VW Sydney Showdown 2012
VWMA Editor - January 18th, 2012 at 07:48 AM
Hi All,
The online registration for the VW Sydney Showdown 2012 on February 25th is now open at http://www.vwma.net.au
The 'honour'(?) of first entry is shared between Rose Merrett and Steve Craven. They can fight over the title....
Ian&Rose Automotive have also thrown $300 into the race kitty for the first competitor to cut a perfect light. Failing that the prize pool will be
divided into 3 x$100 and awarded to the 3 best lights of the day. Thanks Rose and Ian.
On the website you will have also noticed the $5000 cash incentive from Vintage VeeDub Supplies. The ET is quick, but they are recording those times
in the US and Europe.
More soon.
Cheers
Craig

Better to have tennis balls than tennis elbow.
Or perhaps not.

With the VWs already on that list and the amount of Veedubs in NSW .this should be a good show ,
there is also the crew from custom Bugs and Buses from Penrith I think they have about 6 veedubs.
and
I have also seen that Steve Mullers, Ratmuller racing team was building up some vw for atempting a land speed record that may need some test
runs.
vw54 - February 2nd, 2012 at 04:51 PM
