Set up the cars in the same spot as last year, not sure on exact number, but was 18 I think. All cars looking brilliant despite crap weather. Some other nice rides near by from the Mustang Club, E Series and Forums. I must also congratulate the enemy, the HSV Owners Club, their display was quite good also.

After a last minute clean of my ride I planted my butt in the grand stand and enjoyed the entertainment. Early highlights were the drift cars, the Castrol Stunt plane and the fly over by the FA-18 Hornet. Then the race and a awesome result. Go FORD!

All in all a great day for Ford and the club. Some new faces and cars in the display. Some more eager Ford enthusiasts. I cannot wait for All Ford Day next year!
Yes well said Jase, a great effort by all the ORSM members that attended to make the effort to make our stand look i think the best there. Very windy day that made it a little uncomfortable but geez yawn boring watching that sort of racing for me. If only the rain came an hour earlier to make it at least interesting.

And a huge thanks to the guys that helped me with the funny car as i can't do it by myself, cheers guys i will shout you a krispy kreme donut each next time.

Cheers Craig
