The Cal-look Lounge

Dear Racers,
 
You may have heard there was some debate about whether Gary's Picnic would be open to VW's in 2011, but we are pleased to announce that we have struck a deal with the track. 
 
This year the promoters have restricted VW numbers at the event to 32 cars. The track have asked that the OFF register entrants and provide details to the track to both control the number but also the quality / speed of the cars (in much the same was as they do for EBI). Consequently if you want to race this year you will need to enter and your  tickets will be pre allocated and available at the gate from Friday lunchtime 27th May.
 
This years event will be held over the UK May Bank Holiday on the 28th, 29th and 30th May 2011, which means once again Gary's Picnic will be a 3 day event. So those of you planning coming from far away, you have 3 days racing to look forward to.

 If your interested in attending and racing at Gary's Picnic this year please email your details to Bernard Newbury>  mail@bernardnewbury.co.uk so we can get your name and details on the list. We hope to cater for all of you racers visiting from abroad and if numbers allow any UK racers interested in racing but we are restricted to 32 cars and these places will be allocated on a first come first served basis assuming the car is suitable and your entry is accepted (again in EBI style). 
 
 Please note the track have confirmed to us that any independent entrants will not be permitted to race, so the only way you can race your VW at Gary's Picnic this year is by responding here and having your entry accepted. Sorry to sound so officious about it, but this is what we have agreed with the track to ensure we can race at the event.   
 
Good luck with getting your cars ready and we look forward to seeing you there!

Good to see that you can still race on that nice event. We can not come this year , going to Denmark one weekend later .
I hope some other europeans come to race with you

See you Udo

We are getting nearer, so do not leave it until too late.

in up for it but can only make one day is this ok or is it only for 3 day racers?

Don't want to stir any turds or throw spanners in the works

But I've just rang Shakey on there number on there site and enquired about taking a car up and they said no restrictions for vws ????

I was told it's a rwyb weekend for garys picnic ?

Have things changed at the last minute ?

The Outlaws are only going by what we have been told. The numbers were only finalised last week.

I'm puzzled now ???

Hi all .

Rudy (OFF new beetle) need ,for the Gary's picnic this week end , one  1600cc injector low impedence (bosch/RC) .
Before starting the engine we tested the injector via ecu, and one is out of order .

So if you have one for loan or sale let me know .

Thanks .

Hi .

New records for :
 - Jim Smith : 9.21 @ 149mph
 - Bernard Newburry : 9.74 or 9.79   ::)

Great week end .

Some trouble with the newbeettle : 10.47 with the 4th who would not engage ...

Francois "Shrek" new combo turbo pauter with some trouble to find correctly the gear during shifting ,but the power is here !  (and maybe much power after a dyno session for jetting the carb )

Thanks to all OFF members for help and advise ( and found a BurgerKing  ;D ) and special thanks to Benssp and Martin Taylor to having cared to find the injectors and delivery to our pit saturday morning .

.

Thanks for the update everyone and congrats to all the new PB`s. Sounds like great fun.

So this means that Jim Smith is now the fastest Outlaw in the world  :)

See PM Charlie.

Best rgs
