Its being held at burswood dome sat and sunday.. unsure of entry fees etc..
I'm sorta going for trophies but not really coz the car is currently up for sale as I just took ownership of a 4x4 turbo calibra so need to sell it. BUT if I get a trophie out of it its even more of a bonus and the only catagory that I think that I would have a chance is "best imported GM".. will see how I go.. come and say hi if you come down!!

cheers

just to let yas know the car was at the show all weekend and I was there also.. (very bored mind you) managed to take out the state champion GM import.. not surprising tho really as it was the ONLY gm import there..hahah ahh well..

cheers

But you got a nice little trohpy riiiight? Smile

I didn't end up going, i couldn't be arsed going out in the heat. I can't believe that you were the only import there though..

now that i think about it, what other imports would there be?

yer I got a nice lil trophie..

in a way I feel it was a waste of $15 that ppl payed to get in as it was a rather small show, very well organised tho.. best part was seeing eddy castoni (sp?) VH commadore pull 1300+ BHP on the dyno with 1 stuffed turbo..

well if there are any show vectras/barinas or american imports like camaros silverardos etc they would have been eligable but none turned up so good for me I guess

was all good fun and hopefully I have sold my car from it too..

cheers
