20th show but shouldn't 2014 be the 20 years show since it was started in 1994 ?
Don't forget to count 1994 as the first year and not 1995 as the start of the first year

Ok it is on like donkey kong
Nah its not. We arnt going to bother this year. Less stress, more time to sleep in, more room in the cars and more time leading up to the event to put into the car instead of a display.
Cheers,
T

Old Harry F will be 95 on April 18 and if I can reach that age, I'd be very happy and I would still be a TF whore even if I had I had to get there in a motorized wheel chair

Just letting you all know that Moto Farm will have drinks and a BBQ going on the Saturday prior to the cruise for you to purchase.
The cruise itself will take the same route as last year ( without the road works) with the ice cream van and coffee van waiting for us at Stockton.
It would be great to break the 100 mark for the cruise!!!!!
Thanks to all that have pre enterd so far!
More updates to follow
regards Pete

Hi all just received some great news Ned and Bruce Nowacki have just informed me that they wish to launch their NEW BOOK at this years Toranafest.
The book at the moment has the working title of " Bush to Bathurst" and focuses on Bruces life from a small Victorian Country town to the great days at Bathurst through the Golden era of motor racing in this country as mechanics for the HDT
The boys have great stories to tell so it should be a great read.
I believe that Bev Brock will be writing a forward in the book and Bev will be also at Toranafest.
I will give more details as they come to hand
pre entries ar now just short of 180..
Regards
Pete Morris

About bloody time for that book and some of the thanks should go to Gary (LC69GTR) for his part in getting their memoirs down for all of us to share
I can remember at Toranafest 2010 when James Brock made his first appearance and it was after the Meet 'n Greet BBQ, Gary and I was sitting outside the Nowacki bros room with James listening to their stories on the 1979 Repco Around Australia Trial of which Peter won and Holden Commodore came 1, 2 & 3
The stories were fantastic and James was soaking it all up like Gary and I was.
Gary even said back then that Ned & Bruce should put pen to paper so that these memories would not be lost.
I for one will be in the line up to get a copy, have it signed by the boys and hopefully by Bev too
