That's right. I am on the organising committe and cna confirm that all TOYOTA's are welcome. Catch is your car MUST be powered by a piston engine. No Rotaties! Sorry about that, but is the rules.

Hi all,
I have a range of goodies that need to be transported to the Nationals. As the date gets closer I would like people to think about what room they have in their cars so I can offload some of this stuff. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I thought that was moderation day
thats when you and callum were all over the island doing circle work (the middle of the parkway) skyfire was when callum got yelled at and threatned cause he nearly ran over a kid and all those leather clad bikies were pushing him round (i think so was getting intoxicated)

ok first of all the trip is 4 hours thanks to a little scouting i did on the weekend theres also (thanks to a shortcut) about half way in to the trip about ten to fifteen km's of no speed limit road and yes it is sign posted as a no speed limit road its in ok condition but me and a mate talk to a local and he said he is the only one using most of it and thats a 6 o'clock in the morning and 6 o'clock at night so its a free for all fella's, also there is a rather cheap but good quality caravan park were i stayed on the weekend pretty cheap and they have really good security (full high fencing around the park and patrolled by security) anything else you need to know post a reply or pm me
Cheers
Jeremy

i just got off the phone to a guy i know in the nsw RTA and he says yes it is a no speed limit zone as marked by them with the legal indicating of a sign displaying a black circle with a line through it the only speed limit for the intire road is a bridge which is a forty zone no speed limit otherwise. Don't know if i am going to enter at least not with my car but if i buy stu's car on the weekend i might, and guess what i got a new sports exuast on mine cause the exuast fell off on the way back to canberra (and i mean the entire thing from engine to rear of car i sounded like a truck crossed with a harley)

Ok someone tell me exactly where this stretch of road is? and how long is it? I know you said it is in ok condition, but in your experience/opinion do you know if it is flat enough for high speed about 230 upwards...........

its not really marked so much on many maps but it is about 15 to 20 km's long? rough guess, i doubt it would be the best place for an F1 race but i think it should suit your needs the group can always find the best straight and then have some fun?? if every one can get a handle on a cb it would help a lot. Can't remember where the road is exactly but i know how to get there

I spoke to the NSW Polilce today and they informed me the circle with a line running through it means:
Resume to the National state speed limit. That means 100 kph.
The only state/territory that has no speed restrictions is NT.
If you wish to be that stupid to drive above the speed limit around Easter, with double demerit points available, go for it. I for one will be laughing in your face. However, I would not be encouraging other to be as foolish as this is one way to loose friends.
