On Sunday, the Rennwagens headed out to put on a club display at VWAction Lazy Sunday, which represented VWAction's welcome return to Uttoxeter Racecourse, having last ventured up north to celebrate their 30th birthday party in 2005, followed by the VW Action ‘Summer Party’ in 2006, so it’s been a while.
Of course, the Rennwagen's were always going to come out and support a great show right on its doorstep and so submitted into the club display a 10strong field of Hot VW's consisting of
1. Steve's 61
2. Gaz's 68
3. John's 90
4. Peach's 66
5. Jamie's 60
6. Richie's 65
7. Dave's 66
8. Phil's 912
9. Rich's 2110 split '60
10. John's 63
In addition, Matt submitted his Ghia into the show and shine picking up a top 10 for his efforts "well done Matt", Andy cruised up in his sweet looking T25, Rob Locker, in his red Rag which is soon to boast a Jon Walklett built 1835 turbo and his brother Kyle in his cool Fontana Grey late looker on rep. Gas Burners and finally Paul brought his hard as nails bay. In addition to the cars, Rennwagen members, prospects, and friends of the club and respective families were out in force to enjoy a drink, a chat and the fantastic summer weather. Local Air-cooled VWspecialist and friends to the Club Kraftwerk were also in attendance with a trade stand.
At 2pm the Rennwagens created a wall of noise with a mass fire up of the mota's, a huge gathering of people congregated around the business end of the display to witness the awesome sound, many people declaring it their personal highlight of the show. Unfortunately, anyone with experience of race cars will know if you own one you have to expect breakages, the fact of the matter is this can occur when in motion or when stationary as in the case of Jamie Palmer's 60 Turbo racer, who unfortunately blew his motor during the display. The postmortem has yet to be carried out, but Jamie remains as positive as ever - which is why he remains the backbone of this club.
To top a great day off, the club picked up VWAction Lazy Sunday's best Club Display, and no doubt we'll be back next year to defend our title.
