Thanks Mark T for your information. I had read about this in the Cruisin Magazine, but hadn't done anyting about it.

Hi,
I have received a reply form Paul regarding Garterbelts & Gasoline Nostalgia -

Greetings John & Lynne,
So very nice to hear from you.
I would love to see some cool vintage caravans at GarterBelts & Gasoline.
Where i am at right now is any caravans can stay at the Tamborine Caravan & Camping grounds.
The grounds are about 10 mins from all venues that will be hosting events.
here is the website which is also on the GB&G website under links / accomadation
My understanding is the cost is around $12 per night per adult for a powered site.
i believe there are showers ect at the grounds.

Now the ultimate aim is to be able to allow you guys to stay at the Tamborine show grounds
where the Hot Rod Carnivale will be held on the Sunday and the Art Exhibition will be run for the four days.
I am not sure if i will have permission by April but i am working on it.
If i can pull this off you will be able to say right in the thick of things.
The cost would be around $20 per van per night.
I will keep you posted, any idea what number of Vintage Vanners may be coming?

Car entry into the Carnivale on the Sunday is free
Classic cars are most welcome.
Adults are $15 and kids under 12 are free
Ticket prices for the rest of the entertainment will be released this week.
There will also be some forms released this week.

Best Regards

Greetings,
On Saturday the 30th of April 2011,
The Nth Tamborine Police Defense Driving Program, Cruzin Magazine and Mt Tamborine Brewery will present the GarterBelts & Gasoline Vintage Soap Box Derby.
This fun filled race will be held in conjunction with Sgt Mick Jones from the Nth Tamborine Police.
The Soap Box Derby will be held on Curtis Rd Mt Tamborine, the staging area, spectators car park and pit area will be on the corner of Long and Curtis roads where there
is plenty of off street parking for racers, their families and spectators alike.
The actual race track is Curtis Rd, the start line is on the Long Rd end of Curtis and then it is one long downhill run to the finish line.
There will be trophies to won and more importantly, an annual tradition to be started along with a whole lot of fun! In the spirit of the 1940s and 1950s flavor of GB&G
we will be looking for traditional ol' skool hot rod style Soap Box Cars, but most importantly home built cars. There will be three classes, juniors, teenagers and mad cap grown ups (almost).
I feel this will quickly become an important feature on the four day festival and a great prelude to The Hot Rod Carnivale held at the Mt Tamborine show grounds on Sunday.
Entry will be just $15 for all race cars and free for all racers, crew and spectators. The trophy presentations will be held at Mt Tamborine Brewery around the corner on Long Rd.
All Cars Must Be Pre Entered by April 15th, No Pre Entry No Racing ( No Exceptions)
There is plenty of room on Curtis Rd for spectators to view the race, please note that All Spectators Must Stay Off The Asphalt when watching the race.
There will be some rules and regulations for the cars and racers, if you are wishing to enter a car, please contact me directly and i will supply you with
all relevant information. I have attached some links for interest and inspiration,
We are looking for volunteers to help out on the Saturday morning from 6am to the finish of racing, if you can help, please let me know.
Dream It, Build It, Race IT!!!
