This is a big event run bi-yearly
by the MMCCCV Inc. This time it will be held at the Caribbean Gardens Scoresby
(off Ferntree Gully and Stud roads).
Last time the DOMM clashed
with some racing events. We weren't able to get our act together, so at
the last minute, we were forced to pull-out as a group... Only a couple
of our modified members were able to make it on the day.
We have been officially invited
this time and our President Daryl Lloyd (and Michelle) is on the Organising
Committee... So we want to get behind this event and put in a group effort,
like we did a few years ago, when we took-out all of the Modified Trophies
on the day!
