2011 VW NATIONALS- SUPER SPRINTS- 21st & 22nd May

[VR6pitcrew]

The VW Nationals - SUPER SPRINTS-will be held on Saturday 21st of May at Wakefield Park near Goulburn about 2 hours southwest of Sydney. The same as last year, for all those wanting to attend, The Show & Shine Car show on Sunday at Fairfield Showgrounds from 0800 hours.

[mikinoz]

I may just have to attend the Super Sprint. I'd prefer to do both but I am not sure I will be granted the leave required from the family duties.

[Wolfgang]

Oh noes!

I won't be in the country on these dates.

Damn! Was looking forward to this. :(

[Water Boy]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

[Tim]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

You thinkin of doin the sprint this year woody? Could be a good way to spice up the weekend

[MiKe1_golf]

i'll go to the show n shine but i don't think my car would survive the sprint day.... it would probably be quicker to get out of the car and actually sprint too.

[dubmc]

well it was pretty much this event last year when i got home and decided i wanted to race a MK1..so I absolutely can't wait for this day and it has been a long time coming and the car should be ready a couple weeks before hand

[mikinoz]

Just remember that you are going to need to have a Cams L2S licence ($103), Club Vee Dub membership ($45) and then the supersprint fee ($170).

[Evaded Motorsport]

In like Flynn.

[Dub Toffee]

I would really love to have something ready, never been to one of these events

[thestu]

i'm down... getting cams sorted asap

[fuzion]

So those who dont want to enter (or cant due to clutch going to burst like me due to AWD launching....)

having a gtg at Rozelle at CCP and all are welcome! :) bbq/food/maybe a mini car detail

[amazeer]

Still no joy with the regs and entry forms. Problems with the crash team we'd booked. Apparently not permitted at Wakefield Park. Would have been nice if I had of been informed this 2 months ago instead of me having to chase it up over and over. Anyway rest assured I will get it done before 21st May, only I am not allowed to post entry forms or regulations until they are approved. If I did that I would lose the licence that took me 18 months of hoop jumping to get.

SO...

The folllowing is a link to last years entry form. The only difference to this form will be that the date in the top left corner will change to 21st May 2011. http://users.tpg.com.au/berzerk/Chris/clubvw/EntryForm.doc

The following is a link to last years supplementary regulations. http://users.tpg.com.au/berzerk/Chris/clubvw/2010SuppRegs.doc
There are a few changes to these.
The date obviously
The names of the stewards.
The entry fee goes to $180/200
The classes will be as per NSW Supersprint panel rules with the exception that type 1&2 are combined.
Crash rescue will not be by CRAFT, it wil be someone else.

Everything else should stay the same, including the event secretary's address which is where you will send entries.

And if you havent seen the link before this is the link to the categories. http://supersprints.com.au/rules-and-regulations/2011/2011%20Vehicle%20Regs.pdf

[The_Hawk]

A reminder to all that this is now a little over a month away with pre entry available here:
Club VeeDub Sydney Inc: Club VeeDub Payment Gateway (http://clubvw.org.au/payments/?page_id=4)

You save $5 if you pre enter the show and shine and $30 if you pre enter the super sprint.

[Evaded Motorsport]

Entry Forms are up.

Anyone know what the regulations are with regards to diesels. Under CAMS general regs they state that Turbo Diesel capacity is calculated at 1.5 times the actual capacity. Super Sprint Regs do not have a listing for it though.

Never mind. Sorted it out.

[Water Boy]

Are they using the 1.5x factor for TDI?

[Evaded Motorsport]

Yeah they are. I hate the 1.5x factor, Stupid 3J Rules are a PITA, have to run a 36mm inlet restrictor when the time comes which is ridiculous considering the air diesels need to flow. Anything bigger than a VNT17 is going to be pointless and that isn't exaclty a big turbo. Will have to see how it goes with a 17/22 or the Kerma K3.

Not too clog up teh thread but yess there is a lot of "grey area's" regarding running a diesel. My Dad has been working with Improved Production to try and encourage the use of alternative fuels. Its a long way off but should be good...

IPRA allows diesels, there are a couple of people building them as far as I am aware. Atleast it is being discussed on the IPRA forums. The bigger issue is the restrictor limits.

[Water Boy]

I beleive my Dad sent of his entry today!

[Sammy125TDi]

I'll be IN for both the Supersprint and the show and shine.

[dubmc]

car registered for both supersprint & show and shine :) hope all goes well.

[badgerboards]

[benough]

I'm locked in for the Slow n Shine.

So where are all the Waterpumpers?

my lovely waterpumping S3 has a clutch which is as soft as water and will not be attending unfortunately. As well as now we have something on that day so cant make it! Will be doing a mini detail during the night lol

[Blitzen]

I'm not sure if I'll be making it now. Had a bit of a disagreement with a kangaroo.

[dom123]

Anyone needs a place to stay more than happy to help out.

[Water Boy]

It seems there will be more interstate people at this event that locals.

Where is all the hype?

[Water Boy]

Its Monday this thread should be exploding with hype...

New cars, stance, people rides and skids...

Where's it at...

[dom123]

perhaps everyones out to make a surprise...impact player sort of effect

[wooduck]

So is anyone else going to the Supersprints @ wakefield. I'll be there with Sammy125TDI
