After the mamoth event that was Toyotafest #10, we are back on the rooftop again to turn things up to 11!!

So how do you enter...?

To be eligible to enter, the vehicle must be Toyota bodied, but any engine and driveline combination is welcome. You DO NOT have to be a member of the Toymods Car Club to enter and we encourage other Toyota clubs to present club displays.

Entry fee is $10 per vehicle to cover event overheads. Spectators are FREE

We don't take pre-entries. Just turn up on the day with $10 per car and an entry form, and you'll be good to go!

The display will close at 3.00pm with ALL cars remaining until then. In the interest of public safety NO vehicle may be moved or started during the display... NO EXCEPTIONS!

Again, Toymods, is organising a few 'side' events for the interstate enthusiasts. So to make their trip worthwile, we will be having a dinner and possibly a GoKart day or drag night at WSID (TBA)

See everyone there...

PS: You're car does not need to be in 'show condition' to enter. As long as it's neat and tidy (washing it is a great start), we'd love to see it in the show!

When you say spectators are free, what does this mean? Am i allowed to drive my car into the carpark somewhere? Im not familiar with the layout and never been to a toyota fest before. I don't plan on entering the competition lol

We block off a large portion of the top level of the multi-storey carpark, but there are plenty of parks left over for people who don't want to enter (as well as the general public who will be visiting the shopping centre as usual). Paid entrants get a park in the restricted zone and an entrants number to display on their car (for trophy eligibility etc), but everyone is free to walk around and even look at cars parked outside (ie if you want to show people your car but can't be there for the whole day).

Ok thanks for clearing that up for me

Less than 2 weeks to go now, in true Toyotafest tradition I'm sure most of you will be leaving things to the last minute with many sleepless nights on the cards ahead.

As a friendly but important reminder for all entrants, please be aware that if you intend on entering your car into the show this year, once you are parked and the show has started (9am) we cannot permit you to move your car until the show ends at 3pm. This is purely for insurance purposes - we are insured for a STATIC car display / show.

If you feel you may not be able to stay for the whole day, it doesn't mean you can't attend the show, you just won't be able to enter your car. There is plenty of parking outside the show area where spectators can come and go as they please.

3 days to go now, if you haven't started polishing your pride and joy now is as good as time as any to start (and the weather is playing nice for a change too)

Just a reminder, once the show has started no cars can be moved due to our insurance coverage, so why not make a day of it?

And for those who treasure their sleep, don't forget to wind your clocks forward an hour before you go to bed, daylight savings and Toyotafest are an annual tradition.
