Good to see that everyone had fun and the weather held out, But seriously drag racing VW's is like a children's foot race at the olympics, cute, but hardly exciting. Top Fuelers for me 😵💫

Yep, that's why I've been doing it for 34 years, but sitting in the car, I can't see them straining their necks to see the finish line or hear the crowd response when my VW beats a much larger capacity car. If it's that uncompetitive and uninteresting, why don't the V8's I race laugh and point When I come into the staging lanes?? - to each his own- H
Nice pics Rose. Where's the video from the camera on the back of your car when I raced you? . I waived as I went past (just kidding). I really enjoyed the days racing with you guys and the banter in the pits amongst the racers. It was one of the best days racing I have in a long time and I'm sorry for tying to psych you out in the staging lanes.
Cheers
Andrew
Silver you are a troll. Why do you bother to to post on a drag racing site for VW's and then critisise VW drag racing? Have you got nothing to do tonight? No cartoons on TV?
MODERATORS GET RID OF HIM

so all opinions must be in favour of and supportive
or they are not appreciated…
then sorry
I'll try again..gee the VW racing was great this year only 6 seconds off the pace
How about you try and be constructive in your comments Silver - Try to remember for everybody else on this forum VW's are a passion and we love what we do.

HENRY
Yep had an absolute ball got to the semis 4 of us there Matt Berry, Dave Becker, Andrew Ermel and meself Dave BEck ended up winning we had a good discussion at the staging lanes
didn't obey number 1 RULE DONT back off so Matt Berry got to the finals B u G g A r I think I worked out he won by 0.009 extremely close racing
SILVER if you didn't race or even attend for that matter DONT F$#@##$ comment I would expect those comments from TT
This is grass roots racing if we left the drag racing to only the elite classes where would the drivers come from that are going to drive the elite cars?
If I'm not mistaken Gary Berg still holds the record for the ss/cc class that he raced his VW in, locals have been coming close, this class is open to all sorts vehicles but a VW still holds the class record.
The racing on the weekend was bracket racing which truly is great fun no matter what your driving.
I actually prefer racing around corners but I was happy to get a 1/4 mile time for my car, I now have a baseline to improve on.
I am annoyed i had to work again and missed it all! to all those who raced and those who attended please keep doing it as our small group need to stick together! Please post any results and pics and stories as i want and need to hear them! thanks to all who attended!

Silver you're an idiot, what you're doing is like walking into Harlem and saying you hate black people... And telling Henry to grow up?? The man is the best ambassador for our sport we have, he's made more bogans look twice at a Vw than any of us! If you don't like Vw drag racing, get out of the Vw drag racing section of the forum... Or join in, maybe you can make it more exciting?

People you're playing into his hands by feeding his self gratification in pushing peoples buttons and watching the fall out.
The way I look at it with a Volksy you get value for money...it's not over in 5secs.
Idiot, Troll, Wanker, sure I did not expect to get anything but a rise out of here, but still its an opinion, good, bad or otherwise,
"If you did not go don't comment"( expletive omitted) does that apply to all the other comments of non attendees or just the ones you don't agree with
I only hope that others peoples comments are not treated equally.
Some of you showed class and read my comments for what they were a Stir. the others well ??????????
so I guess I am wrong, and see the point, that to those who enjoy it, even billy cart races are fun.
Steve and I had three goals for the weekends racing in our cars "Beetle Juice" and the "Grey Ghost".
1. That the rain holds out and we get to both race our cars after the 900kms drive up from Melbourne. DONE!
2. That at the end of the day we havent broken either car and they drive up on our trailers on thier own power. DONE!
3. That we have both have run an 11 second passes and done it side by side. We ran on our second qualifiers 12.1. & 11.9 missed it by that much! (add the times togehter and dived them by two prehaps?)
Allways the next time. We enjoyed pitting with our fellow Victorians Barry and Darcey in the back Essex Bros Turbo Beetle. Track was very slippery by the end of the day with lots of oil downs making for driving staight a little more difficult. Still heaps of fun. Congratulations to the class winners as they worked so very hard and drove so very well with difficult track conditions to get the wins, they earnt it.
Thanks to Craig and the crew from Sydney for a great event again.
Hi Rose,
Fantastic video. You so badly need a stage brake. You will pick up heaps of time on the launch because you can load the clutch up and rev the motor up on to boost without creeping out of stage. Nice footwork all the same! Good racing young lady!
silver, i didnt quite catch your race number in all the posts ?
OH you havent got one , how silly of me to think you were smart enough to drive in a straight line
so just FUCK OFF
