Lads,

 

Bruce reminded me in his private message (thanks mate) that I haven't posted this event yet... so here it is!

Last year we raised over $1600 of profit for the Cancer Council and hopefully we can do better this year. It's in the same place as last year (Yarra Glen) for those who came... and for those who didn't check out the Facebook page for what you missed out on.

This is only a few weeks away now! One of the organisers Damien has been working his ass off to one up himself with the incredible trophies he made last year and he has also made a slot car track which will be in operation during the day and given away as the first prize in the raffle.

 

Seriously you don't want to miss this.

Yes a great day out. Don't forget this event is from 8.00am to 1.00pm so don't miss out. It's all for a good cause raising money for Cancer. I was there last year, 200datsuns parked on a grassed show ground. This year will be bigger and better. Hope to see a few of you guys out there.

Any pre meets to cruise down in a group?

[Agno]

I'd be browsing Facebook to see if anyone has organised anything. I'll be first on the scene to set up so I won't be cruising in, sorry!

Slot car track looks like Sandown.

[Agno]

Interesting you say that...

Last year we met up at Ringwood supercheap and headed off from there.

[Gordo]

The weather is looking fantastic, with light winds and a sunny 25deg. Lets hope it doesn't change.

Really looking forward to seeing all the Datsuns out there.

Nissan/Kelly Motorsport coming through with the goods for the raffle on Sunday!

[Iceberg]

Interested to cruise in with other Zs.

 

Ideally starting somewhere in South East suburbs or Ringwood Super Cheap auto as per the post above.

 

Anybody else keen?

 

My 260z is mechanically ready in every way but not so much aesthetically.

Thanks Bruce. Was a big turn out

[Gordo]

I did a quick walk around with the GoPro and my some Scott put this together. A lot of footage was left out, was going to be to long.

Nice footage, looks a good turn out and plenty of variety

[Agno]

Thanks to all the Zedders and Dattophiles who brought their cars down!

 

It was hammered home on the day, but for those who didn't go all profits from the day go to the Cancer Council as donations. While I can't tell you the final numbers on the amount of money raised yet, provisionally we are somewhere in the mid $4,000's in funds raised which is absolutely brilliant for a single day community event, so thanks again to everyone who came out.

 

I think for next year we are going to have to impose a lock in so I get more than 45 minutes to walk around and see all the cars before people decide they want to go home!
