Supp regs and Entry Forms for this years Leyburn Sprints have recently gone up on their website... http://leyburnmotorsprints.com.au/downloads.html
It's held on 17-18 August, and you need to get your forms in by 17th July.
Never heard of Leyburn Sprints ??? Well fair to say it's my favorite event of the year, and the Qld Weekender TV show did a spot on it a year or two
back. (skip forward to around the 12:45 minute mark)
I'll be entering with Jezebel, plus my mate Noel in his new track-toy Beetle as well the VW Drivers Club's "Drag Fasty" in it's ever-evolving
roundy-roundy guise.
Anyone else keen to have a crack ???
Did this sprint weekend a few years ago in the Spyder, great fun.
Hey Pete. Good to see your still around. When will we see you back out on the track in the speedster
Can,t make it this year, but with my plans for next year Leyburn is definitely on the to do list.
Good luck Sides.
Cheers Col
It was very confusing for the announcer when I was at Leyburn. He had Peter McLeod, past Bathurst winner driving but hell he had lost some skills over the years. Classic. Yeah been some time :-) Both the Spyder and the Speedster are going back to their birth place of NZ this year. Been doing the Ironman thing for the past 5 or so years. Cheers
planning to be there this year. Finally have my turbos sorted so really looking forward to it and also a run at Mt Cotton in July.
Herb will be there, though he hasn't ran since last years event...
We will catch up closer and aim at getting the cars together this year
Pete
Sounds like might be up to five volksys's running this year then... awesome !!!
need to make sure we all pit together, that will make for an awesome sight amougst all the other brands.
I'm keen for the fasty loading it up on thurs arvo for noosa
Pete, didn't see your beetle on the entry list...
Entry list shows 6 VW's running...
- me with Jezebel
- Noel and his red 76
- Ian & Dave O sharing the Drag Fasty
- Craig in the VWMA FVee
- Tom in his special/shooting buggy
- and an Ian Gray in another Vee.
Should be a top weekend !!!
I busted my shoulder at crossfit, and as it turns out has just gotten worse. It was a toss of the coin as to whether it would be ok - but it isn't so
Herb can sit in the shed.
Hopefully I will pop up on Saturday for a look
Have a great weekend
Beautiful day out there today and a nice representation from the VW's
Ian driving well in the VWDCQ fasty
Noel going well in the maroon beetle
A buggy driven by Tom Hackett
Sides, driving his beetle really well and car sounding strong
Great day, absolutely loved it.
this is on my bucket list
That was my first time competing at Leyburn and I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend. The Volkswagen Driver's Club of Qld are to be congratulated for
having 4 club member's cars competing and a healthy band of supporters over both days.
For me personally, I raced my Fvee 1600 in CAMS logbooked configuration and finished with a best time of 55.645 and 56th outright from a field of 192.
I still have much to learn (very narrow track - ran out of bitumen twice), but the weekend is a well run, grass roots motorsport event.
You drove well Craig
My apologies for forgetting the Vees when I arrived home last night 
Hey Craig, don't forget the plugs from the magic tiguan boot of yep got some of those 
If the leyburn site decides to load for me I'm keen to see what decent tyres & sway bars managed to do as far as timing goes
Stock type3 running 10sec behind a vee & worked beetle... I'm pretty happy
have got it in my diary for next year and have warned all family members about it for 2014! good to see you all had a great weekend and managed to get everything back in one piece.
Was an awesome weekend - and I was pretty happy to lower my PB by 1.3 seconds to a 55.9.
Unfortunately results not out yet, so not 100% sure of my place in class... I think 7th or 8th out of 14, with the top 9 or 10 cars all within 2
seconds of the lead.
Was great having so much Volksy company - both spectating and competing - with all having a nice clean weekend's racing... bring on next year !!!
Awesome footage Dave , your car sounds really sweet . Looks like you guys had a ton of fun , maybe a good sprint circuit to take DTTF on next year . Well done mate
Car sounds great Dave 
VWMA will have full coverage of the VW exploits at Leyburn in the November issue with photos provided by http://www.ausmotophoto.com.au
If people pics are needed I'm sure we can come up with something amongst the club
Really good footage and driving Dave.
Got that event pencilled in for next year.
Cheers Col
I'm loving your vids sides,thanks for that...do you have any noosa in car footage.
Thanks for comments guys.
I've spotted a few areas to try and improve on for next year, but yeah - pretty happy still and was a great weekend all round.
Chris - have got incar from Noosa no probs, but can't get to youtube from here (China) to post it. Will do something about when I get back.
