i think it will be held at the same motel as last time,
date, 9th - 12th of april, the whole easter weekend,
i dont think the events have been sorted out AS YET, but im pretty sure the show'n'shine will be at dubbo toyota same as last time.
if the drags are held which is pretty likely, then id say they would be at the same drag strip as before,
aaaaaaaaaaanyways, id need to get some rock solid info before talking about any other events, ie motorkhana....
cheers chris

the witzl will be there for sure!
no celica though Its got no fuel injection yet, and i dont get to see it until march so its not likely to happen by then!
THere WILL be a fast little black AE71 however, hopefully with an interior and stereo by then (else Karl will go crazy)

Want to try to get there this year.
There were some great stories from last year & I haven't been to Dubbo since I moved to Sydney from Moree.
Still sounds like a place where you have to make you're own fun.

I would not miss it for the world. I have a title to defend, and a bone to pick with one Maroon Cortina. It's NOT a Toyota (ha ha not really - I just like to talk it up). But I do come armed..... And I think that there will be some people better prepared to deal with 1 x meddling yellow corolla
Where do we register?

I'd love to be there to show you all what a modded RAV4 can do. It's one step closer to being rebuilt today, it goes in for the work on the block, head, valves and polished crank. I'm looking for a new clutch to put on it so it's all fully balanced when it leaves the workshop. The old clutch was a brass button clutch, which was worn down to the buttons. This thing would have broken my foot off on changes, so I'm looking for something that's in between stock and brass button.

Norbie, it will be a pleasure to see you and an absolute delight to race you again. I look forward to seeing how the Supra runs with some better gear to show its true worth, and I do not underestimate the ability of the package.

Looks like that link is working .... the form is a downloadable/printable PDF (Acrobat) file. This will be the first time I've ever taken a car drag racing. Guess I'll need a tailshaft loop... are open-faced helmets ok for drags? Gotta pop by Revolution Racegear for one. What are typical clothes to wear for a drag race?
Not really a cheap weekend is it. Fuel to get to the event and back, $65 to get into the Show & Shine AND the drags (cheaper for just the S&S) gotta have a T-shirt too.. accommodation...... do we go for an economical room like a family room with 4 single beds, etc.? How does that get worked out?
