Hi all

I am gauging interest from those wishing to have a run at Willowbank on a saturday night before Christmas. I know of a few who are keen so thought I would throw ii out there wih the following date..

DATE - Saturday 20th december

If you are keen then post which date you like and we will go from there. Be good to have something like 10 odd Volksy's to get out there and run eachother!

Cheers Brennden

22nd Nov or sooner for me

Aww man - I can't make either of those dates !!!

We might have a talk, about this at gold coast show . Rod can't make any of those dates but 20th Dec is ok ,I my self don't care when even after christmas to 27th Dec too .
Dangerous what are your thoughts on this and Stanly too .
We might even go to wednesday night event too .

Open to ideas everyone but thought saturday would be better as no traffic on Ipswich Mwy and don't have to rush after work!!

Just make it SOON

or I'll be out there without ya's

When I said Wednesday night I mean Rod and I . The 22sec he has to be at farm and 13th he is away oversea's

What about this Sat, after the manx show?

I'm easy as i'm close by, however I need time to organise a tow car and trailer (until mine is built)
Just don't make it a Saturday when the Street Series is on or you'll spend most of the night in the staging lanes waiting.

Yeah good point Stanley give the nights a miss when Street series is on.

I am cool for any Wednesday night.
Saturday nights are out for me unless long term planning.

I wont be running until my new pushrods are made,
and I have not even ordered the tubing yet.
Most likely early next year.

But always keen to know if you guys are running and I will try to make it up there.

OK, dumb question time - what's the requirements (car and driver) for running in a T&T at Willowbank ???

My drag racing experience is basically zero... just Warwick last year, and then crew for Wally at Jamboree this year...

helmet, shoes, long pants and a flanno


To run at these events you needRequirements for a carhelmet to Australian Standards
long sleeve shirt
long pants
covered shoes
Requirements for a bikehelmet to Australian standards
leather jacket or equivalent
long pants
boots & gloves
Special note:Cars can not run quicker than 11.00 sec
Bikes can not run quicker than 10.00 sec
To run quicker than these you will need an ANDRA licence
Cost$38 to race, admits the entrant and one other.
Spectators $19 adults, $17 students with ID
Children 13 & under are free

So this sat no good?
I dont mind wed if we get more passes, as long as we have a few days notice.

OK, cool - thanks for the info Stanley - meet those requirements no worries, and no WAY will Jezebel get anywhere near 11.00 down the quarter !!!

I'd be keen for most any Wed night...

HEY MATT GET OUT THOSE NAPKINS FROM WARICK
& DO SOME OF THOSE ADJUSTMENTS YOU STOLE FROM US
HOPE YOU GUYS HAVE FUN.
SYDNEY SUX NO TEST & TUNES FOR US
THE JUNKA STILL HASN'T COME OFF THE
TRAILER FROM WARICK.
I SPOSE WE SHOULD GET ON TO THAT

I could be up for a wens night, better than weekends for me.

STOCK, you know all the best shit was first designed on a napkin, and I dont mean the type Brad wears

You guys better pull it out and get that car ready, at this rate you'll end up bust'n your a.. for Warwick 09, never mind Portland, or just bring her up here, I'll play....

What's Wed next sound like, or too close to GC show?

Well the idea is try to get all the volkys mate's together for a lazy chat or food (christmas cheers) and then a few runs together at track . For Me a Saturday is best for a lazy get together (don't need to rush ). A Sat ,Test & Tune is the best more time and track opens a little earlier .Plus it tides you out for work next day if it's a Wed !
No people , Rod , Matt,Stanley,Myself ,sides ,bix , maybe Troy ,or Dave B.
For me and rod 20th Dec ?

yeah pete, all going well at the dyno this week coming, i would love to take the car out for a spin. 20th is good for me its the start of three weeks holidays

i'm in for the 20th....should have my decklid on by then too

So do we have the general consensus that the 20th is go? I'll edit thread title if this is agreed apon.

sounds good to me, gives people at bit more time to organize things

Everyone still on for this next saturday? (weather permitting of course)

Hey Wes do you want to take the bike out for a spin again? I'd like to have a run and as my bug is years off this is my only option

Stephen

I will be there!! Unsure if Troy's car will be a starter but he may take his bike up for a squirt.

Well who is coming ? Rods new motor is in , a couple small jobs to do(in blue car ) .All so new slicks to fit to erco's .
I have some maintance to do but so far all looks great (oil clean)
People coming alone ,What will we do ? We could eat there or maybe all meet at Mc Donalds befor willowbank ( eat ,chat ) .
This is a Fun event, for us ,vw nuts to get together befor Christmas .

Hope you guys have a great day/night out at willowbank - I would love to be there but we are having Christmas day early with my in-laws as they are going away, so I can't make it. Will be looking forward to pics/info so hopefully someone not racing can get some good shots!
All the best and merry christmas to everyone, stay safe.

Not sure, workshop now busy with the usual 'out before christmas' jobs. I also ordered some parts from Chinese Bullshit about a month ago, recieved a confirmation that the order had been processed and slugged with a USD$160.00 freight charge, and now after not recieving or hearing anything, the order seems to have never existed, even on my credit card.....what the!!
AND my new panel tow car doesn't have a tow bar yet.....oh the trials and tribulations.

Don't feel too bad Matt, CB Perf charged me US$320 for freight for a box of bugger all bits (and got hit with customs duty, GST blah blah).....but at least it got here, hopefully your order can be found and delivered!
