here's some directions from sydney-central coast.
NESCA OVAL Galgabbee rd Swansea.so coming from Doyalson when you get to macca's round-about you go left then follow the old Pacific Hwy,
about 1 or 2 km and it's on the right. There should be signs there any way.

could this event be cancelled due to rain ...cause i had seen it on the event's calendar a long while back but i think it's been taken off  but i don't remember which one i saw it on ..

[CyCo]

Haven't heard anything Dave. As far as I know, it's still on. I don't think Iv'e ever seen it on the Show & Shine site, but it's usually on Pinky's site.



Address/directions;

Bargoed House,Galgabbee Rd, Old Pacific Hwy Swansea (south of Newcastle).

Basically, head north on the F3 until you get to the Doylson/Budgeowi turn off. Take that and head up along the Pacific Highway for about 20k's. Keep going until you get to a large roundabout with a McDonalds on the left, just after the road immediately left at the roundabout (your friendly GPS would say something like "take the first left at the next roundabout). By this stage you should see plenty of HotRods, mini trucks, Mustangs, Corvettes, Packards, MG's etc. Stay on that same road you just turned onto (the McD's will now be on your right, unless you pulled in there for breakfast) for about 1k. There should be a que to turn right into the bush. 

It says $5 for all vehicles, but I'm not sure it that's for those vehicles participating in the S&S, or as well as lookers on. It could be a gold coin donation for spectators. Not sure.

Pay the man at the gate, and creep along the track (especially in a low slung 'reek. lol). Parking for spectators is just before the actual oval. Keep an eye out for any 'reeks you see. If Darren manages to get our 'traditional' spot, it will be along the access track under the trees near the water, but on the oval side.


Darren, know if Anthony is going to take his 'reek out of mothballs?

[cruetoone]

ohh i have seen that notice an cheer's for the link....

[CyCo]

Darren, can you keep us updated if it's on or postponed (the 15th according to their flyer), I'll be checking early sunday if it's still on or not.  


 

[redreek(the stig)]

I was going to ring the fellow up and see if it is still on(i hope it is because the 14th is no good for me)they have stuffed up 15th is the monday.
anyway will let you's know.

[cruetoone]

it's been raining since tuesday night  down here last night the winds picked up an the thunder kicked in an a blackout occured an rain bucketed down towards midnight last night.

[CyCo]

Ah, of course the 15th is the monday, 14th (valentines) is the sunday. Bad day to have the S&S one too.

We've had some rain during the week Dave, but not that much, unless you count this afternoon, Full thunderstorm, most of the local traffic lights were down, blackouts scattered around the place. Lasted maybe 2 hours then blew it self out. Man was it muggy after that. Still is.

Thanks for that Darren, I'll be keeping an eye on the forums for the update. 

[The Metalsmith]

I can't make this now.
                                     Besides the weather being a large factor, I have a big industry rep (HKS!! OMG! (falls to the ground and grovels pathetically) ) coming to inspect a full carbon fibre race car in my workshop on the Sunday (the WRX, Andrew!).

The car is an extreme dollar/no limits example being built for one purpose: to win the first international Time Attack series taking place in Oz in May. There are a few major sponsors on board for this project already but the main guy is tommorrow.

My business name will be all over this car. I was going to upload a pic of it but security begs me different. Apologies for the bad timing but I'm thinking there's a large chance the Mad Show and Shine will be rained out anyway. Sorry guys.
