Nürburgring + DasDragDay meet 2009
As Pete so wisely pointed out to me that it was better to post this here, I am happy to oblige
Like last year, one day prior to the DasDragDay weekend at Bitburg (Germany), a few of us from the Netherlands will be visiting the Nürburgring for a spin (or two) around this famous track. Friday before the Bitburg weekend (which is only about 70 km's further) the Ring opens at 14:15h according to the official website schedule for Touristenfahren (tourist runs). Any (fast) aircooled VW's are welcome to join us. Let us know if you are coming here and eventually with what car/set-up Impressions from last year of my bug: DDD 2008: BTW, the 9FF porsche (appr. 1000 hp according to the owner) ran a 10,25 sec 1/4 mile on (very low air psi, semi-slick) street tires.... He did leave broken on a trailer unfortunately. Pete said he'd come over and I promised him a shotgun ride in my bug (on low boost, we don't get crazy and risk crashing) around the Ring if he really showed... |

Don't go Pete !!!
If you do, you'll get an addiction for reliable type 4 turbo power while you're there, and will want the same when you get back !!! All kidding aside, I'd love to go to a show like Hannover Sandeep |

I will try to be there again this year. Unfortunately, there might be another event where I do have to stay that weekend, but I am really looking forward in making some more laps on the Ring. Last year it was one of the most exciting weekends of 2008!! Will try to be there with better brakes and a 1955cc turbo type1 this time...

Good news! I CAN make it to the Ring at 18th september!
Planning for me is to stay over at a local camping (I emailed Pete which one) and stay there to do some more laps on saturday afternoon (Touristenfahrt is open from 13:30-19:30 on saturday). I'll skip Bitburg myself, but most other travel further to Bitburg friday evening. Let me know if you can make it Pete, the co-pilot seat is still available for you, but I need to know your weight in advance for suspension set-up reasons... |

Have fun Wally. It's too late to take the days off for a overseas trip. We'll have to get together in 2010.

It's a privilige to have a circuit like this in our neighbourhood. We just have to use this privilige more often!
Wally found some more cool pics: |
