The display will close at 3.00pm with ALL cars remaining until then. In the interest of public safety NO vehicle may be moved or started during the display.

Again, Toymods, is organising a few 'side' events for the interstate enthusiasts. So to make their trip worthwile, we will be having a dinner and possibly a Dyno Day or drag night at WSID (TBA)

See everyone there...

PS: You're car does not need to be in 'show condition' to enter. As long as it's neat and tidy (washing it is a great start), we'd love to see it in the show!

Pretty sure ill make the trip from SA. Anyone else thinking of going from here.
Possibly organise a convoy with other fellow travellers.
Would also be great to meet some fellow ae86dc peeps there too.

[Matt]

I'll message the organisers about seeing if we can enter cars from ae86dc as a group

[AIROCOBRA]

Big group from Canberra convoying up to this . But while there will be lots of Toyota's ( Celica,s Corolla's , Crown's , Mr2's etc etc) I am not aware of any AE86's from Canberra going , even though quite a few of us own them . Bit strange really !!!!!!!!!!!!! Actually I'm not even going in a Toyota ---- taking the towing ute as I have stuuf to pick up from the Big smoke.

[trdee]

Grouping *should* be ok. Will confer with the other board guys just to make sure first though.

Also! I will be organising a gokarting day at eastern creek on the saturday, and we might go watch the movie "Rush" afterwards. I'm in the process of organising it all now, will put the details up once it's all sorted out

[maxhag]

I took my AE86 last year.... Taking the panelvan this time for something differant.....


Matt, I will be "grouping" with the CCG and Toymods ACT chapter........

[Matt]

Will be a fun event!

[sunbeam]

really looking forward to this !

Also, since this is the 10th anniversary of toyotafest I thought we should do something a little extra. As a result, I am organising a gokarting day at eastern creek the day before.

https://www.facebook.com/events/554799917918586/

The venue is eastern creek karts, and we will be doing a mini grand prix which includes:
- warm up
- 4 heats
- grand final

Time is not confirmed yet but I will aim for around midday. Cost is currently $210 per person but we are trying to negotiate a better rate. Also. If people are interested, we can go and watch the movie "Rush" afterwards at a cinema nearby? Make a full day of it...

I need at least 10 people to be on board for this to go ahead, so please confirm if you are going to make it as soon as possible people!

[trdee]

Ok so start time for karting is definitely 1pm. I have also been able to secure a discount which means the entry price has now been reduced to $180 :D

We will be going on the longest configuration of the track, 1024m long (track 3)

The race is expected to take 3 hours, the closest cinema to the track is Hoyts blacktown, Rush is on at 6:30pm there if anyone is keen...
