2013 VWinternationals

HS618 · 2013-03-11T13:07:40+00:00

With Dak-A-Tak's recent post on the number of Drag Cars in Australia, (which includes over 30 completed competetion cars on the east coast alone), I'm getting somewhat disenchanted with the current VW drag scene. How many amongst us are dedicated enough to enter the undoutedly biggest Drag meeting of the year? - the Winternationals. Last year there were over 600 entries (and 1 VW). Are we all that dedicated that only 2 (great) VW meetings a year satisfy our need to race? Are we scared of competing against other makes of car? Are we too busy doing other important things on that date? or is it just too expensive to enter? - yes it is dear to enter, but there is only 1 Winternationals each year. Let me hear your thoughts I hope I don't hear crickets again this year!

I look forward to the day we have more than one quick VW turn up to a local event here in WA.... For years it has been mostly just my brother and I with our street cars, giving it hell, but the rebuild of the POS and Turboboy's Buggy have peaked some interest locally.... I plan to run as many 'regular' events and TnT's as I can... Like you say, SS is a big field, but at this stage I think it's the best fit for me.... Maybe one day, I'll get my car over there and race you guys.... But not on that damn 'cherry track' up north! 😁

FUCH your early!

Just back from Willowbank...good day only a small rain delay. Good opportunity to have a yak with Henry.
He was stoked with his first round win but more so because of the close race rather than his opponents red light.

Wally was having a few fuel issues but still flying the volksy flag. Missed Michaels run but his car was certainly popular in the pits. Saw a bunch of people just going up and touching the wrap.

Good to see 7 top fuellers with 2 running 4 second passes.

Awesome day out there today !! So happy I spent two days of a three day honeymoon at the drags ! Michael Nash's car looks awesome, saw Wallys run yesterday I think it was a 12.35@128mph, wasn't pretty in 2nd but cleared in third and 4th. I really want a fueler, mrs isn't so sure...

Wally's car has been disqualified due to being under weight which we knew but didn't matter as its running like shit and can't find the problem!

BEING ASPIRATED FEELS GREAT BUT BEING BLOWN TAKES THING TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL....

😂 that's been like that since jamboree last year! Is there a reason he hasn't been able to rectify it?
