Maclean’s Bridge at Lakeside Sports and Classic car Festival... and new activities hand-in-hand with the traditional, and definitely not to be missed.

• Sports and Classic Car Display – all classic sports and related vehicles in a tableau of automobile glamour and history. Sports car marques actually displayed on a racetrack –not to be missed!

• Concours d’Elegance – a serious event for exceptional cars. A unique Circuit d’Elegance – ten finalists in a parade around the racetrack. Details on the event website (see below). A Concours around a racetrack, possibly the World’s first – not to be missed!

• A Restoration Theatre – experts show their skills for DIY restorers. So, when enthusiasm exceeds competence, the DIY restorers will know who to call – not to be missed!

• Track time – for serious sports car drivers. Lakeside Raceway busy with all marques of classic sports cars in the year of the 50th anniversary of the Raceway. What a photo opportunity -- not to be missed!

• Guest classes – for heritage vehicles. See what may be the parents and grandparents of the classic sports cars – not to be missed!

Mclean's Bridge at Lakeside?? .... hahaha, I had to read that a couple of times to make sure I got it right.
Are you displaying or spectating? If the former then I'll do the same, if the latter, can I hitch a ride?

Your plan sounds good.

I will try and make it. Don't think I will be there though for the early start.
Cheers Novice1

Thanks for holding a space for me Neil but you may wish to offer it to someone else..

While the event itself was well promoted the lack of motivation from within the SEQ MX5 community has prompted me to create Plan "B".

A few forumite friends,a spirited drive,a couple of beers and some homestyle pork ribs at one of the best views in brisbane has become the better option.

Have a great day there

The boss should be there in the NC, while I will hopefully make the trip in the Elan.

WOW!

Never seen a car display like it.
HUGE!
Got sick of taking pics, but here is a small sample - certainly doesnt do the day justice.
