        I'm heading up for this, but not sure what I'm going to be running as yet - depends what's in the garage in November.

        Gareth from Northside Europeans will be running my Golf R again this year.

                Just don't go bang on the runway. Oil clean ups are not fun....

                          Another great event and some awesome VWs competing today!

                          VolksMuller ran their awesome Kombi which was a huge crowd pleaser, and it was great to see the VW commercial range represented with an Amarok and Transporter both running the 1000m sprint.

                          Two Golf Rs ran today - sadly mine was sold a few weeks ago so I couldn't run it again this year, but our time of 21.9 from last year still stands as the record for fastest 4 cylinder. I doubt it'll last next year though.

                          Fastest speed this year was up to 327kph -nearly 20kph faster than last year.

                            Was a great day. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Will definitely be going back next year. Enjoyed watching the VWs but that Willall Racing Skyline R35 once just awesome to watch.

                              Wow! Sad to have missed the event this year, I've got nothing new or different to run this year but would have liked to go as a spectator since most of the fun is talking to the people anyway. Hopefully next year I'll be able to go again

                              If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.
