Good to hear guys. Flamin tiki and 2 Cranky are planing on playing that weekend too. Looks like we have tempted one melbourne car to take the trip as well.
Wayne the nostalgia format usually doesn't allow for efi. Does that mean retro day will allow efi. If so might be good for a few more cars that might not have previously been allowed.
Entry is in. It would be good to get a few guys out for the BBQ Saturday night at the track. This is when the Pioneer awards are being handed out as i mentioned in another post

I have spoken to Officials at WSID and efi cars will be permitted to run at this event , as long as the car is prior to 1978 . Their aim is to have a retro drag race meet with cars prior to 1978 and motorcycles prior to 1985 that are air-cooled only .
I am trying to get my father Allan to bring out his 1929 Ariel 500 motorcycle . He rode it all the way to Adelaide last year on his 70th birthday , and I would love to see the look on the faces of his vintage motorcycle club mates if he went drag racing on it .... Wayne

Cool Wayne! Looking forward to getting out there and making some VW Noise
Great news Wayne. That opens the door for more Vws. So get your entries in guys.
I'll be there in a media capacity.
Cool the paparazzi. Be sure to smile and wave.
Gotta love seeing an entry list for top gas with 9 cars and 5 of them vw's. Honorable mention for Steve craven making the trip up from Melbourne to head out in gas.
Camel Filter Bug to Attend .
The thrash is on to get the Camel to this event and the Rocket Open day on the Saturday.
Peter Keegan is receiving a Pioneer Award over the weekend so we thought it would be
nice to have the car there . It won't be finished but will be looking good.
Pete Page and I will be bringing it down.
See you all there.

that is awesome news guys and great to see such a massive effort being put into getting the camel bug there .
I'm sure Peter will be thrilled , and he deserves the honour of receiving this award because without guys like him doing what they done and acheived back in the early days of drag racing in Australia , we might not be having as much fun as we do right now ...........

Some 20 litre buckets filled with water will be perfect Col. We usually use our fuel churns.
There is also the grassed areas but they are down the back.
I hope the track have pitted us all together
I think it might be worth a look
I'll be there boys! I'll bring there camera down to get some snaps

Camel Car is looking good. Hope to see lots of VW fans at Rocket Open Day and at WSID for
the nostalgia drags and celebrations.
HAHAHA Love it!!!!!!! Wish I was going to be there!!!!!!!
I'm going for a look, probably wont bring my beach buggy though- really not sorted enough for racing yet... there is a pit lane show and shine, but the car's al ittle rough, and powered by a subi turbo motor- dont think it's too appropriate?
Any pics of the camel car on display today??
