-- you know you want to stage next to this ....

the Zundefolge members are bringing there fastest and slowest out to the drags and we like to keep track of everthing and will keep a list taped on the side of the
" WOK " trailer so everyone can fill in there times and see how they are stacking up against there fellow aircooled friends and make there bets .
this is going to be a great 20th night so lets get as many vw's racing as possible.

Remember ,its not about the E.T's but more about getting as many aircooled down the track together for 100% pure fun .
Drag racing is not hard on your car JUST run it as you would in the city and relax and enjoy yourselves
so lets start a no BULL SH_T list of whos going NO MAYBE's and what class there racing in

copy and add you name full name so we can get a list organised

Stock Motor Challange class
- Silas Bancroft

sport compact
- Jim martin

Can you just show up Fri or do you have to pre register with the track?
Title: Re: less that 2 weeks , no bull shit list whos racing for fun
Post by: Billyisgr8 on August 14, 2011, 08:25:56 AM
pre-register is for the test and tune during the day, more than likely they will be booked allready but you can put your name on a waiting list if it is,cause there are many times people cancel last minute, and you get their spot.  For the track it is a first come first served up to their maximum car count they can accept for racing.

I only wish my car was going to be there to race you this year Jim.  It would make for great racing forsure.

Brodie = Jeremy Kent

Just so there's no controversy, my 1200 isn't exactly stock. I've upgraded the carb from a 28pict to a 30 pict so I could use the 12v choke. Am I out for the SMC? Don't want there to be any issues when I win this thing.   :'( ;)

I don't beleive in old gas anymore after my latest experiance. You will still run a 12.4 @ 104 with it I predict.

Just bought a stock 1600dp motor. Count me in for the SMC (assuming it doesn't toss a rod on the way down).

How about a grudge match?  My stock 36hp with a questionable clutch against your 1302 with unknown engine history?  How could this end badly :P

You Strictly German folk going to take that. Come on out and represent.  ;D ;)

Though I have never raced it looks pretty straight forward. Drive in a straight line for a 1/4 of a mile.

Looks like I will be able to attend with the '68 Beetle.  I guess Sport Compact would be my catagory.  Looking forward to the weekend...

Hi Kevin,

I've been in Coldstream since Tuesday, visiting relatives.  I departed for the coast this morning, took it easy on this drive.

I'm at Abbotsford for tonight...and have to do some work on this trip, as well.

Will see you at Mission tomorrow!
