VWMA Drag Day
Given that this is the Dragracing part of Aussieveedubbers I thought we might start up a post of who is going to come along
to the event, and who might come up a week early and run the Jamboree Import meeting too.
I have every intention of running both events, but being that I will be unemployed by then, the dollars will decide.
I would encourage everyone to run there cars at either event to get the Volksies the exposure that they deserve.

It is at Warwick raceway, but would love to see as many interstaters as possible.
Come for a holiday and see the Jamboree too!

I should be there with my 1916 powered Speedster. I'd love to bring the Spyder as well but it's not eligable. We'll be travelling in convoy I think
from Syd.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the interest shown so far. An event like this would be good to have on the calender every year, and not just in Queensland, so here's
hoping all the talk about having a Volkswagen only motorsport event translates into people actually rocking up.
There is a camping area on site in a shady, relatively quiet (it is a drag track after all) spot, well away from any walk through pedestrian or
vehicle travel. Or you can choose to camp with your pit area if you are racing.
Just a reminder - there is a cut off date of 1st September for competitors. This assists me in planning and running the event smoothly. You can turn
up on the day to race, but the cost will be an additional $30. Please check the website for all the details
http://www.vwma.net.au
Cheers
Craig

After some discussions this week with owner/drivers wishing to compete in VW Specials, a new category has been entered.
VW Specials - Must be either VW Powered and/or more than 50% VW mechanicals and chassis.
For example, a kit car running a VW motor, or an open wheeler such as Stan Pobjoy's and Peter Gummley, and any Formula Vees that way inclined to
strip race. If in doubt, please call me first before filling in the entry form.

Quote Dave Becker.... What happen to that mad early 60's ratter that you guys built back in 91-92?.... That was nuts!.....
I had almost fogotten that thing, the body went to the tip, the floorpan was sold to someone??, wheels and tyres did the rounds and I think Rod
Penrose ended up with them, engine got parted out, I think Carbo still has the heads, crank & rods, rockers, 52 IDA's were sold to a couple of rotary
guys.
I have attached some photos of it, spindle mount front wheels, nice and light!!. 1916cc engine that spun to 9000rpm, close ratio gearbox, don't
remember what it ran over the 1/8, I do remember it broke a couple of Pauter rocker arms.
