Line up change for the bands... Satellite V will now be playing on Saturday night.
This event, even when by invitation, always gets plenty of press coverage.
Several VWs have run in the past, with Henry Spicak making it to the finals last year. Great event for early VWs to mix it up and good potential to
get more dakdaks in print now that this is a major two day event!
Don't forget, the way we run the day, even if you get knocked out in eliminations you can still run all day as we have grudge racing between
competition rounds in the second half of the day.

Awesome! Don't forget that entry includes driver and 5 others for the whole weekend!
Pits are also allocated for both days, so race Saturday and don't leave til Sunday arvo.
Several Top Doorslammers (appropriate pre-75 body styles) have entered along with nitro burning FEDs and a 5 second funny car!
We should also have a very special raffle prize to announce next week!

Well, as most know already, the buggy did not go to Portland but stayed with customs in a nice warm quarantine area. All's good now, though, and Rod
and I will begin the task of getting it ready for the weekend. We're confident there should not be too much difficulty with the tech inspection and
we're hopeful of at least making a few test'n'tune passes on the first day. As the buggy is pretty light, we're going to start with a 1916cc
engine and work out the best combo from there. Should be good fun!

from how I read the entry form you have to allocate a time that you will be running either 11 sec and slower only on Sat and faster cars on Sun 10.99
sec and quicker.
It's on the top of the entry form.
So Craig maybe you should ring them and make sure that you are able to run on the Sat.
Let us know as I'm confused if everyone ran on Sat 200cars the slower cars wouldn't get many passes.

No cars faster than 11sec will run on Saturday.
We are limiting maximum entry numbers on both days as even though the event has grown, it is still an event "for the racers".
As fast as you can turn the car around and get back into the staging lanes you will get another run.

You've got until the 18th. If it makes you feel any better, I still have to get a tech on the buggy and I won't have a chance to test until the day.
Short wheel base car on the 1/4... never driven it ... mmm... that could be fun, sort of.
Lawn bowls? That's a novel excuse. Synthetic or grass? Indoors or outdoors?

Hey Matt, It's looking like a very well supported event judging by the amount of entries on the Sydney Dragway website!!
What are the chances of the VW's pitting together? - That is, if each of the VW entrants choose to
Also, do you know when will the entry list (from mail -ins etc.) will merge with the current Sydney Dragway on-line entry list?

I'll only pit near Henry if his car is presentable and all the stone chips from the Portland trip are painted.

Lawn beers & a bit of outdoor bowling I think Craig .....
My entry has been received for the WPVW turbo oval , but they have not read my entry correctly and put me in the 11.00-12.99 bracket on the entry list
. I have emailed Sydney Dragway and they are going to fix this and put me in the 9.00-10.99 bracket for sunday . Really looking forward to running the
oval against some of the front engine dragsters .... should be fun !!
