OK, who thinks there should be a Supersprint at the 2010 Nats?

I visited your car today, ssssssssso close
VWMA Editor ·
Yes. The more VW motorsport the better. After last weekend I'm still waiting on my call from Red Bull F1 to partner Mark Weber next year 😂

no, I think motorsport is dangerous and promotes grossly irresponsible social behaviour 🤖

I can't believe this is even a question - OF COURSE there should be another SuperSprint at the Nats next year !!!
🙂
Two big 👍 from me - can't believe I almost didn't go this year - would have had massive regrets I reckon.

Of course it should be run again next year. Even freezing as a spectator, it was one of the best days I have had in a long time.
And you never know, if my wife dies before then, I could run my bug. lol.

Haven't you heard? Burning oil and petrol is bad...
Now get out there and do your best to burn up all of that evil stuff!

😂 yeah agreed there Paul............but if i have my way, you won't have a car to run 🤘 ........still waiting for the test drive before the deposit goes down!
i'll be taking at least 2 cars NEXT YEAR when it is ON AGAIN....i'm more motivated than ever before and will commence building a new BJ/IRS pan for myself this weekend....
........i would gladly pay the $$ or more again, you don't even want to know how much per lap it was this time around 🤪
for sure i would make the time to stop at the show and shine next year, but to be honest, without the racing, there is no chance of me being there (not that anyone could give a hoot anyways)

Hi
Damian I thought you had gone all strut crazy after having a run in Rods car, I guess Jeff the onion threatened to chuck you in the creek if you talked about strut cars.
As for running more events, our biggest issue is getting more of our club members up to speed as CAMS qualified officials, we had to borrow some from Chris's other club Wollongong Sorting Car Club and the flaggies from our club didn't have a break all day except for a short one at lunch.
I think Wakefield would be really nice at a warmer time of year.

volkswagens love the cold don't forget.......one of the reasons the VW spectacular is also run in the colder months
.......confession time.....struts are cool, it's just that they come attached to bulbus overweight beetles 😀

We should definantly have 2 a year Steve, the drag guys have 2 events a year. What about joining up the second one with the Mini Car Club, or even advertising the event with the Porsche Club of NSW?

A few people are already talking and looking at the viability of a 2 day, 3 discipline + more event at Wakefield/Goulburn Showground.Jak Rizzo wrote:We should definantly have 2 a year Steve, the drag guys have 2 events a year.
Jak Rizzo ·
that would be veedub heaven!
VWCOOL ·
yeah!! Like Summernats Grand Champion... but betterer!
Jak Rizzo ·
We could do it a bit like the Dutton Rally. We had a Slalom down 3/4 of the front straight, then turn off towards the fish hook, then go over & do the hill climb, then the next day do the supersprint.
It's very doable

Well, I'll be working on the new project for a few hours once a week, I'm aiming for 2013 😂
Got the body on an IRS/Bajjoint 'pan today (with squareback bits in the back) chucked in a superbug 'box & an adjustable beam that I had laying around the house... oh, and some 15x7 steelies with 195s that were gathering dust... think I need more offset though?

Craig Torrens ·
yep there should be one in 2010.
STIDUB ·
can we have one at qld raceway or something a lil closer than spit distance to canberra? qld aint a bad track to hoon around sideways on, similar views for spectators too, speaking of which, that track is great from a watching point, damn right there should be one next year 👍
Cam ·
Sandown grandstand is great for spectators, as is the top of the pit lane buildings at phillip island 😀
hellbugged ·
the roundy round track at Warwick looks like fun
Brian ·
What about the tamworth Track ?
it would be cheap enough and well suited for a supersprint
and North of Sydney

The Wakefield Park hillclimb is deceased. When they resurfaced the main track they just laid another 2-3 inches of hotmix over the top of the old track.... and they didnt bother with the hillclimb section.
A shame. I was at the very first one and got my pic in Auto Action. Went very close to laying the kombi down before I even got off the main circuit and onto the hillclimb section.

Tamworth Sporting Car Club runs lapdashs and Hillclimb events all through the year on the Oakburn Park circuit.
I can post the next event for anyone who is interested.
As far as supersprints go you can only run 1 car at a time as the track is esentially a go-kart track and is not wide enough for multiple cars.
Cost would have to be confirmed with the club but i can safelty say it would be more than resonable.
Cheers Col

Hi Col,
See if you can negotiate down to less than reasonable.

Hey Dave, we got lucky (if you could call it lucky)vw54 wrote:Guy put the tow car up on the hoist to keep it hi n dry

Sucked in water - through the turbo (only at idle speed) & put about 4 litres of water into the intercooler. When the intercooler filled up - no air could get past & she stopped!
So no water in the engine & gearbox & rear diff all came up good - had everything double checked (and noted in case of future insurance claim) but all up less than a grand (including a $270 tow...)
Screwed up the weekend, but could have been way worse!
put on some warm weather for next year please 😊
Guy_H ·
I agree - would have been great to catch up again! - let me know if there is any worth driving down for Jak & we will try. Maybe that NSW "Dutton" challenge later this year!Jak Rizzo wrote:Good, u were sorely missed Guy, would have been great to catch up, would have been the Dutton all over again!Guy_H wrote:Yep - will be in - bring down several cars!

Yes it's a horrible edge but I reckon a concrete scrubbing machine could fix that....amazeer wrote:The Wakefield Park hillclimb is deceased.

If my current overseas plans don't happen, and I am in australia I will be there next year. The money is ready to go, and I have leave saved up so its time the bug got back on the track and running. Its been to long on the passenger side. Need to start driving again!!

I should be there next year , at least 1 car , possibly 3
