Next up we are over to the Mount Gambier Valvoline Autofest, South Australia on the all new date of January 28th and 29th 2012.

me and a few boys might be heading up for a look!! just need to find some decent accomodation!!

deca ftw

I like the new setup, but it just seems small compared to deca. Having it in the town seems to cause more traffic problems too. Seating and shade at Deca would have helped. It is too late now though, with all of those new estates

You will soon find the winners list from the 2011 Valvoline Springnats listed into the results section of the Springnats page at www.autofest.com.au (http://www.autofest.com.au). By all reports very little negative feedback through all media has been received, apart from the weather but when we do finally get a couple of good days straight this event is going to go "OFF" as all indicators were showing for a bumper crowd and most accommodation houses have already receiving bookings for 2012. As for numbers through the gates, these are all over the place but whilst Friday night, Saturday and Saturday night were down slightly down on 2010 Sundays gate was way up so over all very happy to get away with that. Totals at this stage are looking around the 26000 mark for the weekend. Entrant numbers were also strong but the most evident was the quality of the cars overall was way up and this was proved with the judging results that took over 16 extra hours than normal for event judges to get their results into us. Was great to see NO Canaries on any Entrant Cars this year and we can only hope this continues to be the NORM! The Mount Gambier Valvoline Autofest & Show N Shine is next cab off the rank, now in its 34th year and earmarked for Jan 28th and 29th 2012, so if possible get over to the Mount and enjoy that one with us and a great group of South Aussies too boot. Also do not forget to put the date of March 17th and 18th 2012 into the diary for the first running of the Bathurst Valvoline Autofest as this event is attracting interest and entrys from all over OZ and please remember that if you are thinking of attending the Mount Panorama event, get your entry in sooner rather than later as there is a 350 car cut off for year one and those wanting are Pit Garage also be quick as these are also almost full. All of the Valvoline Autofesrt Series of events are similar in concept, so what you witnessed at Springnats you will see at all of the Series events but with some suprises and tweeks at each venues visited. So whether your a Rodder, Restorer, Streeter or any other type of Car Enthusist you are welcomed and catered for at any of the Valvoline Autofest Sreies of Events.
