The Final event for SEVWA has come and gone now, but WOW what a show! We had a GREAT weekend for some good times with our VW Family and Friends. The weekend started off with a Cruise with the Unlimited Street Class held in Mocksville, then some Dinner and a good meeting with fellow racers at the Sagebrush. That evening many came out to the track to camp out and setup their swap meet spaces. It was a cold evening, but well worth not having to wait in line at the gate the next morning.

    Sunday started off early with many arriving as the gates opening and were eager to get in and set out their goodies to sell or maybe get some good deals before the rest of the crowd. There were lots to see and buy as over 60 new and used parts vendors lined the grounds by noon. The gates were non-stop all day with spectators, swap meters and show cars alike. This event we had a special section for VW only parking and it seemed like you all liked it. Well we hope so as we will keep that going for future events. This helped reserve the show area for those that wanted to be judged and easier for our judges to find the cars. In the end we had some 130 Show cars with some VERY NICE Volkswagens in attendance. Some of which have been here numerous times, but some new faces as well. Ethan Icenhour took Best of Show with his 60 Indigo Blue Beetle. In several classes only one point separated the top 3! Take a look in the link below for a list of winners in each class.

     The racing section had some 70 racers in attendance, helping make this the largest field for this event yet. This event featured two Heads up classes with Oliver Frey taking the win in the Turbosmart Pro Outlaw class and in the Aircooled Technology’s Unlimited Street East Troy Sellars took the Champion Spot this time. Now let’s not forget all the Bracket Racers in attendance, many of which were going for points in the SEVWA Bracket Series, since this was the Final event for the year. Take a look below for a complete rundown of the Champions for the 2011 Tour. In the Sportsman Class you had Brandon Miller taking the win away from Rick Laws. Mel Shealy took home the money in the Pro Class over Watercooled competitor Troy McNair. Super Pro Class had Mike Gagnier in his rail taking the win over Clint Woolard.

  Our ladies in Pink raised over $600 for the Susan G. Komen Foundation for Breast Cancer Awareness. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and donated!

 This Fall 2011 event was the best event to date that SEVWA has been doing these at Farmington. We would like to thank each and every one of you for coming out and supporting the event. If you have any questions or comments about the event please do not hesitate to call or email us.
