The Red Cheif Motel mention that you are going to the drags and they give you a discount. We have stayed there a few times before but last time it was a bit noisey as they had a group of bowlers staying there partying all night.

I'll shout any vw entant that turns up a muffin & coffee at maccas Sun morning

I will get the Two trophy for the winning vw competitors

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.
