Hi Guys,
Just giving this a bump and asking for some support for this meet, we want to make it as big or bigger than the holden Nats and LS1 Nats and currently we havn't got many entries, Street fords are putting up good prize money and a few other major workshops are also sponsoring product. You can download an entry from from http://www.heathcoteraceway.com.au/e...TRY%20FORM.doc
Thanks and Hope to see you all there.
Cheers

Come on people, let's get behind this and make it something that the 'other' camp will talk about. I'm sick of always hearing how good a turnout the Red team always get at these events, time we got there chins wagging.

I will be their whether racing or towing someone who is, maybe both, but it's time we got some serious events, everyone loves the s'n's events, love to talk the talk time to walk it boys.

See you all down their Joanne, Russ and the crew

Cheers
Stef

You save $20 if you email Heathcote Park with your name, it goes on to a list.
Otherwise yes just turn up..

Bugger, my other interest is sucking up this weekend. I'm flying to Canberra for the last Metal 4 The Brain (mega metal+alcohol fest!!) so I can't make it to this great event. To all those that do go, good luck!

Alrighty Ford Forumers, its looking a bit lifeless on our behalf, there seem to be only a very select few who are going. Heathcote does a great job of supporting our AFF drag days, why not return the favour and go to their Ford Nats???

You don't have to race (even though it would be great), just come in and spectate. Don't forget to catch up with some of us from the forums

I'll be there as a spectator. I was stoked when I found it was still on despite the withdrawl of the former sponsor/promoter.

I put this up in the Vic/Tas forum to see if anyone is keen on cruising up, also would give a good indication of numbers, like Melz said they support us so I think it's time we start to repay the favor. Besides that if the venue doesn't see much support for an event there is less chance of them holding another.
