Sydney Vw Showdown Saturday June 29th CANCELLED DUE TO RAIN
Hi All,
Shall we try again?
Saturday June 29th is our new date to go racing at Sydney. The programme remains largely the same, although with the event now in the middle of
winter, some adjustments to the racing programme may happen to allow racing on the track at the optimum warmer hours.
All paperwork and money is rolled over to the new date, and you only have to email me with changes to crew or car before June 21st.
The website is now open and accepting new entries. I know there were a few drag racers who could not attend the old February date, so now is your
chance to get back to the track. New entries close June 21st. I'd like to think it possible we could hit the magic 100 mark, which is easily
achievable if all the VW drag cars in the country came out to play. So if you know of any hiding in places such as, I don't know, Orange or Tamworth
or Logan, that haven't made the list yet, please give them a polite rev and remind them of what it means to have their own drag racing series.
For new entrants not familiar with the procedure for the day, your tickets and racing information will be waiting for you at the track. All you need
to do is turn up when the gates open and you will be directed inside to the pit area where I will need you to make your way over to the VWMA tent to
collect all your gear and any final information.
At the Nationals you would have already seen Wayne Penrose's new dragster import from the States. This along with another couple of new cars will
certainly spice up the competition.
The series also welcomes on board Hyper Race Fuels. Lou Guevara, a VW circuit and drag racer, has recently started this business which offers a range
of blended race fuels ranging from 100 RON to 130 RON as well as Methanol. Lou will be at Sydney to talk with everyone about the new venture.
The Pizza Cruise is on again on Friday night, so please make this another must do over your racing weekend. The track is helping with this cruise by
making the closing time for the gates on Friday night later to allow teams staying at the track to attend.
More updates to follow.
Cheers

That is good news that the schedule will be slightly changed to keep us all safe from the track going cold.
This was a big concern to me, especially considering how much the track changed last year after the cruise/parade.
You just have to think if every VW dropped just a couple of drips of oil on the lap up, and back, during the parade,
it would equate to a nice oil slick of probably a couple of litres...right before the finals.
I am looking forward to this event! Only a few weeks to go!

Sticking neck out? Doesn't apply to you Marcus. All good.
The cruise after the finals is a good suggestion and more likely to happen in June with the finals running earlier.
The cooler weather will at least make all the bitumen less ferocious in the pits during the middle of the day, although staying at the track may
require an extra blanket or two....

Hi All,
If you were woken by screams and gnashing of teeth this morning, that was probably me being dragged further into social media. No, not FarceBook, but
a twitter account.
Now before you all get too excited, it will come as a disappointment to most to learn that I will not be tweeting on a daily basis about what I had
for breakfast, how the guinea pigs are going, or what my coffee tastes like (I can hear a collective sigh of relief).
The account is strictly for the VWMA events, more specifically to use as a way of mass communicating changes to the event during the week or two
beforehand. This was brought about by the February postponement - a tweet is quick and accessible to all.
Of course I understand if you do not want to be a part of a world where Shane Warne tells you how much his face lift is sagging or Richard Branson
tweeting about the new pool he has just filled with gold bullion, but it will make it easier for me to send out important last minute bulletins rather
than just relying on phone, email or forum updates.
The account is Mr Ed@EdVWMA
I have posted a test tweet today (no, it was not about what toothpaste I used this morning....)
Cheers
Craig

I hope you checked how many entrants actually have a Twitter account. I know my phone doesn't even do it so let me be the first to say, if there is
any last minute changes, please call.

Hi All,
Two weeks until the VWMA Showdown Drags at Sydney on June 29th.
New entries must be in by this Friday the 21st June. Entries from February are rolled over to the new date. Late entries will be accepted at the gate,
but the price is $130 and extra crew must pay the normal gate price of $20 per adult. It pays to get in by the close off date. Pass the word around to
those considering competing, but have not done the paperwork. Hop online - http://www.vwma.net.au - to register.
I have received some notification by drivers of changes, so if things have changed since February to the car or crew, please email me asap.
The Flat 4 Club of Sydney will be running the Show'n'Shine and I am eternally grateful for their support as this helps with the running of the
day.
Other than that, all is progressing well, and I Iook forward to seeing one of the biggest and best field of VW drag racers do battle on the 1/4
mile.
Cheers

Hi All,
Pre-paid entries are now closed for the VW Showdown this Saturday 29th June. Late entries will be accepted at the gate ($130 driver, crew $20 per
person).
If you are arriving on Friday I can be found at the track for you to collect your tickets and other information. I will be at the track until
approximately 6pm, at which time I will be heading off to the Pizza cruise. At Dino's Pizza I will still be able to issue the pre-paid tickets, so
you can catch me there if you missed me at the track. Failing that you will need to collect them from the front gate on Saturday morning. Your ticket
is needed at scrutineering - no ticket, no racing. Simples!!
92 cars have entered for the day with another batch of new cars and fresh faces. The cutoff for the Top VW Shootout is 11 seconds flat - a
challenging, but achievable bench mark for the quicker cars.
The programme is the same as February, but we'll bring everything forward by an hour to conduct all the racing before nightfall. The twilight cruise
will be after the finals.
Other than that, have a safe trip and see you on the track.
Cheers

WISD VWMA Drags Friday 28th June Night Cruise upto Dino's Pizza
Hi all,
It's on again Pizza Cruise to Dino's Pizza
We are starting at the ShelI servo on the Great Western Highway Eastern Creek (corner of the road out from WSID ) meeting around 6pm & departing
about 20 mins later, cruising up the highway , left onto wallgrove road , right onto the M4, then up to Mulgoa rd exit, off to the left & into
Glenmore Park Town Centre.
There is plenty of parking on the paved court yard.
If you want any further info, just post on here & it will be answered..
Hey All, due to the Pizza shop being extremely busy between 6pm and 8pm due to Friday night Football, I'm thinking we may detour the cruise to the
Penrith Slot car track for about an hour where they have a Drag track as well a couple of circuit tracks we can use,cost to use tracks and cars is
about $8 per hour, if you have your own Slot Cars you are more than welcome to bring them along. I hope this suits all in attendance..
Cheer Dino
Any queries please call me on 0416008524
The thread for the WSID VW drags in June

or this is one on here
http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=99781
Please note:Glenmore Park Town Centre is an alcohol free zone and no Alcohol is to be consumed outside of the Pizza shop..
if it looks like crap smells like crap then guess what!!!!!
