Is anyone planning on going to this? April 15th out at Willowbank, sounds like a good day. Thinking of heading out myself.

Sounds interesting. Might have to look at getting a crew together and make a vw cruise out of it as well.

I'm thinking of taking a trip down. I fancied a trip down the strip as part of the test and tune, until I read that you must have seat belts, considering vans didn't have them in 57. Maybe I could turn up wrapped in bubble wrap and velcro'd to the van.

I went to this last year and it was huge, give yourself a whole day there's tonnes to see and do

Good idea !! There was a few vw's , last year .
Get there real early , fills up very very fast .
Test & tune runs for 2hours only .
Remember $10 per person in your car ( except kids)
and $5 for the car .

Is a huge day .

It's on tomorrow , so who is going !
Get there early for a good spot .It's going to be a big big day .

Probably not going now due to weather & other commitments. See what happens though. If it's a clear day in the morning, may still head out.

Here are some pics from yesterday.
I didn't take many at all. Lot of American Muscle cars but some cool ones I hadn't seen in the flesh before.
My favourite is the Midget Sprint car with Hillborn methanol injection
The drag bug is Simon Holgerson's old bug up for sale as you can see.

Sure was a great day ! very little rain at willowbank , didn't keep the street machine people and cars away . I'd say least 500 plus cars .
Only one street ratty black beetle there , good on your mate . Real sad the vw people stayed away , :sniffle:
Here are my pics
