WARWICK Dragway is about to play host to a uniquely Australian motorsport event – the VW Warwick Weekend.
To be held at the Morgan Park facility over 1-2 October the event is now in its 11th year for Warwick and is considered to be the nation’s premier VW motorsport weekend.
The programme for Warwick will start with a Dyno session at the track on Friday evening, with Diesel Tune bringing along their mobile dyno.
On Saturday the traditional morning street parade and static display will be held in the Warwick CBD at Leslie Park ahead of the Show’n’Shine on Sunday. The parade and display will be from 9.30am to 11am.
Scrutineering happens back at the track from 11am until noon, after which there will be a driver’s briefing on the staging lanes.
Unlimited practice and qualifying will follow the briefing from 1pm to 5pm.
On Sunday, an additional hour practice will be conducted in the morning from 9am to 10am, followed by a four-round Round Robin competition with a final.
This year there will be two finals for the Top VW Shootout, a final for normally aspirated cars and one for forced induction.
Competitors must have their entry and money to VWMA by Friday 23 September, as no entries will be accepted on the day.
Warwick Dragway will also host Drag Fest on 15-16 October – keep an eye out in the Free Times for more.
