this is already in the events section but ill put it here as well since its big(ish)
on the 4th to 6th of august at rockingham raceway is the dub parade and on the 6th they're trying for the worlds largest vw parade. ALL VWs are permitted to enter, new and old:
" This official Guinness world record will give everyone a chance to be apart of a world record, but its going to be one tough cookie as the current world record stands at 2728 Volkswagens in one parade. This world record will take place on the oval circuit and will be apart of the final parade. Regardless of the model, age or condition every VW can take part in this"
plus on the saturday (finals on sunday) theres a relay race which I'm thinking of entering. anyone else up for it? (providing the weather is good since i have no roof)
"Create your own team or why not enter your VW Club in this team event? Your team of four Campervans or Beetles will enter the Oval and will be placed precisely in the marked sections of the track, this challenge is the same as it is in the athletics world, you will have to get to your team mate and pass the baton on. But here's the snag, you have to stop your VW, jump out and then run 15 yards in order to pass the baton to your team mate, So don't drop it. This promises to be a really fun challenge, but we have no doubt that it will turn into a serious competition when we get to the finals on Sunday! The 8 teams that achieve this challenge in the shortest time will be entered into the finals on Sunday."
although it says beetle or camper, iv emailed the organisers and theyve told me all air cooled vws are ok to enter
