TOOWOOMBA 23rd & 24th October 2010
The Queensland members of the VHKA turned out at Toowoomba on 23rd & 24th Oct for a run. Lots of runs on the Saturday in some real heat followed by some demos on Sunday. Good to see new members Allan King with his Avanti/DAP and Matt Picken with his Demon X8 twin and his partially rebuilt Kali. Some 14 karts hit the track over the weekend with another few on static display in the pits.
Thanks to the Toowoomba club for accomodating us and to Robert Beetham for the organisation.
My plans to take lots of photos was scuppered by forgetting to charge the camera battery but I know lots of photos were taken so lets have them guys – VHKAus@gmail.com
