Hi All,
Entries for the weekend are beginning to stack up nicely, but I would appreciate those who are intending to compete to enter sooner than later, if
only for the sake of my stress levels (the doctor always told me drag racing was bad for my health….). The PDF print version of the entry form is
now available if the online process is not an option. Please remember that the dinner on the Saturday evening must be pre-booked with your entry if
your are wishing to attend - I unfortunately had to turn people away last year as the dinner is catered on a pre-booked number of people.
I hope all car preparations are going well. I know that Rose Merrett, Rodney Penrose and Aaron Roberts have dyno sessions completed or underway, and
that the Vintage VeeDub car had a successful test'n'tune last week. Barry Roberts also makes his return to the drivers seat at the wheel of his
subaru motivated camper after hip surgery sidelined him last year. Apparently, he has plans to upset a certain black rotary powered bus….
The VWMA drag buggy has had modifications to the suspension in an attempt to tame the beast from wheel standing through second gear - entertainment
for the crowd, but time wasted waving at the sky! Stan Pobjoy is planning to run his open wheeler this year, and we welcome Simon Thompson from WA
competing for the first time at a VWMA round behind the wheel of the Wayne Penrose blue sports sedan. The Loco Gringos from Victoria have been hard at
it on the track with four cars planning to make the trip up, while a rumoured three others may also be Qld bound.
After the Sydney event, Chris Bolton leads the drivers points championship, and his efforts along with the record number of entrants, means that NSW
is well ahead to claim the State Of Origin trophy away from Qld. This could be the first time since the inception of the series that the trophy heads
south, and the early list of entries for Warwick would suggest this to be a real possibility!
See you on the track
Cheers

This gonna be a massive weekend.... So looking forward to catching up with you all, but I would like to expressly thank Wayne Penrose for offering my
the opportunity drive his Sports Sedan.... It is an amazingly generous offer, and one hope to take full advantage off.... I'd also like to thank Ben
Robinson for being my taxi to and from Brizzy airport too, plus his generous supply of camping gear for the duration.... You guys rock!
Catch you all there!
Simon

Hi All,
This is the last week to enter VW Warwick with entries closing this Friday September 21st. The magic number of entries to chase is 94, set by Sydney
in February. As of today I have 50 VWs racing - fair slice to go, but then again, this is the mad rush week to send through entries.
This year a professional video will be created by Circleworks Sports Media, run by Brian White. VWMA readers will be familiar with Brian's excellent
feature and show photos in each issue, and the video will be just as spectacular. It will cover the three days of action, and aside from the on-track
footage, there will be coverage of the pit action, street parade and display on Saturday morning, interviews, tech and race tips, and on board
footage. The video will be available as both an online download and in hard copy by November 1st when the next issue of VWMA will be released. I know
Brian's work and dedication to the VW cause, and I'm very pleased to be working with him on such a great product.
A reminder again that all pre-paid gate passes and other driver/crew essentials will be waiting for you at the track. The VWMA office will be open all
day Friday near the track tower for those arriving early, and I encourage everyone to get your paperwork done first thing when you arrive.
See you on the track
Cheers
Craig Hughes

Hi All,
Entries are now closed for VW Warwick 2012 (email me today if you've only just crawled out from under your car and would still like to race) and a
healthy field of 82 will line-up for the 1/8th mile. It's another quality field with some genuine contenders for the 5 second goal.
Gates for competitors are open Thursday and Friday, and the VWMA office will be set-up by late morning Friday near the control tower for drivers and
crew to collect their paperwork and passes.
The weather at Warwick always throws some surprises our way (memories of last year's storm come creeping back) so it is strongly advised to be
prepared and secure all tents and tarps and wayward items. The weather may again be unsettled so a word to the wise.
Other than that, I wish all a safe journey and see you on the track.
Cheers
Craig Hughes
