OST @ Motorvation 2010

[WA_TRD_83]

My suggestion would be to visit all the like minded competitors this year to see about forming a united front for next year. When you look at the "clubs" that have decent location and numbers, you surely have to think differently about your participation in this show - a couple of riceburners in what is ostensibly a V8 car show, will never cut the mustard.

Personally, Motovation doesn't overly excite me - I go once every 7-8 years, and thats enough for me - walking around the bogans will do that to a guy though! I will also admit that it is possible to change, but it will be a long hard road unless you all group together to change the nature of the show.

I wish you all the best, who knows - I may even toddle down there this year (it must have been at least 7 years since I last went to a Motorvation?!), but I'll be keeping my cars (V8's and rice burners alike) in the shed for this show.

Clint - TECCWA display for 2011...??

My intention was more that you speak to other car owners/small clubs who fit under your banner of "Old School Toys" or some compromise, which would enable you to put a proposal together offering a greater selection of cars/drawcards and patronage. Sit down and think about what you want to achieve if forming a collaboration, and put a plan in place that relies on more than just an internet thread to determine it's feasability and success. Finally remember, Motorvation is a "local production V8/Muscle car/bogan car show, and presenting Japanese cars will always prove an uphill battle.

As mentioned above, I don't personally have a great ambition to show any of my cars at Motorvation. That said if someone at TECCWA wants to take it as a project, I will also support them 100%, ..., who knows, I may even wheel a car or two out also?!

Update,

the VA61 is running like a champ, everything is working well.... now revving to 7k.
Power output is kinda feeble though... really need to get some boost control action, is heaps for massif skids though

Pumped for next weekend!

[[MISFIT]]

Get pumped for it to be hot. Forecast is 39 on sunday. Anyone got shade?

[RA35GT]

Should be able to get my hands on some of those portable shade thingees.

[VA61DETT]

Yer, going to be punishing conditions for all by the sounds of it....

Will be picking up one of those cheep car shade thingos this week for sure.

[JustCallMeOrlando]

I might be in in the coming years, perhaps having a supercharged V8 in our group will help

[RA35GT]

Hopefully two will be better maybe three woot.

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Three would be good. Chances are pretty good....but tenuous...

[WA_TRD_83]

dam!... if Nathan enters, I might have to shut up and get my Supra back on the road and enter!

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Haha, I've entered before. They let the V8 Cressida swap straight in.

[CLG]

Haha, I've entered before. They let the V8 Cressida swap straight in.

Fixed for joo, and noted for future entrants!

[VA61DETT]

Haha, beat me to it!... must read like blah blah V8 blah blah blah...

Dose any one know what time they open up on sat morning for setting up?
Or would it be worth while getting down Friday arvo?

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Why do you think I put those two letters in? I know why they let it in

[woggin]
