  • QLD VW Warwick - last week for rego!!

    Hi All,

    Entries for VW Warwick 2011 are now closed and the field is an impressive 79 cars and drivers. This equals the 2009 record field which had 84 drivers and 79 cars (double entries for qualifying). This weekend certainly showcases the best VW drag racers and cars this country has on offer.

    David O'Connor (Shrapnel) is traveling up from Adelaide to defend his points lead in the 2011 series. Brad Young (Junka) is hoping to turn the tables. Rohan Keylock will be backing up his 2010 Warwick victory.

    After VW Portland the points table is as follows:

    1. David O'Connor - 190
    2. Courtney Hawker - 175
    3. Brad Young - 155
    3. Rose Merrett - 155
    4. Mike Waldron - 100
    5. Rod Penrose - 80
    6. Andrew Ermel - 80

    Victoria currently lead the State Of Origin Challenge, but a word to the wise - Qld make up nearly 70% of the Warwick field, so my guess is this will probably swing to the homeside advantage.

    The watercooled bracket has a healthy field of 8 competitors, consisting of MK1s up to tuned Golfs. This will make for an exciting tussle.

    Tickets, etc can be collected from the VWMA tent on Friday. Any changes to your tickets/crew/etc can also be made at that time.

    If you know of anyone who missed the cut-off and were planning to compete, they can call me on 0419 735 596.

    See you on the track.

    Cheers

                  Hi Everyone,

                  A reminder that the cut-off date is September 23rd.

                  The Watercooled Class has a few entries so far, but a few more would add to the excitement. I notice there are a number of motivated Qld forum members keen to have a VW only motorsport event. Well, this is one right in your own backyard. Two days of unlimited Volkswagen drag racing, street parade and display in the Warwick CBD, camping, entertainment, etc. Check out all the details on Volkswagen Magazine Australia. © 2011 under the Warwick button.

                  Cheers
                  Craig

                    Hi guys,

                    I can only wish for something of this to happen to the Peugeot community as most of the relating cars are either too old or non competitive. My question is, would you let a lonely Peugeot 205 gti with an Mi16 engine attend? My thinking is (hard sell here) that the 205 gti was a front line competitor to the Mk1 golf when they were both on the show room floor as the two best hot hatches on the market.

                    Maybe a wild card entry?

                    Ok, I saw the add in the Dubbers mag - bummer! ...looks like I'll have to buy a dub.

                          Id always wanted a Euro based drag racing event , but I dont know who would be willing to organise such an event ?
                          I know you could race on Fri/Sat at Portland , not sure about Warwick
