Hey cool pics everyoe, wish i was there, ws stuck fixing another kombi for a fella (Glen with com61 number plates) at the Pass after a surf, then got stuck in traffic in Byron, so decided to hit the markets, then got stuck in the people traffic at the markets, then still got stuck in traffic trying to get out of Byron :-)
anyways, what was the fastest combi ??? & was the black one in the pics that rotary powered one that was at Valla?
cheers & good stuff
Sides ·
Yeah - the black one is Aaron's 20B rotary powered Kombi... just the signage on it has changed since Valla.
RISKYBUG ·
yeah the 20b kombi is unreal dose anyone know what gearbox he is running??
rose ·
Great pics as I didn't get to take many over the weekend as I was having to much fun drag racing. I won a trophy for fastest female. Thanks to all the event organisers it was the best weekend. Can't wait till next year and we got home safe.

nah bug stayed home was in my ...cough... mainstreamer
theres list off all entrants and engine sizes in the warwick thread in drag racing forum
good on team china that was classic
bug was still 6 volt even
and the matching sqaure back with the datto engine had some mean cobwebs in there LOL
68AutoBug ·
Congratulations Rose
Just think If You took the bumpers OFF You might have gone faster...
at least you drove there and back IN the car Rose...
many didn't...
I'd like to know what classes there are etc
a single port 1600 auto isn't that fast .... lol
Maybe i'll have to practise... lol
and good to see you had no breakdowns etc...
No rain up there??
Rained most of the weekend in Scone...

Hey Lee, you dont need to be fast to win......just REALLY consistent......
LIFE IN THE LOW LANE ·
Aaron was the fastest Kombi by far. 6.8 something pass then I think I ran the 2nd quickest with a 11.54. The suby powered buses were running between 11.7 and low 12's consistantly. Splitty with 1776 was running 12.0-12.3's from memory. Would of been good to run all the buses together but Vw's with other engines were all in their own class and myself and the Splitty had to run against all other air cooled VW's. One run i had i got a 3.8 second head start!!
Craig Hughes and I had a lil battle going on with the rat bug. He got me in qualifying with me jumping the light playing some mind games then in racing on sunday last round i got him with a killer light (.411) and I beat him to the line. think he might have miss shifted or something. so score was 1 all!!!

Just a quick post - I've got a magazine deadline this week. I'll add in more detail and results from the weekend over the next few days.
Great event. Thanks to all who attended the weekend. Even though there's a fair bit to organise to get it all happening, it's all worth it when you see everyone havin' a good time.
The rat bug broke into the eights for the first time, with the best run of 8.922@78.40mph on Sunday in competition, which was a win against Crazy Col.
Yeah, I missed a gear. Seeing that nice shiny bus 😂heading into the distance and I didn't grab 2nd cleanly. The car is still hopping a bit - I need to re-think the set-up.
Troy's .401 - if I had a dollar for every time he told me that on Sunday I might make a buck out of this whole thing yet!!😂

Good effort Rose, what times and speeds did you run?
On another note,
would you believe that Aaron dove that black kombi to the track ,
and then after the event, returned the three hours home.
Awesome car and engineering!!

Yes Lee we had a good little trip about 19 hours all up, we all had fuel trouble just as we got over the boarder .Debs 70 bug stopped and I had to change the fuel pump and blow and suck the fuel lines to get fuel flowing yum yum, then Roses car started running on one carbie , lucky she has two 😂😂, when we got to Warwick we changed all the fuel filters as Roses and debs was blocked.🤪

Hi
This was my 1st Warwick and it wont be my last. Top job from all the organisers who were friendly and helpful, the VW people as always are great to be around. It was good to put some faces to the names
Nowhere near Aaron's feat of driving to and from the event, but we drove all the way from Sydney, raced and drove back at around 80kph as my sons on his Ls. We have to log every trip in his log book, we even put a few trips down Morgan Park in it.

Great photo! If you look closely you can almost see the expletives coming out of my mouth a split second after realising I just siezed Rod's (Richardson) 1916 engine on the start line.....whilst Rod Penrose powers off the line 🙂

dont worry mate it wasnt your fault, is was the 8,000rpm pete was pulling last year...

I thought the door flew open with all the preasure from your yelling and cussing inside. 😀
Wouldn't worry Das.
Rod and pete are top blokes. Don't think they would blame you for what happened to it.
Looks like you have some skilled hands, like dangerous dave willing to look after it for you to get it back into shape.
This is what i like about you drag racers, Your all an awsome little part of the VW community always willing to help another out. Top marks to you all for the weekend
