Ask Rose
2 bring a box down next time in the Esky yum yum
A very hot but enjoyable test and tune day was had by the VW guys at Gunnedah today.
Ian Mezz brought his WRX powered very stock two tone super, complete with cheese cutters. A few sniggers were herd in the crowd, but after his launch
and time was announced over the PA I,m sure i herd a few chins hit the ground, soooo funny.
Local lad Adam Kirkton was having a blast and is looking to post some consistent times tomorrow.
Fabes (Fabian Corio) made the trip up with his immaculate Inch Pincher and received many good comments about the presentation of the car.
He only managed two runs but i think his best time was 7.62 (Don,t quote me on that)
My little black Bettle ran 8.97, 8.84, 8.82 so i was happy with my times. Hosed a young lad in his late model SS commodore ute. He coundn,t get his
brain around the fact that his 200 and something kw ute could be beaten by a humble Beetle.
Were all looking forward to tomorrows racing and flying the flag for VW,s in motorsport.
Cheers Col
Sounds good Colin,
Thanks for flying the Volksy flag.
Any times AND SPEED from Ian's car?
The young bloke that has the subie in his bug from newy Josh that had the top dyno at our dyndo day was doing times between 8.510 & 8.783 at
140km/h
Ian's between 9.58 and 10.23 he drives like a scone gobbler
I should be up there to show him how to do it.
They said they are having heaps of fun and there's 5 bugs up there.

sounds like fun
did Ian have devonshire tea as well LOL
Any Pics and video's?
I hope someone got a video of Josh racing the Xr6 Typhoon!
The two cars in the finals
Josh best time in his Subaru powered street bug was 8.2100
Ians Subaru powered street bug was 9.339.
they had a ball and nothing broke
Thaks for the pics Rose.
So did Fabian win the final?
Any idea what his quickest time and speed was?
That goes for every Volksy.
Good on you guys for racing your volksies.
Hi
It looks like they all had fun, I bet Ian and the brown bug upset a few people on the track and also on the drive up.
What is it with bugs owners from newie? Are they all colour blind and and cant find mudguards that match the rest of the car?
Steve
They were trailer queens. Just in case something let go on the drag track lol. As Ian only has and old L bug box in his and Josh still has the 1300
original swing axle box in his.
But all good no breakages. They beat heaps of the V8's up there.
Next one in Jun or July I will be there in my 58 giving it to the V8 guys to test n tune for Warwick.
Fabion made the finals then broke out.
Hi
Well done anyway to the trailer queens, there would be nothing worse than being stuck in Gunnedah with a broken bug.
When do the results come out?
Steve
Sorry can,t remember results for all the bugs.
My car ran a best of weekend 8.79 at 129k,s which i was happy with, the strip has no prep as it is an airstrip.
My 60ft times were slow compared with Warwick, i ran 2.05 as opposed to 1.95-2.0 at Warwick.
But car ran strong and liked the low humidity and cool temps we had in the morning.
Downer of weekend was being told my near new as1698 stamped helmet no longer meets the new ANDRA specs. Must be now as/nzs1698.
Anybody now if this applys to CAMS events also?.
Cheers Col
