Nationals Update

Tony,
This is unbelievable 130 Fe/FC's in 1 spot at 1 time and over 50 FE's just shows how strong the movement is.In April we take possession of Philip Island in May the
world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic.
Cheers,
Graham ;)

More than 50 FEs.  Sensational.

BTW Tony - I'm as happy as the next bloke to stick it to the "half-a-battery" mob ;D (just ask Ian O!) but to be fair 48s and FJs may have been manufactured for twice as long as FE/FC, but there were still 20% more FE/FCs produced.

All that aside, how does 130 cars compare to turnouts at other Holden Nationals?  That would have to be up there, surely?

Easter can't come soon enough ;D

cheers

 ;)Well Done everybody,  What a massive NATS it will be.  It kinda puts the wind up us SA lot for when we organise the NATS in SA in 2008.  Cheers Hotlips ;)

Despite hitting the magic 50 FEs milestone, they're still outnumbered by the FCs.  So how big is the FC's 50th Anniversary going to be?

No pressure, huh? :-/

Very roughly by memory, I would put numbers as follows
ACT - 82
NSW - high 70's
QLD - 60 something ?
VIC - 50 odd
all others before - less than 50

Thanks Ken - I've got the actual numbers for FE-FC Nationals about the place somewhere, and could post them if anyone is interested.

What I meant was I wonder how this compares to 48-FJ or EJ-EH etc Nationals?

cheers

Well how good is that Tony has talked it up from the start and i have just sat back and thought yeh maybe ???? Well HOW WRONG WAS I!!!!! 130 cars at a Nationals that is going to be unbloody beleivable! A Nationals record not just beaten but SMASHED.Full credit to Tony Galea and his incredible enthuiasm he never once gave up the hope of 100 cars and to think 130 cars and 50 of those FE types! it truly is fantastic. As mentioned by RET wait until the FC hits the Golden age it should go off!. Better head off to the next committee meeting and start to help a liitle more so that the event can be as good as everyone expects it to be!!!
Cheers for now and i look forward to meeting everyone at the biggest Nationals EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

130 cars....now I gotta see that.
Incredible to have 50 FE's there, but even more incredible is 80 FC's in attendance. That's almost as many FC's as there was cars in total at the last Nats.
This is going to be HUGE!

Unbelievable number of entrants!!! A fantastic job done by the Vics, and everyone involved in the FE/FC movement.

I'd also like to credit the Canberra guys with helping boost these numbers.... the success of the Jindabyne Nationals has surely added to everyone's enthusiasim...

All in all an excellent result!!

Well done

Cheers
