until VW Warwick. Crank-up the pace if your drag car is still not in one piece!!
The VW Watercooled Class is back on track for 2010 with some healthy early numbers and the VW Special class is looking to field an impressive bracket.
With VWMA expanding to 116 pages from the current issue, there is now extended coverage in issue#28, including more images and info of behind the scenes action, car show and parade over the two days.
For rookie would-be racers who have always been tempted to enter the sport of VW drag racing, then Warwick is the place to find the nation's best drivers and engine builders in one place. The atmosphere is friendly, advice flows freely and the racing is non-stop.
Getting close now , motor is fitted and runs sweet, gearbox is straped down hard and have made a nice tramp bar for under the rear of th engine have scored some great looking rear rims and the body is structually sound but looking how a good Rat should .
This weekend comming will see the lowered beam going in and brakes are also already all done .
Mabey will be at Action day , see how we go !!

Don't let body work get in the way of real suspension travel
For Qld VW drag racers who are intending to enter this year's VW Warwick event and have not done so as yet, I will be attending the VWDCQ Action Day this Sunday 12th September with entry forms and other information. I'll be somewhere close to the VWMA T5 and trailer.
Although the event is 3 weeks away, entry cut-off is September 24th. Don't be caught out, as I am unable to take entries after this date.
The trophies for 2010 are different to previous years, and have a 'functional' value as opposed to shelf decoration only. VGA has also chipped in with some factory promotional goodies.
THIS I HAVE TO SEE !!!! I'm keen to run again at a TNT before Warwick. can some one text me or call to let me know when Michael will be going. (please)

I'll be leaving Sydney in the Oval after lunch on Thursday, picking up Jak Rizzo from the Central Coast, and staying overnight in Tamworth. On Friday I'll cruise to Warwick with Keith Hauesler who will be taking his car to Warwick for the first time after almost making it for the previous 2 years.
I look forward to catching up with everyone again.
No improvements to my car, besides new oil and spark plugs.
Jak is going to ride shotgun in my car. We'll probably play "I Spy" communicating in sign language all the way, unless I change manifolds and quieten down the webers.
Jak's car would be better on the trip, but he doesn't want to play gearbox lotto with all that power and the sticky drag strip.
Hey Col. Are bookings available at Mayman's B&B. I know your sister has decided to get married that weekend just to keep you from Warwick. It's only half worked.
