I spoke to the organiser. I have two problems i have to overcome:

1. Summernats is the weekend before. I think I will struggle to do both back to back 1 weekend after the other, in both cost and time away from work

2. Cost. So far i am looking at $3K for the car to be professional shipped both ways....I am looking at alternatives

I am serious about trying to get there, just need all the stars aligned....

[69SS]

Maybe some of the westoz forum member would chip in to help with the cost Chris, I know I would if it meant seeing your beast in the flesh, or even a quick jolly !! :-)

[TUFF68]

2. Cost. So far i am looking at $3K for the car to be professional shipped both ways....I am looking at alternatives

I hear ya Chris, it's not a cheap exercise, cost me more than $3k just in fuel for my road trip earlier in the year. Some alternatives - Sponsorship, USMuscle fund raising, donations ???

[cluxford]

Marty, sponsorship is one option. I have approached PPG given it's covered in layers of their product...waiting to hear back...

[TUFF68]

Anyone else entered or heading down for a look this weekend ?

[pedro]

Marty,
I am heading down all weekend as I have entered the 57 pick up
will see ya there
pete

[YenkoSC]

I'm going down on the Sunday for a look, just hoping it isn't too hot.

[Sniperoz]

Yep I'll be there, just not in the chevelle
Just waiting on the speedo corrector for final
inspection.

[kamaro]

I'll be there on Sat for a look,Hopefully it will stay at 28c for Sat not like the sweltering weekend of last year.

[S[_]SPECT]

Last year was hot as...
More so for some..

[Twisted67]

$42 isn't it Marty..... Bloody ripoff :rolleyes:

Doubt i'll be going this year. Only way will be via a free pass on Saturday as it's my shift change day ;)

No paying $155 per ticket to a Chris Isaac concert for my parent outlaws is a rip off' let alone the torture I would have to endure. Now $42 to look at boobs and burnouts all day is good value. I was at motorvation today and checked out your ride Marty, very nice mate. Absolute mad burnout by that orange blown VP ute i think it was "wanna go". It was killing me not being able to bring my car, maybe next year.
So yep a good day all round but still got sunburnt even though it was a cooler day.

[S[_]SPECT]

I didn't stick around for all of the supercruise.. but Marty's street car was by far the tuffest sounding..

Plenty of nice cars, but dominated by late models

I went down late this afternoon for a look see...
Lucky I didnt pay to get in!!

if you like pre-75 cars you'll be very disappointed, the cars I saw were awesome but the numbers of pre75 stuff were low.
10-15 camaros, 3 chevelles, a couple of dodge chargers, 1 mustang:eek:, 10 or so hot rods, a handfull of 55-57 chevs.
even early holden and falcon stuff was getting light on the ground.

Out of 700 cars I guess I thought there would be a little more older cars

Hopefully next year we can get a few of the members on here down for entry......the Cranksters hot rod club ( I am a member) are going to have another shot I think, we went 4 years ago with 20 cars and had a great time, but none of us felt we should do it every year

[Sniperoz]

I agree Alan just not enough late model commodores there really :)

Great to meet Marty and see the cars they looked awesome as did Angelos.

I think Motorvation need to cut it down for quality not quantity.

Its the first time I have been since it was at Burswood so I have missed a few :P

Not much trade stuff there either, always nice to see goodies to buy.

Justin in his Commodore ute certainly had the crowd going with his firey burnout so that was definitely a highlight.

[AUSCAMARO]

Well C'Mon.. Where's the pics already... I've seen some of the 68 Charger already.... if ya know what I mean ;P Living Dolls and all...

We were there Sunday.. I think the temp was more like 36 :eek: My legs got rather burnt.

Sounds like Marty's action was mostly Saturday, bugger we couldnt make it that day & for some reason we missed you & the beasts in pits yesterday. Truthfuly we didnt get through all the cars as it meant we were missing the action out on the track :confused:

I took some 200+ photos & have put most up on facebook, links here:

Sorry I dint get any of the Living Doll girl flashing.

There were def lots of late model Holdens, but everyone looked to be having lots of fun.

Next year we hope to get the el Camino & Cuda involved.

Some great pics there. Had a great weekend, always a lot of fun when i get behind the wheel of the race car. Kept the smaller tyres on the rear for most of the weekend as i was having too much fun :D The streeter came home a little bruised though :o

Caught up with quite a few forum members during the weekend for a chat as well.

[AUSCAMARO]

Couple of REAL neat pics of Marty's car...

635 was the highest overall Mitch, by a Torana i think it was (forced induction). None of the late model big HP boys were there this year - not sure why. They gave me a couple of dust collectors for highest BB naturally aspirated which was 513hp & highest naturally aspirated overall. Thought it would be a little more but was also expecting to lose some hp with with the mufflers on as well.

I noticed they didnt use a fan whilst vehicles were on the dyno either....

I had a call yesterday from the people at motorvation to say that I won a trophy, but I wasnt at the presentation as I left early becouse I thought I had no chance of winning anything so I went to the web site to check the results to find out I got runner up ute, and a spot in the top 10 whitch was a compleate suprise (not bad for a work truck)

[TUFF68]

A big congrats on the Top 10 award Pete, well deserved :)

[pedro]

Thanks Marty,
And same goes for the wins on the dyno, it was worth passing on the miss motorvation drive then

[YenkoSC]

Congrats Pete on the award.

A photo of yours Marty from Jordan:
