Now that a few of us have had a taste of Supersprints, the BMW Drivers Club has invited Club VeeDub members to attend their Supersprints.
There will also be a Supersprint again held by the BMW Drivers Club in September at Oran Park.

Sunday 12th July:- Eastern Creek Supersprint, hosted by the BMW Drivers Club, we have been invited to attend this event. Contact BMW Drivers club Motorsport Director: Lloyd Kelly motorsport@bmwclubnsw.asn.au or Mobile: 0419 430 779
Will include Driver Training & Practice: 0900 – 1045. 10 minute sessions with 10-12 cars evenly spaced on the track at a time. Instructors are mandatory for new drivers in this session and instructors are available for all other drivers in the morning sessions only. During these sessions cars will be graded according to times for the super sprint sessions.

Hi Craig
Post the times when your done so that we can see how they compare with the humble VW times from the other week.
Didn't Mitsubishi make the Japanese Zero fighter plane? That will be the temperature down at Wakefield.

Will do Steve......yeah will be bloody cold, so I will probably have the heated seats set on high 😀

Hi Craig,
Any chance of having a run? Would like to give my '59 Beetle (Blackish,swing-axle,link-pin,drum-brake, 100hp, etc.) another buzz around Wakefield. Cheers, Greg Mackie.

Hi Greg
Any idea when the new car will be running?
Craig, I'm on holidays then, but I'm working on the great wall of Carter still and the bug in between times.
So did anyone have a run at the creek?
Steve

Hi Steve,
Found a few problems (expected), but have sorted most of them out. Still looking for wheels and other bits. Should have the car ready in about 3 months.
Cheers, Greg

Hi Greg, I have left a message with the guy organising the day........fingers crossed for you !
There's going to be some good cars there....including a GT40!
HappyDaze ·
Thanks Craig, here's hoping. If that's a REAL GT-40, I'll pop down just to see that.
Cheers, Greg
Special Air Service ·
Craig, let us all know if GT40 is genuine please. I know an old bloke that would problably make the trip to see it go around a few times.
Cheers
Brendan
Craig Torrens ·
Yes its a real GT40,but its the new model not the old one......should be very quick!
Sorry Greg unfortunately there are no more spots 😠..........there's 47 cars in total and it was going to be capped at 45!!

Yep freezing cold and it rained for the whole afternoon!!
I did 1.10's (transponder in car) in the EVO......not bad for a standard car and my second lap of the track! 😎...just on 200kph down the straight and average fuel consumption of 58.8lt/100km according to the computer 😂
The second session was quicker as the sun came out and i was starting to get up the car........easily 1.09's and probably in the 8's, but this was a untimed session😠
good to met you today Greg....you will see me at the Marulan Track 😎

Guess why I left when I did! No point getting older if you don't get smarter!
Cheers, Greg
Craig Torrens ·
😂..........but you missed all the wet weather racing !
HappyDaze ·
That's true...........and I also missed getting a wet arse! The Spyder has no hood.

Steve,
Is there any updates on this? There may be a few guys on here that need to make plans. I would like to think I may be one of them but timing will play a big part.
Cheers
