Can we beat the FE-FC 150 Nationals entries in March, at the FB-EK Nationals in Narrandera in JUNE?

We need your help to beat our good friends the FE-FC Holdens ;)

FB-EK owners sitting on the fence .... FB-EK owners just coming for a look .... FB-EK owners that have just read this post.

Please put your pen to paper and get your forms in. The fun is not just out in the park on Sunday .... it's in the company of the FB-EK owners on mass at the Saturday and Sunday night dinners !!!

To join us, you need to float your entry in ASAP, and be part of this Historic Nationals .... "The 50th Anniversary of the FB Holden".

After all, who has the better model Holden ? ;)

Those that need pushing over the line ... please call me :)

yeh i believed it to be more up around 160, i got in the sh!t when i kinda said something along these lines got told it wasn't about the numbers and i wasn't making any comparisons :oops:
but i think it's more to do with time of year, they promote the sh!t out of there event and FE/FC's have been a more popular car for longer

Why do we even have to contemplate beating the FE/FC Nationals entrant tally? They run their Nats how they feel free, and we should run ours how we want. Why can't we just agree that our models are different, the number of enthusiasts are different and just leave it at that? :roll:

Remember that the FE/FC event is only every 2 years as i understand it. this has to have an effect on build up for the event and pent up demand.

Its all about rolling along and having fun at the end of the day and not all about the numbers !

I like every year :D .
I'm sure Bendigo was 82 cars, should beat that with 78 in already, it's usually the last days when they rush in :roll:

We agree with Trev, every year is perfect, and really who cares how many attend, after all they are the ones that really want to. Should not have to beg people to attend. Just catching up with and enjoying the event is what it is all about.
By the way 40 sleeps and counting down.
cheers
