TOYOTA NATIONALS - DUBBO

WoW.....what a great way to spend a long weekend.
All up we had 10 cars and approx. 15 people from Canberra attend. As we were cruising through some of the smaller country towns on the way there, we even had the locals cheering and giving us the thumbs up. Think they loved to see the old and new Celicas in convoy. (I was a bit worried that my 22 was called "Fully Sick Maaaaate". Now there is a compliment!)
Striking diferrence to what we called the 'Dubbo welcome' from some of the wild county boys driving their utes and commodores. They would welcome us by flipping us the finger. Hell we copped it so many times it just became really funny.
Half the gang stayed at the Matilda and the other half at the 'Barracks' out of town. I think the young guns had the best time at the Barracks as can be seen by the post from Ben. Pity the video didn't survive.
I must say as my first trip to the TOYNATS it was great to meet so many really fantastic people from all over Oz. With all the Canberra people looking forward to trying to out-do themselves next year (Luckily Sam survived his last session to make it to the Drags....someone could lose a leg stepping in something like that Sam!)
Looks like we already have a heap more cars lined up for next year already. Special thanks to the organisers of the meet, especially Grant, Amanda, Dave, Phil and all the other organisers.
And for those who did not attend, our small Canberra contingent took home 3 trophies....from the Show and Shine!
Cheers.

Yeah all the guys down at the barracks had an awesome time. we'll definitely be going there again.
As for the nationals, awesome. Although the show and shine started to get boring, the drags were great. might i suggest some motorkhana, burnouts, supercruise and perhaps a rally next year? Like the toymods one, not like an ARC one.

but seriously i had the best time over the whole weekend,
i cant believe i was thinking about ditching it and not going!!!!
if next year is half as good as this year its still worth going to.
hopefully they will have a motorkhana going so i wont have to destroy the dirt road leading into the barracks and around the shed!
oh and ben i still have ur bloody camera.. its outta charge so i cant tape any more wierd and wonderfull things any more. damn stupid batteries

Maybe next year! You would have had a great time keeping up with the 162 boys, Ben and Joel. Maybe go the next step with a 3SGTE! Now that would be a great trip to Dubbo next year. Catch you at the next meting when we work out the details.
Cheers.

Mate, we all had a great time at Dubbo. From all the positive feedback I have received from people who did NOT attend Dubbo this year, looks like there will be a huge convoy going to Dubbo next year, from the CCG alone!
We wil promote it even more next year so we have plenty of time to get all the Canberra Toyotas rolling. 15 cars this year.....30 next year?????
Cheers
