Welcome to Motorfest 2011
The Busselton MotorFest was first inspired by the long held dream of Ray Dowell of the Busselton Football Club. Ray had no problem finding local "motorheads" to help make the dream of having a local motor show come true! In 2006 the first event attracted about 150 exhibits, and by last years show this was up to more than 340 exhibits. The event continues to be specifically a FAMILY orientated outing that gives everyone the opportunity to show / view a wide range of motor types... be it stationary motors from a past era, vintage and modern vehicles, tractors, bikes, speedway & drag racing beasts, streetcars, or just the pure show of muscle power... (Ford & Holden rivalry is alive and well!). Car Clubs from all over the state also make a significant presence.
The whole event is run purely on a volunteer basis as a fundraiser for the local football club and a nominated charity/cause/individual.
The Traders Alley, Auto Jumble car boot Sale, a variety of children's activities, as well as some seriously delicious food and refreshments provided by local vendors, assure that all your needs are met.
COME AND MEET WA's STRONGEST MAN.
Cheer for your favourite sporting code in the BUSSELTON GOOD GUY'S BATTLE OF THE CODES TUG OF WAR COMPETITION with the fabulous prize of $1000
The popular SOUTH WEST CRANE'S CAR DROP IS ALWAYS A SHOW STOPPER!
As per last year we plan to run a FREE BUS SERVICE between the event venue and the Busselton town centre (on an hourly basis).
While competition is not given priority at this event, local sponsors do provide trophies for a variety of categories.. some serious.. some not!
The Busselton Football Club always aim to make a few professional football players (eg Eagles/WAFL) available to sign autographs on the day.
A "CAR CRUISE" will again be held on Saturday, 26th November (the day before the Motorfest event). This is a great chance to catch up with other car enthusiasts for a few hours in the afternoon while exploring the beautiful south west region. Details are now available in the LATEST NEWS section
PLEASE NOTE... while we are a pretty laid back mob here you could well stress us out if you just show up on the day without nominating! NOMINATION IS ESSENTIAL as last year the oval was just about full to capacity. Please help us to make this day run smoothly for all.
