vw54 - April 6th, 2005 at 08:44 AM

Hi all avid Drag Racers

Well after much discussion, I’ve negotiated with John Baremans who is the manager of Drag Combat, to host our VW Nationals 2005 Drag racing event.

It will be on Sunday May 22nd at Western Sydney International Dragway

The VW Nationals is open to all Volkswagens, both air and water cooled, as long as the vehicle is a member of the Volkswagen Audi Group, and will cater for both Street and competition (ANDRA) vehicles.

There will be separate races run on the same day, consisting of 2 Brackets - Fastest 8 VWs, and All Volkswagens.

Note: Entrants are also welcome to run in the Drag Combat event if they choose providing they meet the criteria of entry. Entry forms and further info available from http://www.dragcombat.com. 

Please note that you can only entry one class.

Drag Combat caters for all makes and models of 4 cylinder and rotary-powered vehicles, includes a car show and shine, dealer trade shops and car club displays. It runs to ANDRA Sport Compact rules and classes.

Entry :- Car and Driver $55.00
Spectator $25.00

Please contact me directly for VW Nationals Entry Form.

Pre Entry is a MUST

Well Done Dave....
This is an excellent solution.
Really looking forward to this event.

Just got an email back from John Baremans. He has shown heaps of support for VW racing in the past and now. He appreciated the thanks I sent him.

I hope on the day all those that see him thank him for the support.


speedster356 - April 7th, 2005 at 05:21 PM

Yeah, lets ensure there's a big VW following, if any interstaters out of towners need accomodation info and the like, just post here and I'm sure we can make it a bit easier for them at this end.

VWMA Editor - April 18th, 2005 at 05:10 PM

I'll be attending the event to cover the story for Issue#7 of VWMA, and will also be pit crewing for Neil 'Wally' Penboss and his car BUGGER from Brisbane, after convincing him that this event is one not to miss.

Catch-up then.

Cheers
Craig

John I didnt expect your car to fit into that class. It can still run in the open class.

Are you coming along ??
