Volkswagens brighten Leslie Park

GALLERY: Volkswagens brighten Leslie Park

ROWS of Volkswagens lined up in Leslie Park this morning ahead of the 2017 Volkswagen Drags at Warwick Dragway this afternoon.

Cars boasting a range of colours, shapes and modifications were available for those wandering through the park to take a quick peek.

 

One example drawing quite a bit of attention was a Volkswagen Beetle on display courtesy of Ray Johnston and Denise Robertson.

The pair travelled from the Gold Coast to take part in the weekend.

Their ruby-red number has won 24 trophies in 4 years, a testament to the effort put in by Ray who had done all the labour and modifications to turn the vehicle from a mess into a masterpiece.

Each year they return to Warwick to catch up with old friends and share new changes made to the vehicle.

Ray said this year the car had been installed with a new motor, which should see it shave off seconds at the drags.

"Just to see people's reactions and what a top job you've done, all the hard work pays off," he said.

Finals for each drags category at the Warwick Dragway will recommence at 9am tomorrow and a Show 'n' Shine will also be held.

Tickets cost $10 each and children under 13 are free.

Warwick Dragway can be found on Old Stanthorpe Rd, Warwick.
