Yer atleast it should hold quite a few cars there.. bit hard to monitor people coming and going though..

Is there an entry fee for the puplic??

Cheers.

Aaron was a great guy, I was lucky enough to have a chat with him for a while. Beautiful car too, a great display by a genuine bloke.

It will hold shirtloads of cars! and trucks......and people......

there is a gold coin donation for public, and while we're not going to enforce it *that* much, given that it goes to charity I would expect most people to be fair and pitch in. As much as I'd love to use the AFD money to put a blower on my ute, every single cent of it goes to charity, literally the Monday after the show.

[ROOSTA]

Yer he came across as a good bloke.. I had to inform him of the all ford day but he has a big work commitment on that weekend so doesn't think he will be making it..

Also after the heat on saturday and apparent lack of trees i am trying to work out a large shade tent so that it is possible to escape the sun.. i can't believe how hot it felt..

EVERY ONE PACK YOUR SUN SCREEN!!!.. LOL..

Cheers,
Nik

[ten[A]cio[U]s]

Yeah i am with ROOSTA, Wagga gets crazy hot in the summer. I will be brining a big cover / tent thing too. Last year a went pink for a few days.

But definatly bring the sun screen.

[b2tf]

I'm looking in to getting some large gazebo type setups for the day just to give everyone a bit more shade, will let you know.

[1FLYRYD]

yeah we all know that your car is loud stop bragging nik!!!! as for shade tents what a great idea nik i'm gunna invite myself into yours lol. Who else is gettin a Wagga AFD window sticker?? TE50 and I are. Is there any judged events?? if so what are the catergories??

Cheers Nathan

[b2tf]

Albury to Wagga is maybe a bit over an hour if that, no way it is 1hr 45mins!

[kyro_02]

hopefully i'll make it in time, i am going to go to qld probably head off on monday week.. stay there until about the 1st of next month and come back down and come to AFD on the way through

[The G6ET Spot]

From Werribee to Wagga you will be able to do it in under 5 hours.Used to do Wagga to Campbellfield in a little over 4 hours in the truck at the speed limit.Not to bad of a drive.DO IT youll enjoy yourself.

[XR82GO]

We have one the same as Buckies in the club trailer that is coming down so might have to set up together Buckie and have more shade.

[Bucknaked]

Is your tent as good as the Tickford Tent. Like does it do stuff? Like give Shade????

[1FLYRYD]

Try this...
Tullamarine- Wagga 4 3/4hrs driving time.
Brisneyland -Wagga 14hrs driving time.
Laverton -Brisneyland appx 19hrs driving time

Does that help

(Times taken from a speed limited B-double.)

That sounds like a good plan to me. The dinner on the Saturday night - we'll probably end up making plans for everybody on that one.

[b2tf]

Dick Johnson and Grant Denyer are appearing on the day, going to be fantastic to meet these 2 drivers especially after Grant's result at Bathurst!

I assume that allowances will be made for the more 'senior' entrants with alzheimer's ?

[b2tf]

[GasoLane]
