[Hell Fire]

Oh damnit, 9am?! so early. oh well, still in

[GTRgeoff]

I see plenty of lookers but not many more coming alng......

[Lunatikk]

I'll be there

[Hell Fire]

Where on cootha are we meeting up? There's a few carparks around the place, don't want to end up driving around there over and over again looking

[GTRgeoff]

Cruise meeting spot: Lakeside Cafe', Mt Coot-tha Botanical Gardens, Toowong @ 9am - Depart time: 10am -- Cruisers must sign event registration at cafe' (parking in lot opposite entrance)

[Bunta]

seeing as I am lazy and couldn't be bothered reading (and am apparently retarded because I have 300rwkw) do we all have to fill in the form? Ie is everyone on the cruise automatically entered in the show and shine? I am thinking about coming but due to drinking tonight it is no sure thing.

[R33S2]

Well my plans for Sunday have changed, so i will be there at the botanical gardens at 9am.

The cruise is meeting in the car park at Mt Coot-tha Botanical Gardens, which is at the bottom of the hill, where the big glass hot-house thingy is, and the planetarium - that you can see from the freeway. NOT on top at the lookout cafe'.

There's also a car park directly across the road from the main entrance of the Botanical Gardens.

Everyone who particpates in the cruise and/or the show'n'shine must register first. The $2 covers you for the cruise, show'n'shine and entry, if you just want to have a look. You automatically are entitled to everything, but you are not required to do everything. Its all optional.

If you want to do just the cruise or both, obviously you'll have to get to the Botanical Gardens early to get your registration fee in.

If you only want to do the show'n'shine, just turn up at Lakeside and register and pay there. The cruisers will be expected to arrive around 11am, so if you going this way, then you might want to think about coming a lttle earlier or a little after 11:30am

Im just trying to get my head around what this entails. Do we get to drive on the track, and do burnouts/drifts/skids and stuff? Or is it just a car show to support the reopening of lakeside?

Damn it!! Woke up sick as a dog and looked at the clock and it is 10am already. Hope it all goes well.

[pnk32]

awesome event Scott

great turnout, great cruise

some really nice looking cars there

numbers there i think doubled expectation (maybe even more)

sounds promising about it re-opening

great day

thanks

F**k all SAUers but. peoples you missed out on a top event

[TezzaGT-R]

Hey guys just got back from lakeside and i gotta say it looks awesome. I hope the turnout was enough to get it reopened.There was about 6 of us there from SAU that i could recognise. I saw GTRgeoff, R33 S2, pnk32, s!k 31 and a couple of other skylines, including my R32 GT-R and my mates R33 GTST. For turnout we got hammered by the old school muscle and rotor crowds, but they were all so friendly and made positive comments on our cars so it was great anyway. Some of the show n shine cars were joking i hope, as i saw a bog standard late 80's falcon with the bonnet up amongst the showcars. :laughing-smiley-014: Oh and you guys are so friendly im coming to as many SAU events as i can from now on (work might give me some trouble but thats what sickies are for). Next time i hope to meet more of you.

What an outstanding turnout. I'm gobsmacked but absolutely amazed by the amount of support.

A really friendly day and I don't think it could happen elsewhere. I talked to heaps of enthusiasts, got around the track with Noel and Chris for a walk and relived some old times.

Pine Rivers, time to stop holding out. Re-open the track dammit. What greater message do you need? I think there was more there than for the stupid Copper support march.

Thanks for the efforts by the Lakeside Motor Racing Enthusiasts for their great efforts in raising the profile of the plight of our track.

[subzeroR33]

Shit im pissed off i had to miss it due to work, sounds promising by all the responses.

[FineLine]

Twas a great day indeed. So many ghosts in that place. The track is still in remarkable condition given the years of neglect. Mow the lawn and go racing actually.

Great representation from most car clubs and a stunning turnout from the bike fraternity. Even the organisers were taken short by the numbers that turned out on the day.

If the powers that be cant see the absolute neccesity of reopening that place after today then it is doomed.

[GTRgeoff]

Perhaps the council members need to be campaigned against at the next election using this as a stick to beat them and drive them out of office.

[Green_s13]

if my car was working i would have been there, but sounds like it was a good day.
