This movie is probably more suited to the circuit race section , but I am going to list other movies here also . If you want them removed , just let me know .
This was the very first movie my son Dean made for me , back in 2002 when he was just 9 years old .

This was the year that the VW nationals drags left Oran Park raceway and was held at WSID . Full quarter mile drag racing for the first time. (400mtrs)
My son Dean made this video for me in 2004 at age 12yrs . I was digging through my archives and have found a heap of older footage
here is the 2004 VW nats vid for your viewing pleasure . You will have to excuse all the pics of chevys etc , as this was made back in the days before Dean saw the light . lol .

in 2006 at age 14, Dean created another movie for me showing WPVWs' transition from the injected n/a sports sedan to the turbo oval .
You will probably get sick of the same music but Dean was very much into Queen back then and he really admired my achievements . He was there at every single race meeting with me , to help and support me . I get a great thrill in doing the same for him now.....

racing at Eastern Creek Raceway in 1996 against another V8 ford . In this video Trent my apprentice applies the front brake tap and proceeds to do a crowd pleasing burnout , starting off in 2nd gear , shifting to 3rd and then shifting again to 4th . He lines up against the V8 ford and runs our very first 12 sec pass with a 12.8 @ 101mph on 165 kumho street tyres (stock axles)

Wayne you've posted some ripper videos, thanks heaps.

Your son's first vid, and that skid of Trent's....wow.


Stanley - October 16th, 2010 at 01:52 PM

Top stuff Wayne.....:tu:

the vid of Horace was cool. Looked like a Sunday drive compared to some of the other cars getting getting a bit sideways. How many guards did you go through.

you are very welcome . Dave has also been asking me for the past couple of years to find this footage .
Over the past 2 nights I have been through heaps of old footage and unfortunately a lot of it I cant save , but what I can save I am currently making small vids and listing them on youtube and placing all the links here for everyone to enjoy .
I currently have on disc 44 small vids from 1988 VW drags at Canberra , 2002 Valla racing , 1996 eastern creek drags , 1997 oran park drags , 1991 Goulburn speedway when I drove the supercharged super-sedan against the V8's , 1992 Newcastle motordrome speedway , 2008 valla racing , 1994 Goulburn speedway when I drove a 71 superbug , and will try to list a couple each day.....

In 1991 I decided to try speedway racing with a VW full chassis super-sedan . It was powered by a mid-mounted 2.4litre (88x92) type-1 methanol injected supercharged engine .
To be honest , this car had much more potential than I could get from it ..... mortgage , not long married , baby on the way , and opened new business .... just a plain lack of funds was available for the race car .

in 1989 , brother Rod decided to purchase a formula vee for racing . He removed the 1200 engine and fitted a 2276cc twin webber engine that I had built for him .
He took it to Huntley hillclimb and was very fast on slicks , until one day the vee ended up-side-down with him in it after a rear suspension mounting broke . Fortunatley Rod was not injured , but the same could not be said for the vee.....

THIS WOULD HAVE TO BE MY MOST FAVOURITE VW MOTORSPORT VIDEO , racing at Newcastle motordrome for the TOOHEYS 100LAP ENDURO in 1992 .
before the main 100 lap race we had to go through 5 qualifying heats ....this is one of those heats .
Hope you enjoy watching this vid as much as I do ....

I have had a great time over the years despite a few individuals that have really tried to make things very hard for me (no need for names , they know who they are) , but it has always been my incredible passion for my VW's that has got me through it .
I have got some great footage of stan at Valla in the injected open-wheeler and will try to put it up tomorrow . Not too sure about craig though , he has never really done anything that impresses me .... LOL . only kidding craig !!I have only been through a small portion of my videos and will look for more on craig .
I also have a lot of footage of the Jo Smiths 76 green bug and the original Hellbug that Jeff Unwin drove but it is buggered . I will put up a couple of samples and will replace them if I can find a better copy . I used to copy the same footage twice incase this happened , but 20 years ago didnt realise that all the tapes would deteriorate .
I havent even looked at my Hillclimb championships videos yet , so will try to do that tonight... sleep is so overrated.
