All ford day qld.

Its on again this time at qld raceway not kedron.
I have knocked the dust off the capri, filled it with premium and will head out about six tomorrow(20th). A fair trip this year, might take an hour and a half to get there. Hopefully meet up with the capri boys opposite the BP so as to arrive in convoy.
For most of the trip I will be with a couple of falcon xa xb coupes one in red pepper same as mine and the other in mulberry.
Then for the home run we are thinking of cruising up the brisbane valley highway to kilcoy and home from there.
We are looking forward to the new venue it promises to be more interesting(1/4 mile runs) but i hope its not too dusty and windy. See you there,...ron.

Well its all over for another year and what a great show. The cars were parked in the pit area for the drags so there was plenty of asphalt to walk on. There was a band with a quite adequate sound system and from eleven on entrants were running the strip, so not just a static display but plenty of action too. I think they underestimated the crowds because the food outlets had long ques all day.
Unfortunately my capri was a late scratching because something in the front left suspension came loose on the saturday and it was a bit far to go with bad steering shake. Never mind i hopped in a xb coupe and enjoyed the trip down. We got there after a pretty cold trip with no heater. I jumped out thinking i will warm up now but what the--
it was minus 2, i thought i was gunna die.
Soon the capris started to roll in and i was wondering how many would make it because i knew that not many from the northside would be there but eventualy about 10 lined up with a couple of new ones(to me) and a few more in the paddock. Not so bad for us. One of the pleasures of the day is to catch up with the capri boys and see what theyve all been up to. A pretty good mix of capris too fom v6 to 4 cyl, factory spec to modified, lots of different ideas.
Other cars? yeh its an all ford show so there were hundreds of them even an immaculate ford T which used to be a taxi in ipswich 100 years ago.
Next year promises to be even better now that there is room to expand and spectators can see cars in action, resolve now to be there.
I have some pics of the capri lineup, i will post them soon.  Cheers,.....ron.
