We had 11 entrants and a territory (towing the club trailer) attend this event. To mix things up a little we met at the Mile End Homemaker Centre as there were a few other groups meeting there also so it was a good opportunity to have an early look at our competition! Once everyone arrived we immediately set off as we wanted to make sure we gave ourselves as much time as possible to get up the hill and set up ready for the show. Being relatively early on a Sunday morning, the drive was great up the freeway with minimal traffic making it an enjoyable cruise. Once arriving at The Bend Motorsport Park, we were ushered to our area and once some trucks with trailers were moved we were able to organise our marquee and cars to what we wanted.

Once set up, everyone was free to look around the show n shine and trade stalls, for a few it was the first time they had been to the Motorsport Park so it was a great opportunity to have a look at the facility. Cars were racing on the track early so there was a great atmosphere around, and it gave the guys something else to look at and to pass the time. At the lunchtime break, we were lucky enough to have 4 club members do a parade lap on the track, this was a great opportunity to get a few members to see what it was like on the new track and by the looks of the smiles coming back it didn’t disappoint!!

Once presentations were announced we packed up the marquee and flags etc so we were ready to leave as soon as it finished. After a lengthy raffle prize draw, they had the trophy presentation which comprised of more than 30 trophies! The club was lucky to receive the “Top Crew Turnout” trophy which was testament for their fantastic display and also Brett won the “Fat FPV” trophy.

Concluding the trophy presentation we walked back to our cars, had a group photo and said our goodbyes.

A big thankyou to everyone that helped set up and pack up the gear as it seemed to be done so fast and efficiently, and a big thankyou to Robyn who brought the trailer up on the day.

This was an event that was received very well and a lot of members have said they would definitely do it again if they had the opportunity
