Hosted by the NSW Muscle Car Association - Torque Bar & Grill Car Show/Car Meet - 153-165 Parramatta Rd, North Strathfield (7pm-11pm)
Hello Ladies & Gentlemen
This will be our last event till Spetember. We will chill for the winter months and start up again, when it starts getting warmer.
This event has been growing bigger every month, this one should not be any different.
Due to the size of the facility, cars will only be excepted in between the hours of 7pm and 9pm. The entrances will be closed at 9pm sharp and no more cars will be let in. Makes for a more comfortable event.
There will be a traffic controller at the entrance when you arrive, he will send you to the other traffic controllers which will park you. Please be patient and cooperate with traffic control.
A photographer will be on site taking photos.
There will be trophies for:
Best Australian
Best American
Best European
Best Japanese
Alex from Torque bar and Grille has donated four $50 vouchers to spend in store. So this month you will not only receive a trophy, but a $50 voucher as well.
We will also be raising money for our chosen charity "The Kids Cancer Project" We raised $500 at our last event, dig deep and lets beat our last donation. Please put your money in the approved buckets that will be brought around by some of our members.
This will be a great night, as always. On behalf of all here at the NSW Muscle car Association, thank you, hope to see you all there.
**WARNING** Please enter and leave the event appropriately. Please do not do burnouts or misbehave behind the wheel. There has been complaints from residents that live across the road from the venue. They have threatened to take videos and photographs and turn them over to the police. You have been warned.

Hi Zoltan
As the original post stated money is being raised for The Kids Cancer Project.
Official fundraising buckets will be brought around by members of the host club and I guess it's up to you if you want to donate???
Of course the money goes to kids who really need our help and support - very dollar counts.
Regards,
Ness

ok, thanks for the clarification

Jakki and I are trying to make it tonight, bit tight on time.

Mark will be there with David Mount, and I received a message that Jeff Atkins will be there too :way:
-
I'll be there with the whole family

I went there, arrived just after 7... on the way there 3 cars, one after the other went onto the wrong side of the road, because the traffic was holding them back from getting into the right turn lanes, most of these cars did burn outs all the way...
We went in, managed to get a parking spot, but the place was packed... the food queue was huge... we left within minutes.
Despite this we had a good night out at a restaurant in Burwood and the night air was sooooo nice.

Just wondering if we know factually whether those cars were involved in the Torque event... Or related to the responsible members of this Club who attended.....
The idea of this and other threads is to generally promote the events that organisers are kind enough to invite this Club to, and to give our members options to use and enjoy their vehicles. We are fortuate enough to have a number of venues and event organisers wanting us to provide patronage to their events, and in turn we seek to promote the positive side of these events on this forum. Our Club tries to promote the responsible image of muscle car enthusiasts, and for those who seek to flout the laws and drive in a dangerous manner I suggest that we not detail their irresponsible actions here.
It is unfortunate that the service of food was slow, but in some cases this is to be expected when an event is heavily attended (hence the preface for the event outlining the restriction of entry etc).
Over the years this Club has worked hard to build an admirable reputation within the car club community, and I suggest that we use this forum to continue promoting responsible usage of muscle cars and the wonderful cameraderie of members at the arranged events. Any illegal activities should be reported to the relevant authorities and not outlined within these pages -illustration of dumb behaviour potentially tarnishes our own events. We are very fortunate to have great cars in this Club owned and enjoyed by responsible and lovely people - we should promote that and not the events peripheral to the said event.
And that all being said, I will do my upmost to attend this event next time it runs...... Especially when the organiser is kind enough to donate vouchers for the cause......!!!

Maybe we should promote our own events and not be followers of others, as the club was formed to be and not be connected to these badly managed events giving our club and cars a bad name as most of our members are not irresponsible tennagers but people who just want to drive our cars
-
I always support the idea of promoting all car related events, especially if there is any charity involved.
From time to time, there will be people who don't behave... I believe that "carma" (aka Karma) will catch up to them. They will either get caught, or break their ride.
I don't get out to events very often, so when I get a chance, I will take it. If it does not work out, I move on. We where too hungry to wait around, that's all. There was a guy there who was very helpful and friendly who helped us get out, no problem.
Don't let your great efforts in promoting events be spoilt by a few yobs... :thank:
see you at the BBQ ! :cheers:

The Torque event is usually very successful. It does not matter what car meet you attend, you're always going to get the idiots who spoil it for everyone :banghead:
Our club has evolved over the recent years to support/incorporate car meets such as these, and does not reflect on our club's reputation whatsoever.
In the past, Torque has not attracted hooligans or idiots but I guess a couple snuck in - they look like the idiots not us :thud:
With regard to food service it becomes extremely busy and the kitchen staff can only do their best.
The AMCCA committee will continue to support organised events (such as Torque, CUTS, Grange, Romans etc) especially those raising money for charities.
I personally do not believe that promoting these events spoil the reputation of the AMCCA - just my personal opinion.
Everyone, enjoy your Sunday and relax :cool: :cool: :cool:
