Heads Up - Nationals Supersprint, Wakefield

amazeer · 2013-02-05T11:29:54+00:00

Paperwork submitted to CAMS today, hopefully they will turn it around a lot quicker than the hillclimb paperwork I just ran. In any case you will have at least 3 months to get your entry in. If you arent entered a week before the event you will pay a $30 late fee as was the case last year. The first couple of years you called my bluff because I am a sweetheart, last year you paid and the shock was evident on some faces and tones of voices. It makes it easier for me if entries are in early. If you are struggling to get your car ready in time, enter anyway. If you withdraw before the day you will get your money back. When it is easy for me, it is better for you, the racing will start earlier and be better organised. Pre entrants also go into the draw to win their entry fee back (as per last year). A couple of things that will be different this year based on feedback from last year. 2 major issues getting cars on track on time, 1 your fault, 1 my fault. Firstly, in accordance with the above, there will be 3 queues at checkin. If you are pre-entered, paid up, have your CURRENT licence and CURRENT club member card you will go into the priority one gold class express line and you get ticked off in 30 seconds. Go grab a coffee. If you are pre entered, paid up but are doing your licence or membership on the day you will go into business class queue. It will take you a little longer. If you dont have everything in order when you get to the front of either of those queues then you will be sent to cattle class. You will get served once all the people who have done the right thing have been served. You may or may not get out on track on time. Its the fairest system I can think of. Let me know if you have other ideas. Secondly, the colour grouping for your car will be attached to your entry form. The scrutineers wont be making it up as they go. It will be based on your previous years times or a best estimate based on similar cars. There will be running order sheets at the tower and at scrutineering. That way everyone will know when they are due to go out. Hopefully I wont cop gobs of abuse first thing that ruin my day. So yeah, keep an eye out for paperwork in the next few days hopefully. I think we should have all bugs ironed out and it will be the best ever. I may not have any nuts left because that is the week of my wife's 40th, but we'll see how we go. Nothing gets in the way of VW's and car racing.

List of entries as sent to the timing contractors tonight. Yep I'm aware I have two car #11's. Someone will need to change to 111. There maybe a couple more entries in the mailbox and its not too late to enter. If you know of any missing cars from the list please let me know. I dont know if the Paragon will appreciate it but I will do some simple licence and membership checking on Friday night. If you have them both and they just need to be sighted drop on in. My mobile number is 0423 189 679 if you want to send me a txt to confirm I am there. Paragon cafe is on the right as you head south on main street, orange neon sign out front. Good food and licenced.

Woot home again! Beer o'clock!

Hope you all had a great day. Hope we addressed all the issues from the feedback given last year. Most people pre entered and that made it so much easier this morning. Thankyou everyone for helping make this our best supersprint yet. (Well I'm pretty confident that this was our best)

Not sure why our results arent on the natsoft site yet. They usually go up before the guys leave the circuit. They "should" be available here: http://racing.natsoft.com.au/results/ and then click on circuit racing.

Holy hell , Paul Zanello must have been peddling hard in J & S buggy to pull a 1.13

Don't let body work get in the way of real suspension travel

And Mr Berry a 1.21 is very respectable considering your on 135's on the front and no sway bar

Results are up on natsoft now. the times as posted are official times but there are quite a few cars in wrong classes. I picked up a couple with my unofficial results but I know I have missed at least one. Will have to have a closer look, probably tomorrow as I am brain dead after all the vw action. Not sure if any of those will affect winners. I hope not.

I forgot to draw the "win your entry fee back as thanks for pre-entering" at the drivers briefing. It has been drawn now, I will announce it after I get in contact with the person.

Thanks for a great event to all those behind the scenes. I was happy with the way Bluey went when all's considered. Unfortunately I had reduced track time, kept loosing the fan belt on the straight, 3rd gear pulling to 150km/h 7000rpm was too much for a stock diameter pulley and belt. 🙁

Thanks Andrew, but I did fit a narrowed stock swaybay before the event. 😉

I have made a few changes to my list of results to correct a few class errors. Please have a look to see if I have missed anything. Probably PM me. http://users.tpg.com.au/berzerk/Chris/clubvw/results.xls

Aside from making the running order one long single column list is there anything you want changed for next year?
