That's great to hear!  Will you be racing?

yes I hope to be racing

Close to 40 entries now, plus Johno from Queensland Streetcar Magazine (the guy behind Nostalgia Drags) is coming up to both cover the event in his magazine and also race in it! His Chevy Impala is already here in Townsville as I saw it yesterday cruising down Punari St

Forecast for Saturday: A shower or two. Min26 Max32 

Keep your fingers crossed the rain stays away.  I have been slack updating all the details on here as I have had no internet the last 3 weeks.  At this point in time we have over 50 cars entered, and if others who are franticly workign on their cars can get them ready in time we might see that number climb to over 60.

FREE OFF STREET PARKING BEHIND THE PITS!

Simply turn off Boundary Street and head down pit lane and my promo girls will direct you were to go

how successfull was the meet? was unable to attend (wasn't happy about), heard a few mixed reports however people over-all think was good!  good to see people other than the USUAL putting in the effort to get something happening, i hope it was well supported, Did the 50+ expected show?

When are we going to lap this one again Brett?????
