Peter Warren All Ford Day 2008

FASTXR · 07-07-2008, 10:52 PM

Hi everyone,

The Peter Warren All Ford Day is happening on Sunday August 17th at the Warwick Farm racecourse. This is traditionally a HUGE day, with Ford clubs from all over the country taking part.

To say that I've had trouble getting some decent information from the organisers of this event is a major understatement. That said what I have found out is that due to some fairly major renovations, the regular display areas are not being used this year. Instead, the display area will be in front of the grandstand, between (I believe) the grandstand and the track.

Entry is $20 per car and the organisers have said that they prefer pre-payment of entry fees to help them get everyone in as quickly as possible. We can sort that out closer to the event.

We have a number of people who are keen to attend and they will be making it a day trip - they will mosy likely be leaving Canberra at about 4-4.30am

I'd love to attend this one, but I'm not sure its a possibility. Be the first one I've missed in the past 5 years.

Hi everyone,

Please find attached a picture of Warwick Farm racecourse showing where we were last year and where the car displays will be this year (thanks Glenn for knocking this up).

I've finally received information from the organisers about the event, and I have emailed it to all club members. If you haven't received it and would like a copy, PM me and I'll get it straight out to you.

Righto, lets start firming up meeting points and departure times. Richard, when do the guys want us in the gates. I suggest it will be a 2.5 hr drive (max) from the Shell servo at EPIC.

**data_mine** · 13-08-2008, 06:50 PM

So Shell Servo at 6:00 or 5:30? (giving a 8:30 or 08:00 arrival)

Or do we need to be in earlier?

???

big.glenn · 13-08-2008, 07:31 PM

I think we may have to be a little earlier...

If we leave at 5.00am with a stop for breakfast somewhere we should get to Warwick farm around 8.00am...

any sugestions....

The gates open at 6.30am and seeing as room is going to be tight it would be best to get in early.... The gates close for entrants at 9.00am..

dave289 · 13-08-2008, 07:45 PM

roughly how many cars do they usually have on display?

**data_mine** · 13-08-2008, 08:43 PM

hundreds and hundreds.

big.glenn · 13-08-2008, 08:46 PM

Looks like we may have 10 or 11 cars... Plus a 6 x 3 Marquee ( approx another car space )

Hi Guys,

You'll have to take me off, unfortunately I can't be in two places at once even though technically nearly the same place, business flight out of Canberra to Syd booked for 2pm on 17th :(

I think a 0500 start at Shell EPIC sounds good. We'll have some breakfast at either Goulburn or Exeter, and then onto Warrick Farm. See you bright and early. Remember to bring a UHF so you can get involved in the banter. I see Dave C is coming :evil3:

Yep, I'll be cruising at last. The 'T' is as good as gold - phew!

A great day out (as usual).

Here's the first (of many) pics.

Time for me to fire my alarm clock, but the sleep in was good.
