well it depends on the marketing... and how much interest is generated...

I'd like to see at least 100 cars (i'm going to market it to local clubs and possibly diversify it and get the skyline and supra club involved and possibly even commodores for a bit of rivalry... hahaha)

turnout is not guarranteed...

I reckon its a good Idea and would love to go.... Need to arrange a convoy from Brissy though.. Need plenty of notice (for time off etc) but I am dead set keen. I reckon the missus would love to be rid of me for a while!

dates might have to be moved. Just got to negotiate with the local car club because their show and shine was scheduled for 3 weeks after the date we set. If we can tie 'em together it'd be great...
Cheers

If it's all official and the date set in concrete, start a new thread with the new flyer and list of who's going, I will make it sticky in here and also put a sticky in the GD area pointing back to it.

I'm keen.

Plenty of accommodation around.

Guys I have my first quote back on trophies... It doesn't sound right, but for 22 of the following (the trophy on the far left) is apparently $65 including engraving...
Let me know what you think...
