The display will close at 3.00pm with ALL cars remaining until then. In the interests 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 a drag night at WSID. Watch this thread for further details!!
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!

Gates open at 5pm and racing starts at 6pm until 10pm, so if you're racing make sure you get in early, it's not unheard of to be turned away at 6pm because there were too many cars.

I'm keen....will be a bit tight coming back from Byron on Thurs

[Kedderz]

Im keen for the day trip like we did last year mitch, makes it a pleasant sunday ;-)
Ill be coming up in the soarer, theres no way the celica will be ready and im dreaming to even suggest it.
My mate in his ra23 will also be tagging along with whatever we decide to do.

[YLD-16L]

I'll enter the rolla this year so will need to be there early enough to do the entry and parking thing.

Open to what ever people are keen on provided I'm there in time for that.

[The Green Terror]

Going to have to pass as I am away camping for the long weekend

[YLD-16L]

After last nights get together it looks like it'll be a bright and early start on Sunday morning in order to arrive before the 8:45am cut-off.

We'll organise the finer details the week before

[tomvale13]

I and other Tom (the lebanese one) are in, be cruisin on up in the crown.

If we are more than an hour late can someone grab a coil for a 2m and start fanging towards Marulan?

[Kedderz]

what time you heading up tom with the rest of the crowd or another?

[tomvale13]

Goin up Saturday, maybe even Friday arvo.

Got a mate in Pennant Hills we might stay with, although its a bit far out.

The missus and friends will have accomodation as its the same week as 'parklife' or 'field daze' or some bullshit so we may stay there, although I doubt it as I find people on drugs fucking annoying as if I'm not on em and am on some different wave-length..

you know what I mean.

[YLD-16L]

I'm going up Sunday, nothing like being on the road before sunrise.....

[Kedderz]

time to bust out the madz azzz starlet......

or not.

[tomvale13]

I wish.

Oh you meant yours.

[YLD-16L]

You'l probably take out the award for "best in show" in the Starlet category.

[JustenGT8]

I'm no chance now
Some tasks have been allocated from she who must be obeyed so it's Toyofest or WP...choice is pretty easy

[YLD-16L]

I'm just hoping some 11 day weeks with 6 day weekends spring up in the next three weeks so I can finish my car.

I feel your pain Justen, I've got relatively little work to get done around our place but it's still consuming all my time outside of work. I was up at 5am yesterday morning prepping rooms for painting, more of the same for at least another week or so. Then I can start on the front yard............then the back.....then the garage.....then maybe the car.
