GLs racing at my clubs track day

Hi

I just uploaded a video of a couple of our club members racing their GL 1303s racing at Wakefield Park in Australia.

Hi

It was very wet in the morning and a bit cool, about 14 C, its autumn down here, almost winter.

These sprints are on most weekends.

Our club used to hold a 1/8 drag meeting on the Saturday and the show & shine on the Sunday, when the new 1/4 mile track was built in Sydney the 1/8 mile shut down and the 1/4 mile track owners let us run once then showed us the door, most VW racers wont even attend the 1/4 mile track as they get treated very badly.

So this year we decided hold our inaugural Supersprint, we had 40 + VWs enter, it was great success with many of the VW drag racers building cars to run the Supersprint, im pretty sure we will do it again next year.

Here is another video that has been loaded http://www.volksculture.com/video/vo...w-super-sprint

hey steve, if you were the steve i spoke to about the guy leaving lights on, your older than i expected, however, can i be blindly optimistic & put in a super early entry for next year? circuit bugs are awesome compared to drags, ill push it the 1400ish kms to race next year if i have to! what happened to the orange bug that broke up the back corner on the hill do you know?
