VW Sydney Showdown 2014


Hi All,

Westside Mufflers, X-Force and VWMA bring you all the action for the VW Sydney Showdown 2014 on February 22nd at the Sydney Dragway.

Entries are now open at http://www.vwma.net.au  along with the programme guide and off-track entertainment. Entries must be pre-paid by February 14th 2014. Entries will be accepted on the day, but the cost will be $150 paid to Sydney Dragway at the gate.

As per previous years, entrant gate passes and other information will be waiting at the front gate from 7am on the Saturday morning. No gate passes, etc will be posted out. Camping at the track is available to competitors and their registered crew from Friday 4pm until Sunday 9am at no additional charge. Some restrictions apply, particularly opening and closing times for the gate which VWMA has no control over. Please refer to the programme guide on the website.

The only change on the day depending on entrant numbers will be the aircooled class, which may be split into ET1 and ET2 based on qualifying times.

Spread the word. The future of the event is dependent on competitor numbers, and 100 plus entrants for 2014 will ensure continued racing.

See you on the track.

Cheers

Unfortunately, I have run out of time:(

I wont have Grover at the drags this year, just to many things to do and a few issues I was not planning on.

Hi All,

To clarify the question regarding entries from last year's washed out Sydney event. If you nominated to roll your entry to 2014, then both your paperwork and entry fee are all in order and there is nothing else to do but rock up on the day and enjoy.

The Friday night Pizza run is back on at Dino's Pizzas and the RC drag racing will happen during the lunch break between qualifying and racing.

Cheers
Craig

Team WPVW preparation


The WPVW dragster will be running with a newly sorted fuel system , that will actually allow me to drive past the half track point & aiming for a 8sec pass .... Chris Boltons engine is out to replace the clutch assembly & Chris hopes to better his 9.61@141.5mph .... Ben Ford has the engine out of his supercharged bug for a full strip down / check over & fabricate a new supercharger manifold , Ben is hoping to better his 9.90@134mph ....

and we almost decided to stop work on all of our cars when we heard that Andrew Makin was making the trip back up from Melbourne to drive the WPVW sports sedan , due to his track record of making appearances at previous events & bringing wash-out weather with him .... lol

Hi All,

Less than two weeks until the Sydney drags and only until this Friday 14th February for the early bird cut-off entry fee of $110. Late entries must pay at the gate $150. Please spread the word.

The programme for the day is up at http://www.vwma.net.au  and on the Facebook Link. As much as possible the event will run to the times listed, so it's very important to listen for your call to the staging lanes and get scrutineering finished quickly. Your gate pass is also your scrutineering pass, so please ensure you have that in with the rest of your gear. A reminder that gate passes, etc can be collected from me on Friday from 4pm - 6pm and then from the gate starting at 7am. If you collect from the gate please make sure you still visit the VWMA tent to receive your driver's goodies bag courtesy of Volkswagen Genuine Parts.

On the programme you will notice cash incentives from Club VeeDub Sydney (Best Reaction Time) and Vintage VeeDub Supplies (8.99 second pass - conditions apply), and the trade area will have a display from Volkswagen Genuine Parts and X-Force. There will also be an RC drag competition near the VWMA tent at lunchtime, so bring along the small drag cars.

On Friday night Dinos' Pizza has the cruise and show'nshine in the shopping centre forecourt. This is a nice casual evening before the noise begins, so please make the effort to attend. It's akin to Warwick's street parade and static display before the racing.

The Flat Four Club of Sydney will be hosting the show'n'shine in the pit area which runs all day (free once you have paid your gate fee to the track), and the highlight for spectators is the twilight cruise before the finals, where anyone with a VeeDub can cruise up and down the drag track for a couple of circuits under lights and with music piped over the PA. Very Cool!

See you on the track!

Cheers

Thanks Craig for another great event. Weather held out, it even got a little to hot. As usual there were some hold ups in the racing schedule due to mishaps, but in all some good results and close finals, well done all that took the chance to enter a attend after two rainouts last year.



Now... what was I doing again :crazy: :crazy:

I had a great time also, thanks Craig. I wasnt that keen on going to be honest, I only entered the rainout one on late impulse. But after 2 runs I was making a victory speech. 2 wins, within 0.05 of my dial in, an .009 reaction time. And then either the track got faster or I drove better cos I was doing big lift offs... not quite enough on the fourth run.

The guy on the gate saw my 16.85 dial in and couldnt believe it was quicker than his commodore (17s). He must have had kittens when the golf Rs started rolling out.

Hi

I had a great time, need a bigger turbo or less weight.

I just checked Cackling Pipes website and he doesn't have any photos up yet.
