Hi Guys
A reminder that the following event is on Tomorrow, Saturday 27th.
Mods, I hope you do not mind me posting this here.
Please read if at all interested.
"All, This is for people who live in the Canberra region, on behalf of
Michael Attwell:"
"To all those who can make it for a couple of hours there is a Canberra
Motorsport Supporters Group get together and information day, next Saturday
May 27th at Weston Park commencing around 1.00 / 1.30pm.
Al motorsport participants and supporters are welcome, [bring your friends,
family etc] and certainly bring your racer or tricky street transport, 4 or
2 wheels.
A couple of assembly members and sections of the media have been invited.
Information on the current Dragway submissions will be explained with
information on lodgement dates etc in addition to plans for further
motorsport lobbying.
For those who are "gunna" but not registered with the CMSG yet it can be
done on the day if you wish, there is no cost involved.
If any person or business wishes to be a CMSG sponsor that can be discussed
on the day as well.
Remember, there is great strength in numbers so it is your call, the ball
has started rolling and the more that push it the greater chance of positive
outcomes.
Information is available from www.cmsg.org.au click on CMSG information
day for the basic instructions and an entry to a map showing our location.
Trust we see you there, cheers, Michael Attwell for the CMSG."
Cheers

Was OK, could of been bigger, but drags at WSID and V8 reserve grade at Wakefield could have affected numbers. These things have to start somewhere, and it was a good start. Phil took some pics.

I agree with Yella, the day could have been bigger and was organised a bit late for many I suspect. I spoke to the organisers and they estimated the crowd at 200 and were happy with the turnout - what else could they say
I am sure the day will not do any harm to our cause and if the people who were present all put in their submissions then it could do a lot of good. I didn't notice any TV camera's present which is a shame.
I only counted 5 drag cars prsent and honestly thought a good deal more would have turned up as a show of support.
I only took a few photo's so lets hope Phil can add his photo's or at least one of us might be able to post them for him. The car park had some very nice cars in it and the Ford performance group ( I am not sure but think that might be their title) had a few good looking vehicles there too.
Cheers

Hi Tiny, sorry mate I promise to do that in the future, I did have some advance notice of this BBQ but at that stage it was more dream or thought than a reality, it was not until it was upon us did we know it was on for sure. To be honest I too had forgotten about the BBQ until one of my Bro in Laws phoned me and asked if it was still happening. I had invited him along when I first heard of it.
There will be more protests and events of that you can be certain!
I was talking to some of the organisers there and apparantly a lot of the guys present at the BBQ were the very same guys who held BBQ's and other events to get WSID off the ground in much the same manner. Let us all hope that it is as succesful as previously proved.
I can't speak for Struggler but I reckon WSID will still draw the Canberra guys, we would be fools to run events that clash with other decent drag meetings. I am sure that won't happen.
I visited another Drag Racer friend today 'Dave Gruber' he owns and runs the Torana - Strip Rat! He only found out on Wednesday about Saturdays bash and unfortunately he had other plans.
I did ask some friends to send Dave an email but it seems it never got there as they all said "ahh no need, he will know what is on!"
I still don't have Daves email addy but he is coming to see me and the UC one day next week so I will make sure I get all his details then.
Cheers and apologies again to Tiny

Will do Keith, we would love to have you, tiny and anybody else who is interested attend, the more the merrier and the better our chances of being successful.
I am sure the Drag racing fraternity and motor sports people in general appreciate your interest.

Hey guys, if you want to see a few more shots taken at the CMSG BBQ (Dragway Supporters BBQ) go to the Canberra Torana Club Website (see the link below) then click on 'photo gallery' and then click on photo's and run reports, then click CMSG BBQ and you will see the photo's that Phil took.
They are well worth a look, some nice cars there.
Cheers
