After a few months of back and forth with the guys at bishopscourt, we have a date set for the first ever aircooled drag event, plus an H2O invitational.
Sunday 25th August.
Within to weeks of the announcement i had 30 + booked and paid to race, T2D have stepped up with goodies for the racers, Ultra VW are donating a years subscription to a lucky winner, Cool Flo Vintage have thrown goodies into the pot, VW Hetitage have put together some goody bags for the race winners, Elite Motor Performance are supporting this event by holding a club dyno day on the saturday before, Eircooled are oragnising the bbq and show and shine, Carbs N Chrome, the tyre centre Athlone, Lazy days Campers have all chipped into the pot, Bugwelder Germany have also stepped up.
One of the biggest names in VW coachtrimming in the uk has stepped up and my good freinds Louis and Bernard Newbury are handmaking/stitching a unique bowling pin trophy for the event ( those who know hot rodding and drag history will get the connection)
Partially finished!
plus one of Bernies own 9 sec beetle "Stitch Up" tee shirts
Also supporting is the biggest flat four racing series in the uk, The Outlaw Flat Four, these guys run anything from the minimum 12.99 right down to 9 zero's on the quarter and to get one of their tee's on board is awesome, these boys dont give them away to anyone.
We have put a car together in two weeks for a bt of fun, scrapings off the workshop floor, 1835cc modified 1300 heads, this is what the event is all about, folk turning up with anything and everything from mild to wild, from stock to rock!!!
Certificates for EVERY racer are printed.
Stickers are printed
A one off run of brushed aluminium dash plaques and tee shirts are also in progress.
The Watercooled guys have turned up en force, Mick Cruschell is driving all the way from co. cork with his N2O injected 12 second mk1 golf
Dave Clarke is bringing his 550 bhp v6 turbo mk2 golf with haldex 4wd
amongst a host of other watercooled invitational entries.
Its shaping up to be an awesome weekend, drag entries are FULL, there is no show n shine for newer vehicles only aircooled and special invites, THIS IS NOT A CAR SHOW!. But a drag event with a collection of aircooled and early watercooled from across Ireland, which also includes the t4 forum.Spectators on the gate £10 We would love to see you there.
