We last year saw VW Action truly live up to its name, with over 15 cars from Das Autobahn Scrapers, and a large field of extremely quick race and street VWs. This year VW Action is introducing a few innovations, doing things a little differently. As the event - whilst featuring many race cars - is not run as an official round of any drag racing club championship, from 2008, all cars running under 13 seconds will be recorded for posterity as joining the appropriate VW Action 'speed club'. Backed up 12.99 to 12.00 gains automatic entry into the '12 second club', and a 12 second club trophy (A VW Action 'Oscar' engraved "12 SECOND CLUB"). 11.99 to 11.00, 10.99 to 10.00, and 9.99 to 9.00 similarly have their respective clubs, all of which have trophies for every new member, and all of which will be recorded on the VW Action website. Entry into these exclusive clubs is automatic and free on the production of two timing tickets with 1% of each other. We are looking to induct members into every one of these clubs during the weekend.

VW Action 2008 also features an awesome array of the very fastest demo cars the sport has to offer. This has been made possible by the fact that VW Action is the week before the 'FIA European Finals' , and a number of cars have taken the opportunity to get some testing in before they race in earnest the following weekend. There will be Top Fuel cars from across Europe, capable of running the quarter-mile in less than 5 seconds and speeds in excess of 300mph. You will also be able to check out the Scandinavian Pro Stockers, the fastest 'doorslammers' around, and many other 'demo' drag racers, testing for the FIA Eupopean Finals.

Throughout Sunday you will be able to test and tune your own car on the dragstrip, during the 'Run What You Brung' (RWYB) sessions, just remember to bring your driving licence. There is an additional 'signing on' fee to take part in this activity.
