Hey Sammy Ray would be there too if he had his little hillclimb car finished too...he was a bit hesitant about the kms to Mildura..then he read there are some boat racing out there on sunday so hence were making the trip out :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
...then on Monday were heading north to Broken Hill to check out the mad max museum..looking forward to that too.
Ray head some news the the new section of the ringwood track may not be open due to the cams guys saying it wasn't up to regulations...so it may just be the old short track...u will still have fun anyway...a day out with your favorite toys is better than working ! :D :D :D
Maybe see you at the 2015 40th Van Nats in bathurst then?
-
yeah I've heard Mildura is a good easter weekend away, speedway is on a few nights there too if your into that... my mate races there every year, I think even the drags are on too ?
your right about the Ringwood track, only the old part of it, but I'm taking a drag car there with different wheels so it's all for the fun of it so I don't mind what track is available :)
van nats in 2015 is probably doable :)
-

I was joined with another bedford owned by Cris and Rose from canberra.
We meet Brett, James, JB , Stuart and John from BUGA...nice of everyone coming up and saying hello.
I have been welcomed into the Majestic Vanners club...and Russell/Rusty set me up in front the the Majestic group and told me the space next to me was reserved for another van...a little mini van LOL! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
it looked so cute next to my van! Stuart's son asked him if he could have one...Stuart replied..."its not a toy son " ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Awesome Photo's Wendy, much appreciated!!!

Good to see lots of street vans there, I think we lost the plot back in the 80s, to much focus on the display instead of the van, hope it never goes back there, it was a real pain carting all that stuff, sometimes I had to have a trailer just for the display
