Good to see that everyone had fun and the weather held out, But seriously drag racing VW's is like a children's foot race at the olympics, cute, but
hardly exciting. Top Fuelers for me
Keeping it real !

Yep, that's why I've been doing it for 34 years, but sitting in the car, I can't see them straining their necks to see the finish line or hear the
crowd response when my VW beats a much larger capacity car. If it's that uncompetitive and uninteresting, why don't the V8's I race laugh and
point When I come into the staging lanes?? - to each his own- H

Nice pics Rose. Where's the video from the camera on the back of your car when I raced you? . I waived as I went past (just kidding). I really
enjoyed the days racing with you guys and the banter in the pits amongst the racers. It was one of the best days racing I have in a long time and I'm
sorry for tying to psych you out in the staging lanes.
Cheers

Hi
This is grass roots racing if we left the drag racing to only the elite classes where would the drivers come from that are going to drive the elite
cars?
If I'm not mistaken Gary Berg still holds the record for the ss/cc class that he raced his VW in, locals have been coming close, this class is open
to all sorts vehicles but a VW still holds the class record.
The racing on the weekend was bracket racing which truly is great fun no matter what your driving.
I actually prefer racing around corners but I was happy to get a 1/4 mile time for my car, I now have a baseline to improve on.
Steve

Silver you're an idiot, what you're doing is like walking into Harlem and saying you hate black people... And telling Henry to grow up?? The man is
the best ambassador for our sport we have, he's made more bogans look twice at a Vw than any of us! If you don't like Vw drag racing, get out of the
Vw drag racing section of the forum... Or join in, maybe you can make it more exciting?

People you're playing into his hands by feeding his self gratification in pushing peoples buttons and watching the fall out.
The way I look at it with a Volksy you get value for money...it's not over in 5secs.

Idiot, Troll, Wanker, sure I did not expect to get anything but a rise out of here, but still its an opinion, good, bad or otherwise,
"If you did not go don't comment"( expletive omitted) does that apply to all the other comments of non attendees or just the ones you don't agree
with
I only hope that others peoples comments are not treated equally.
Some of you showed class and read my comments for what they were a Stir. the others well ??????????
so I guess I am wrong, and see the point, that to those who enjoy it, even billy cart races are fun.
don't know what a troll is exactly…...
Keeping it real !

Steve and I had three goals for the weekends racing in our cars "Beetle Juice" and the "Grey Ghost".
1. That the rain holds out and we get to both race our cars after the 900kms drive up from Melbourne. DONE!
2. That at the end of the day we havent broken either car and they drive up on our trailers on thier own power. DONE!
3. That we have both have run an 11 second passes and done it side by side. We ran on our second qualifiers 12.1. & 11.9 missed it by that much!
(add the times togehter and dived them by two prehaps?)
Allways the next time. We enjoyed pitting with our fellow Victorians Barry and Darcey in the back Essex Bros Turbo Beetle. Track was very slippery by
the end of the day with lots of oil downs making for driving staight a little more difficult. Still heaps of fun. Congratulations to the class
winners as they worked so very hard and drove so very well with difficult track conditions to get the wins, they earnt it.
Thanks to Craig and the crew from Sydney for a great event again.
Cheers
Andrew |

Hi Rose,
Fantastic video. You so badly need a stage brake. You will pick up heaps of time on the launch because you can load the clutch up and rev the motor
up on to boost without creeping out of stage. Nice footwork all the same! Good racing young lady!
Ian make a note: Staging brake before next event.
