My first but not my last VALLA
Well completed my first Valla. Tired and grumpy when home but a good night sleep will fix the alcohol consumed.
Thanks to all of those people that organise this event, I had a blast. I can see why it has gone so many years.
Also it was great to put names to faces and meet many of the people I chat with on this site.
Ohh and how was that weather

Ok Me N the Missus + grots were 1st timers and we had a blast except for the bloody kids whinging nearer to the end of the day. Just kids, oh and the
end straw for me was when the youngest 2 and a bit went walkabout at the end of the day went AWOL for 15 minutes looking for him and that did it for
me Right everyone in the Kombi's.
Apart from that we will all be back better prepared next time.
Oh yeh none of the atached pics are my cars just rather a snapshot of others i have many more.
my 2nd youngest standing near the red/black baja.

the less said about that car the better I say. he certainly wasn't making too many friends in the pits with his driving antics and throwing dirt and

Thanks a lot daimo. I had a blast at the track even though shitting myself. First time ever on any track. Better make sure I get some track practice
and learn how to drive especially as there are many more mods due on the car before next Valla.
Hey do you know if there was anyone at all who would have got some track footage. Would love to have sat on the hill and watched myself go around

Car looked great Andrew, I stopped on the hill as I was leaving and watched you hammer around the track. Very nice! That a 2.5? the announcer
mentioned that it was?
Spyder-WISD 07-09-05 11.6s @ 125 MPH
Speedster-WISD Nats 05 14.4s @ 89 MPH

Dam it!!!!!!!! I could have gone, i have my spare gearbox in & working fine on thrusday but i figured that i need it to last a at least few
weeks, till the new Albins gears & the lockrite diff arrives, so i played it safe & just went for a gork at the Mt cotton hill Climb
instead,,,, but it certainly looks like it was a great weekend,,, i know i would have been tempted to fang around the race track tho so in one sense
i`m glad i didn`t go,,, the tow truck charge back to Brisbane after blowing yet another gearbox would have been a killer :-)
ah well,,, 2 years time i might make it again, i`ve only ever been once & it seems like a life time ago.

I wish Pete, yeah someone else mentioned that to me, its only a 2.0. I saw the speedster sitting at the caravan park and it just didnt click it was
yours as i would have liked to introduced myself and had a good squiz at your car. The vehicle you had at Valla is the VW powered or Suby?

great weekend as always , missed the very first (not by choice but birth lol) will never miss one again
shame the night life was ruined this year by fire bans and cops in the park
there is normally ppl everywhere till around 5 am each night just roaming fire to fire , starting up random drunken convo's or cruising around the
park in there cars at 5kph (with the exception of last year due to rain)
its more social event then car show
i know there is still ppl out there who only go to car shows to bitch about this judge or that trophy , the peoples choice judging has solved alot of
that (although you will never shut the trainer queens up completely :P)
ps. ppl who left sunday arvo this year missed the funniest night of the weekend for night life haha

The judging fomat over the last two Vallas has taken the prestige from this event its different strokes for different folks my thing is SHOW CARS
others is socializing and caching up with old freinds while others are just there for the Volkswagen seen ,Its a big effort to prepere a car something
that is lost on many people , PS I DROVE to Valla and home as I do every show I attend.

sorry , that was not ment to offend billet
im no stranger to the prep that goes into getting a car ready for a show
i love show cars , but no matter how nice or immaculate a car is i will never drive it somewhere to be judged (you love your car who cares if xyz
likes it / hates it) all judging gets is ppl pissed off about the fact they missed out or that "joe blow" won
the only trophy i have ever really liked seeing awarded at valla is peoples choice
love the fact that you are not afraid to drive your car the distance , i dont know if i would have the patience to polish all that after the trip ! |
