‘Back to the Drive In’, VIC

Dromana Drive In, Dromana

2:30 PM - 10:00 PM

Remember going to the Drive In back in the 50’s & 60’s when the whole family piled into the family wagon and went along, kids in pyjamas playing on the swings and slides, hanging the speaker on the car’s window, carrying dinner from the restaurant’s ‘healthy’ menu back to your car, when ‘movies’ were ‘pictures’ and the night’s program started with cartoons?

Well they might not hang the speaker from your car’s window anymore but with the help of the good folks at the Dromana Drive In, Let’s Go Cruisin’ aims to take a step back in time with our ‘Back to the Drive In’ cruise in every other way. The Dromana Drive In has been continuously operating since starting back in 1963 and only pre ’75 street rods, customs, muscle and chrome bumper classics will be admitted as participating entrants.

We plan to start ‘Back to the Drive In’ with a cruise down the Mornington Peninsula Freeway to the Drive In. We have two start locations with registration at both locations will open from 2:30pm. Cruises will depart at 3:30pm. Note, if we have any unsold tickets remaining, they will only be available for last minute purchase at these two locations. There will be no tickets available for purchase at the gate entry at the Drive In. Entry will only be possible by presenting a pre purchased ticket at the gate.

Bayside Cruise: Departs from the Chelsea Heights Hotel car park cnr of Wells & Springvale Rds, Chelsea Heights. This location is at the start of the Mornington Peninsula Freeway.

Eastern Cruise: Departs from the Manhattan Hotel car park, adjacent the Melbourne side of the Eastlink Freeway in Canterbury Rd Vermont. You’ll need a valid E Tag or day pass to travel on the toll road.

Cannot make it to one of our cruise start locations, but have pre purchased your entry ticket? Then go straight to the Drive In at Dromana but not before 4pm please as we'll all be busy inside setting up for the night!

We’re planning a special screening when the show starts at sunset with cartoons and shorts followed by two ‘classic’ feature movies, just like the drive in’s did in their heyday. After parking the car and settling in you’ll be entertained by Dirty Boogie 10 piece Big Band. Check out the Trade Stands. Put your bid in at the monster Charity Auction conducted by Shannon’s Bill Wellwood. Polish the car to win a Turtle Wax ICE ‘Best Presented Award’. Dress up to win Prizes for Best Dressed Guy, Gal, Family, Boy and Girl under 12. Grab some dinner from Shel’s Diner or setting up the picnic table you’ve bought along and check out a car or two from the hundreds of cool rides.

Entry is $30/car. So fill up the car with your family and friends, there’s no need to hide them in the boot! The Drive In will be closed to the public for this night. Only people arriving at the gate in a pre ’75 or special interest car with a pre purchased ticket will be admitted.

As it is the only annual “Torana only” car show on the east coast of Australia, it is the “Torana Mecca” for enthusiasts.

As usual, due to Toranafest being located on Newcastle’s Foreshore, spectator numbers will be in the thousands and once again, the “Old Fox”, Harry Firth will be back as well as many other notable legends of motorsport, like Colin Bond, and Des West, to make this a truly memorable day for Torana enthusiasts.

So rain, hail or shine, we've arranged another Mid Winter cruise with a trivia quiz to put a little fun & competition into the Cruise.

Destination is the car park in River St Healesville for a fun day enjoying this famous tourist town's many great facilities. Have a hearty hot lunch in one of the many pubs or cafes, take the kids for a ride on the railway's trolley car or perhaps go on to the Healesville Sanctuary.

Cost $5 per car. Registered entrants will receive a lucky entrant's ticket and we'll have lots of prizes to give away. Prizes drawn at 2:30pm in front of the LGC tent.

Here at NDRA and Nitro! magazine we have had numerous calls and correspondence asking if we could please delay the final leg of the Victorian Tri-Series event which was to be held on the 8th March until people have recovered and rebuilt , or at least got some normality back in their lives.

We have consulted with the host track, Bairnsdale Raceway, and have jointly decided to postpone the event to a date to be set later in the year.

The Ford Rallye Sport Owners Club of Victoria Inc. presents the biggest Small Ford show which is the largest event of this kind in Australia attracting over 200 entrant vehicles and hundreds of viewing public.

Entrants travel from all over Victoria and Australia with the occasional overseas visitor; such is the far-reaching attraction of this event. Small Ford Sunday is focused on owners and enthusiasts of small & medium sized Ford vehicles and as such features models from a diverse range of the Ford vehicle history. While the sporting heritage models of the 60’s and 70’s form the greater percentage of vehicles on display, each year has seen an increase in both periods before and after.

Examples of this diversity range from early pre-war Side valve Anglias and Prefects, later Anglia 100 & 105Es, Prefects, Zodiacs, Zephyrs, Consuls and Corsairs, through to all year models of Escort, Capri, Cortina and on to the more modern Sierra Cosworth, Laser, Cougar, Fiesta, Focus and Mondeo models. Vehicle standards also vary from fastidiously restored and highly modified show cars through to racing cars and well worn daily driven vehicles.

Small Ford Sunday is also the major annual fund raising event of the Lions Club of Reservoir who use the funds for valuable community projects. Gate proceeds go to charity. The event officially opens to entrants at 8.30am. Entries for judging close strictly at 12pm. Trophy presentation is at 3pm and the event closes at 4pm.

Moke Ocean Road, VIC

Great Ocean Road, Victoria

8:30 AM - 4:00 PM

After the Great War somebody in the government came up with the idea to build a special road suitable for a car not built for another 30-40 years and so the Moke Ocean Road was built, however due to Moke not existing at the time the word Great was temporarily used.

With great views and natural landscape combined with sweeping corners and fast twisty bits the Moke is obviously the vehicle they had in mind when they built it, and 75 years later we are going to show our appreciation for such an achievement of road constructions.

Leaving the Shell Service center on the Western Ring Road at 8:30am sharp on Saturday and picking up a few others along the way through to Geelong we will descend on the MOR. The plan for the day is to just drive and enjoy the sights until those who have to return to Melbourne turn and leave while the rest carry on to find some camping or beds for the evening.

Sunday is more driving before heading home.
