Grand Prix Display

[ashneel]

hey guys

just wanted to know if SAU vic will be setting up a display for the grand prix this year???

[adznight]

I could be wrong her BUT - I don't think Autosalon are doing a sdisplay this year but I beleive CAMS is and it's free entry too, I'm not really sure on the requirements and who'll be eligible though. I'm sure somone will have details though....*twiddles thumbs*

[adznight]

I stand corrected - just got the e-mai lol.

Auto Salon hosts a HIGH-TECH performance Automotive Show on the Golf Course Fairway (that's right people we're back on the golf course) only metres from the back straight. It's a great weekend for everyone to catch up and a good excuse to check out the race. This year, it falls on the 26th - 29th March.

Its a fantastic opportunity for all us car lovers to bring the Auto Salon Event Series fourth and show what we're all about and we've got to offer. It also gets the year started for all you Victorians as your Auto Salon round won't be back in Melbourne until the 2nd half of the 2009.

All show and shine competitors receive the following:

* One Official Grand Prix 4 day Accreditation Pass

* One General Admission 4 day Pass

* The chance to win one of the 15 trophies awarded in various categories

* It will also allow you to watch 'THE WHOO' concert from the General Admission Area

That's over $350.00 worth of value for less than 1/2 price!!

Entry costs $160 for a private car or $140 if you are a club and have 6 or more cars attending. As a bonus, interstate competitors get discounted entry at $100.00. No matter how you look at it that's a saving and even more reasons to come along.

Cars will need to be at the venue on Wednesday 25th March and must remain at the Auto Salon Stand until Sunday 29th March (7:30pm).

The entry form is attached and due to the short notice we ask you to please fill in and RETURN ASAP to ENSURE PARTICIPATION as there are limited spots available.

cool

so anyone doing it??? enter as a club liek the last few years??? i wouldnt mind entering lol

[R31Nismoid]

SAU-Vic at this stage, wont be attending.

Between the two offers - CAMS/Cabin… they both cannt confirm where the cars will be located.

After the rather 'poor' location leading to cars being covered from nose to tail in brown dust (as they were parked on DIRT)... until the position is actually confirmed as grass, pavement or other suitable area for a car show'n'shine/displace. We've told these two bodies we really are not interested.

Honestly I would never want to put members and their cars in the situation that occurred last year. It was nothing short of appauling.

I dont think its fair to ask people with expensive paint work and so on to park in a dirt area for 4 days.

I believe Cabin have 'said' it will be on the grass like years before... but until I see that in writing we are not going to accept that as things have been 'said' in past years and we know better

Hopefully that clarifies the situation a little better for you and the goings on in the background that Bec/myself have been dealing with the last 2 months on/off

Cheers

Ash - Cabin HAVE said it will at the old location.

[R31Nismoid]

Yes we will post up.

It will be last minute but Cabin have only just sent emails etc so its not like they are anymore organised

[R31Nismoid]

Ash - Cabin HAVE said it will at the old location.

oic - i didnt really read what you copy/pasted

No doubt we'll organise

[adznight]

Ash you know as well as I do that Cabin (apparently now Status Corporation - shows out out on the loop I am ) are simply the most organised bunch ever to grace the car scene!

Alisa said she told them she refused to organise it if was where they were last year.

[ashneel]

[evade]

i guess the money saved by NOT modifying my car makes up the difference in entry

[DNGRUS]

[ashneel]

[DNGRUS]

[180Roman]

sounds like prety good value for a 4 day pass and more

[ashneel]

hahaha awesome

so ye id be keen to put my car up for display if we go in as a group and it meets any requirements needed.

[CAJFLY]

i wouldnt mind putting my car in. its not one of the best 33's but i think it looks ok. so if i pass requirements put me down. cheers

[Do-Luck]

Bought a grandstand ticket this year, so definately not putting my car in. Hopefully you guys end up putting some cars in so I have some people to talk shit with (and drink with).

They jacked the price up a bit this year though!
