Hi James,

All model-specific awards (best X/E/AU etc, ute, FPV, Euro etc) are voted on by those showing on the day.

In addition, we have a number of sponsor's awards that are decided by the sponsors themselves (John McGrath Ford, Shannons etc) and we also have a People's Choice Award where we take votes from any member of the public that is there on the day.

Cheers,

Richard

Good pics as usual, shame I missed this 1 but the email from 1 of the organising members at 7:30 that morning informing me that the event had been cancelled due to bad weather wasn't appreciated. Oh well, next time.

Come on Ratman, like you'd get out of bed on cold wet windy Sunday morning. Your most likely to still be in bed, or at best sitting on the lounge in your robe, slippers on ya feet, smoking your pipe while reading the Sunday paper.

Did it rain on Sunday? It was like that but with rain in Sydney, nasty weather all over the east coast. One thing about it though, it made for some great pics of the cars. The lighting is awesome and with the sky above, it looks tops.

Anybody got anymore general shots for the website? I'll see most of you at dinner on Saturday for a catch up.

Yeah it rained on and off all morning, cleared up from about 11:00 but was still overcast/dark.

Here's two more.
