Hi all

I am gauging interest from those wishing to have a run at Willowbank on a saturday night before Christmas. I know of a few who are keen so thought I would throw ii out there wih the following date..

DATE - Saturday 20th december

If you are keen then post which date you like and we will go from there. Be good to have something like 10 odd Volksy's to get out there and run eachother!

Cheers Brennden

I'm easy as i'm close by, however I need time to organise a tow car and trailer (until mine is built)
Just don't make it a Saturday when the Street Series is on or you'll spend most of the night in the staging lanes waiting.

I am cool for any Wednesday night.
Saturday nights are out for me unless long term planning.

I wont be running until my new pushrods are made,
and I have not even ordered the tubing yet.
Most likely early next year.

But always keen to know if you guys are running and I will try to make it up there.

OK, dumb question time - what's the requirements (car and driver) for running in a T&T at Willowbank ???

My drag racing experience is basically zero... just Warwick last year, and then crew for Wally at Jamboree this year...

Well the idea is try to get all the volkys mate's together for a lazy chat or food (christmas cheers) and then a few runs together at track . For Me a Saturday is best for a lazy get together (don't need to rush ). A Sat ,Test & Tune is the best more time and track opens a little earlier .Plus it tides you out for work next day if it's a Wed !
No people , Rod , Matt,Stanley,Myself ,sides ,bix , maybe Troy ,or Dave B.
For me and rod 20th Dec ?

Hope you guys have a great day/night out at willowbank - I would love to be there but we are having Christmas day early with my in-laws as they are going away, so I can't make it. Will be looking forward to pics/info so hopefully someone not racing can get some good shots!
All the best and merry christmas to everyone, stay safe.

Not sure, workshop now busy with the usual 'out before christmas' jobs. I also ordered some parts from Chinese Bullshit about a month ago, recieved a confirmation that the order had been processed and slugged with a USD$160.00 freight charge, and now after not recieving or hearing anything, the order seems to have never existed, even on my credit card.....what the!!
AND my new panel tow car doesn't have a tow bar yet.....oh the trials and tribulations.😵

Don't feel too bad Matt, CB Perf charged me US$320 for freight for a box of bugger all bits (and got hit with customs duty, GST blah blah).....but at least it got here, hopefully your order can be found and delivered!
