A motor sport event in Yarrawonga?
I spent 15 years of my life there and the only motor sport event done was bush bashing through the common and bruces bend which came to stop when they fenced everything off.

Co-piloting in All Points North Racing's entry this year- we'll be the Port Hedland team (well one of them!) Not 100% which car Leigh's going to run yet

Great cause, get behind it guys. Terrific event- Bathurst

Entries are now full for 2014

With 50 cars it's almost a straight split between Fords and Holdens with a few Vals and Minis to break it up!

Now with a full house we just need your support to reach our target to help the Leukaemia Foundation provide vital patient support services.

To choose a team to support visit,
www.aussiemusclecarrun.com

Or an easy choice could be to go straight to Gary's Tourers,

Yep, after having been involved in the inaugural event in 2012, it's an awesome event for a great cause. And yes as National as the AFL's early years!

One of the examples why we are raising the money...
The Leukaemia Foundations Mission to Care
When blood cancer changes the lives of thousands of Australian families every year, we are ready to help them to face the challenges ahead and many simple aspects of life become complex when a person is diagnosed. Our services help to reduce the burden on the individual and their family, so that they can focus on their treatment and the things they enjoy. All support is provided free of charge.

Hey Guys,

if you're interested in having a bit of an event in Wagga while you're here drop me a PM. I am Sales Manager at Autobarn here and I'm sure we could do something to help raise some funds and promote the event too.

We will be getting signwriting for our XWGT started in 2 weeks time.

There are still some panels left for vehicle sponsorship.

100% of your Sponsorship or donation $$$ goes to the Leukaemia Foundation(Tony and I are funding the running cost of the trip).

Sponsorship open to business/work social club/sporting club/car club/product manufacturer or any individual with a message to promote(within reason).

The van is on its way to Adelaide for the run. CEVA came to the party with a huge discount to get the car from Perth to SA. As of yesterday the total raised to date was $352K with the run and two weeks to go, great result.

I nearly forgot about this. I went out & got a few shots of the cars racing down conrod. It was awesome stuff, & I will post some shots up soon.

Well done to everyone in this event. Its great to see so much enthusiasm to help the Leukaemia Foundation.

Here are some of my shots of bbcoupe's XW GT Falcon & jimt3te50's Perkins Enzed VK car #11.

Sorry I couldn't say hi but I was helping with the flagging & getting a couple of sneaky pics on the side.











Here are some more pics from the supersprint at Bathurst. I'm pretty sure I got pics of all of the cars, so if there are any you would like to see let me know.
