One of the WPVW bugs just hit the wall (supercharged bright green bug driven by ben ) front end is pretty knackered. I'm sure others will post up more details. Bloody rain. Al

definatley a case of bloody rain, between the track being dried & the rain coming again just long enough to stop racing & cause more delays, there was time for 2-4runs each time it dried up almost all day, as i was leaving it was the longest stint all day, bloody engagement party 😬
cya's again tomorrow, and it better NOT rain more - oh for anyone driving up tomorrow, the stretch of highway from willowbank to the bottom of the range has gone downhill in quality in the last 6months, the way back is the worst of it though 👍

just got back and yes it was a frustrating day.
I managed 3 runs with my first lighting up the slicks and pointing me toward the wall on an ever so slightly damp track.
Wayne Fenech had a spectacular lose go through the lights in reverse but managed to keep it off the wall
And then Ben Ford (VPVW) hit the wall but was ok although a bit shaken.
Thoughts go out to all the guys who travelled from down south just to sit and watch.
Warwick track guys did the best they could in keeping the track prepped between showers.
and on a side note I ran my quickest 1/8 et and mph so far 8.17 at 85mph with more left in it.
Don't be surprised if their is no or little racing tomorrow. Weather forecast when I left was looking grim......but then again it wasn't supposed to rain today.
Paulc1964au ·
its a real shame the weather has been so lousy
11CAB ·
Andrew, are you sure your speed is right? I ran an 11.3 @57mph

11.3 that's better than my first run of 15secs...nice

Awesome dude!
Super1302 ·
any one at all seen video yet? seems to be a bit of a dud? been on, nothing at all.
1916baja ·
I think the bad weather has played a big part in the bad coverage.
Paulc1964au ·
I am watching now looks ok
Paulc1964au ·
Just saw Rod Penrose burn the track
Dasdubber ·
Sunshine here at the moment so racing is well underway!
Paulc1964au ·
yes was awesome
beetleboyjeff ·
I was on earlier and it was great - saw a few runs. I am on again now, and it is a bit stop-start, but not too bad. Makes missing being there not quite so painfull, but makes me even more determined to make it next year.
Paulc1964au ·
yeah i am still watching but its been an hour since the last race not sure why such a long break

Just home after a great weekend - today there wasn't a drop of rain so racing wasn't held up at all unlike yesterday. Lots of great racing with Rohan from Mick Motors taking the Quick 8 win over Brad (westi) in the final. I am sure others will update the results and will post links to footage (will get some vids up in the next couple of days). Well done to Craig and the organisers again, and thanks to the vw-gods for keeping the rain away today! Hope everyone travelling has a safe trip home (rained pretty much all the way and now pissing down at home on the gold coast).

With the talk of getting video's up I hope Aus Post came through for Wayne Penrose. I sent a camera to him express post from Thredbo on Thursday.
Last I spoke to him I was driving on the Alpine Way during my move back to the big smoke and txt'd the express code. Haven't had the chance to confirm the camera arrived in time. If it did Ben's crash will be forever ready for replay on YT.
If it wasn't for me over tightening my front wheel bearing then driving 2500km and having to fix it roadside after it failed, Wayne would've had his own camera supplied by me before he left.
I hang my head in shame if we missed the crash footage.
colonel mustard ·
Das just put up some footage of it..

Thanks to Ray for putting up live streaming!😎
Although I didn't get to see much as had business commitments.
