bat69 - July 14th, 2007 at 12:10 PM

As the heading says:

Sat 4th August Practice - Start 10am
Sat 5th August Race Day - Start 8:30am


Those interested in watching some motor sport action then come along to Italia Rd (Just North of Raymond Terrace). For those from Sydney its only about an 1 & 1/2 or so up the freeway. Ringwood is good track to spectate as the race cars/ pit area and track are all within view of the side lines. It is very well run by the MGCC with excellent catering facilities also available. Im entered and I believe there are a few other VW's going. Anyone interested in watching? See you there!

Well this event has been run and won. 1st place O/R went to Steven Hooker in a motor bike powered open wheeler. I had a $hit of a week end. I set a time of 33.39 on my fist run, which made me very happy until, I f*#ked my diff on my second run which made me very unhappy. Oh well thats motorsport. Heath set some really quick times in his beetle. He's fastest was a 32.44. This gave heath 8th o/r (out of 41 cars) and 1st on class, while christine was also craking setting a time of 33.2 (something). Congratulations heath on the win and a new class record to boot. Read all about it in the next issue of VWMA.
