I'll be there.

Come on no excuses, it's only another 70klm more than what we travel to get there you drive your vw's further than that. :lol::lol:

We just want to know who's coming and there's July as well.

It would be good to see a lot me vw's there as there was only 2 of us there on the weekend. But we sure did suprize some V8 guys especialy with Buz as they think they have it won when they look at him but I'm gone by the time they take off.
:lol::lol:
They told me not to embarass them to much when I'm out there having fun.:lol::lol:

You would have around 8 qualifying runs to get your quickest time.

And than you get another 3 knock out runs in the dial in.
So that's pleanty of runs to do a quick time.

Silly?????....oh I'd say ... bring it on dude !!!!


coletrickle - March 22nd, 2010 at 09:32 PM

Ian I'll be there in may barring any complications with my little engine.I would like to see the volksies run heads up in qualifying (8 runs you say)and winners keep racing winners til theres only 1 left street style!I'll spring for a burger dinner for the winner if you go that way and you can still have a trophy for the car that has quickest time in qualifying.So some one could get a trophy some one a burger or maybe someone gets both!


vw54 - March 23rd, 2010 at 06:14 AM

Ian great idea but still complicated someone will winge, As Rose says it better fun race and beating the V8 and 6 cyclinder boys giving them a taste of Pure VW

dangerous - March 23rd, 2010 at 11:13 AM

i'll be there ian.


hellbugged - March 23rd, 2010 at 11:38 AM

i'll aim for July


ian.mezz - March 23rd, 2010 at 11:47 AM

Tamworth Drag Association runs the Gunnedah Drags. That run over two days Sat & Sun and there are some cheap motel in town as well as a caravan park.

I think you can also sleep outside the track in the car park area you would just have to ask them.

We would be racing amongst all the other cars as they normally only have 3 classes eg. Bikes, cars & junior dragsters

Then on Sun after 3 runs the cars get put into 4 time categories for the finals. It’s worked out on times. Then its knock out on dial ins.
all races count for the quickest vw time .
so if your first run on the Saturday morning is the quickest over the weekend you ll be number 1 vw and still have a chance to take out the event win in the Sunday finals as well




Heaps of fun with a relaxed atmosphere.
