The VW's are back February 20th, 21st & 22nd
The 2009 VWMA drag racing series kicks off at VW Portland on the weekend of February 21st-22nd at the 1/8th mile South Coast Raceway facility. This is VW Portland’s second year, and will feature a number of new, exciting Volkswagen drag cars, including Mike Kristen’s twin turbo Ghia. Of course, the major sponsor for the 2009 series is Custom Bugs & Buses, with Mike freely admitting that his driving passion is drag racing.
The format for VW Portland has been changed from last year, with the Volkswagens sharing the track with local racers on the Friday night and Saturday, and then the VW guys and gals will have the track all to themselves on Sunday. The Friday and Saturday programme will give VW drivers a chance to compete against other makes and models, as well as VW only qualifying all Saturday afternoon. On Sunday, an extra hour of practice in the morning, followed by four rounds of Round Robin competition with a final, will be strictly for VWs only.
The Friday night is the regular street meet for South- Coast Raceway, and street registered VWs may compete as part of their VW Portland entry. Drag racing under lights adds another dimension to the weekend activities, and track officials have also given permission for a number of demo runs by some of the VW drag cars, such as Rod Penrose and Mike Kristen. The night racing will commence at about 6pm and go through until 9pm.
As with all VWMA drag racing weekends, a street parade and static display for all Volkswagens, not just race cars, will leave South Coast Raceway at approximately 9am on the Saturday morning and wind through the CBD to a park on the water’s edge near the main street of town. The display will remain at the park until about 11am. Please note, that only street registered vehicles may be driven, while all other cars must be trailered.
Saturday afternoon combines VW practice and qualifying, as well as a Chicago Shootout event for South Coast Raceway. VW Portland drivers have the option of competing in the Chicago Shootout for an additional $70, or simply participate in the VW practice and qualifying. The afternoon racing starts at 12noon and finishes at 5pm. In the evening, there is the dinner for VW drivers, crews and campers, followed by VW Tappet Cover Racing, all conducted in the South Coast Raceway club rooms.
On Sunday the programme is all Volkswagen, with an additional hour of practice from 9am - 10am, followed by a four round Round Robin competition with a final. Competition should finish about 2pm, with trophy presentations directly after in the club rooms.
Further information, including the weekend programme, prices and entry forms can be found at the VWMA website - www.vwma.net.au Please note the cut-off for driver entries is February 13th 2009. See you at or on the track for some straight line VW thrills!
Supercharged Saturday
A massive weekend of racing capped off the final race meeting for 2008 at the South Coast Raceway last weekend.
The highlight bracket for the weekend came via the Supercharged Outlaws with some sensational passes put down during qualifying & racing including a new track mph record with Yarra Glen's Chris Hargraves flying down the track on his first pass of the weekend crossing the line at 152mph.
There was some fantastic racing to be seen during the Chicago shootout format in the Outlaw's bracket with Shane Baxter taking out the class with 3 wins from 3 rounds.
Not to be out done the Super Sedan bracket was full of some of the closest ever racing ever seen at SCR. Adelaide's Peter Cook was in great form in his 48 Anglia Ford tearing his way through the early rounds and into the final with some very good racing. Portland local Sleepy Baker was another racer in great form also winning his way through to the final in Super Sedan. It was Cook however who came up trumps in the final after a red light from Baker.
Super Street was again dominated by Alister Paulin who won his way through to the final in a full 32 car S/ST field. Tom Krieger also showed some great form during eliminations winning his way into his first finals appearance at SCR. It was not to be all Krieger's way in the final though with Paulin coming up trumps.
With 5 competitors in the Bike class another round of Chicago Shootout was arranged. At the end of three rounds of racing we had some very consistent riders with 4 of the 5 riders having 2 wins a piece. Naracoorte's Malcolm Luff and Henty's Gavin Dohnt battled it out in the final with Luff crossing the line first and taking the win.
