Hi

In conjunction with the 2009 VW Nationals we will be holding a Supersprint at Wakefield Park near Goulburn on the Saturday 23 May, the day before the 2009 VW Nationals.

Who is intersted in running?

Send me your snail mail address and I will get entry forms to you as soon as they are available.

My car isn't suitable, but great idea.


Sides - November 14th, 2008 at 06:10 PM

Yup - I'd be keen.


1303 - November 14th, 2008 at 07:01 PM

I'd be in if you can make it happen....are you planning on tagging onto anothers club event to make up numbers??


hellbugged - November 14th, 2008 at 08:11 PM

yeah, i'll be in that Steve


1303Steve - November 14th, 2008 at 08:59 PM

Hi

We are running the event ourselves, Club VeeDub Sydney merged with the Volkswagen Club of NSW some time ago, so we will be using expertise from our own club to run the event, we will however need to invite other clubs to attend to fill up the numbers, perhaps friends of VW racers.

We will need helpers on the day, we are trying to do it as cheaply as possible for the entrants but but we will have professional timing etc.

Thanks for the PMs keep them coming.

yeah mate


Mick058 - November 15th, 2008 at 08:26 PM

i would be keen, have a mini friend too.


Brad - November 15th, 2008 at 09:42 PM

What sort of vehicle do you need ? Mods etc ?

I maybe interested if I can use my L Bug with Subie.


1303Steve - November 16th, 2008 at 07:35 AM

Hi

Any car can virtually run, you would need a CAMS licence, your car would be scrutineered for safety etc, you would need a helmet, neck to ankle clothing and fire extinguisher.

im sure the boys at vforce would put one or two cars in


Guy_H - November 17th, 2008 at 10:31 AM

Sounds good as long as Golfs are allowed :starhit:


speedster356 - November 17th, 2008 at 10:41 AM

Yeah, sounds good Steve.


1303Steve - November 17th, 2008 at 01:18 PM

Hi

Guy of course the water cooled brigade are invited. At last years VW Nationals car show, 1/2 the entires were water cooled cars and many of them would hopefully be keen to run.

Peter it was taken as a given that you would run, it will actually be really good to have all the VW racers in one place.

how is this going to work ? will there be catorgories as in beetles / kombis etc or engine size ?
i would consider having ago at this in my ute but as its only a 1679 with a 34 pict 3 i dont think it will be very entertaining to watch , if there were some other kombis running with small engines now then it would be interesting and could be a good laugh

Hi

Thanks for the photo.

The classes will be along CAMS guidelines, so no special classes for different model VWs, we can't cater for every model but if you have run you will have ball and I guarantee that even a "ute but as its only a 1679 with a 34 pict 3" can get out of shape.

The cars will however go out in groups with approximately the same speed, so slower cars with slower cars etc

Craig Torrens - November 17th, 2008 at 06:20 PM

so I can run a Lancer EVO then :lol:


hellbugged - November 17th, 2008 at 06:22 PM

only if you like loosing Craig;)


Craig Torrens - November 17th, 2008 at 06:32 PM

you might know but do you still have one that isn't to pretty to drive ?


amazeer - November 17th, 2008 at 08:44 PM

I'll be in it Steve. I'm driving your car.

I dont know first hand how it works, but you can run at Wakefield under AASA permit and licences. Would be cheaper.


vassy66T1 - November 18th, 2008 at 06:21 AM

I'd love to think that my 54 Beetle will be on the track by then. (note to self: late nights and weekends must be happening)
If it is I will make the trip ... sounds fantastic!!

LOL.........yeah right, maybe for the 2014 supersprint ! hehehe


1303Steve - November 18th, 2008 at 11:18 AM

Hi Craig

You have to have a dream, only a few things to do before paint now.

So are you going to have a run, if all you have got is an EVO, I guess that will have to do?

Is there nothing better in the museum?

Or are you hill climb guys reluctant to run with another car near you?:lol:
