http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results.cgi?23/05/2009.WAKE.S1 Provisional results. There is the odd car in the wrong class and the mini is not capable of a 1:06, so a few minor changes needed. Dont know what it looked like from the outside, but from inside my head it was a hectic first session. After lunch was much more pleasant. I hope everyone enjoyed it. I think it was a very well run day considering most of our officials were very inexperienced, and also a credit to the drivers many of whom have never raced before. The rate of attrition was the only thing I was disappointed with in the end. Sorry to those who had headphones on during my tirade. Nothing personal. Still not sure how keen I am to run another next year. There were plenty of forces fighting against it. Maybe do it without CAMS. I think Rudi was getting in some practice for the Bathurst 1000. How many laps did that poor thing do?

OK, ive finished entering the results into an excel spreadsheet. Personally I find it easier to read. I havent done any checking of my data entry, so let me know if you spot errors.

Does anybody have the specs on the Orange No. 7 Super Beetle?
I reckon it was one of the best sounding cars there 👍

more sway bar and neg camber + a race seat and harness = 10 seconds a lap for rose merret guaranteed

cheaper than more power.

Chris I have already had a few people ask if we can book Oran Park for a day, later in the year, before it closes. Would be good to have one last VW race day there before it is bulldozed. I wonder what is involved and how much it would cost?

No just have to set the rev limiter higher than 4500rpm as I didn't want to hurt me or the bug first time racing 😂😂

He sure was... He only screwed the engine together during the week before the nationals, installing the heads from my 1915 on it.

I'm not so keen on organising, you'd have to start now and I havent finished the paperwork for the last one.

It would cost a bit more than wakefield I would assume. You wouldnt get as many VW's there as the nationals because you wouldnt have the interstate competitors. Aaaand if anyone wants to compete there I am sure that there are plenty more clubs trying to squeeze in just one more event. If people want to mount a VW assault on one of their events I am sure they would be only too happy to take entry fees. Try the NSW road racing club or HSV club, MG car club, MX5 club.... they are all regular supersprint holders.

Thanks Chris, I will bring that up at the Committee meeting next Thurs 11th. We should make some enquiries - maybe the Porsche guys too.
