.....details and OFFICIAL PROGRAMME below
Theo's Run..... an event that has quickly become a 'must do this April ' for many motoring enthusiasts in Western Australia. The name originates from that of Club member Theo Maisey. Theo has lived and worked in the Dowerin area all his life. He is the Patron of this event and he has fond memories from his childhood of the original race series from the 1930's.
More than just another car show, Theo's Run incorporates a leisurely 160km convoy 'run' from the Perth metropolitan area, led by a pace car from the DCC, to Dowerin via the historic towns of Toodyay and Goomalling. This take approximately two hours.
Once in town and following registration, entrant cars and bikes are set on a closed section of street in Dowerin for a regular 'show n shine'. However, not being content with this, the Club incorporates a series of 'display laps' for those wanting to 'blow the cobwebs' out. These are held on a closed road in the town. This allows spectators not only to see the machinery but hear and feel the power of the vehicles as they pass by.
The event not only caters for cars. Owners of motorbikes are most welcome to attend. As are those of other vehicles. The 2009 'Run' saw members of the Tractor Racing community attend and yes, they did take part in the 'display laps'. This was not only a crowd pleaser, but the owners themselves had a great time!
Theo's Run 2010 - April 17th and 18th - Don't miss it!
For 2010 Theo's Run is being taken up a gear or two! Following on from the success of 2009 the Dowerin Car Club has pleasure in announcing that the renowned former Australian Touring Car, Bathurst and international racing champion, Allan Moffat, OBE, will be the special guest of honour.
Allan, famously drove a variety of Ford and Mazda racing cars during the 1970's and 1980's. He also raced very successfully in many overseas races. He has also been a member of the commentary team covering TV broadcasts of motor racing in recent years.
This year sees the show held on the Field Days site. This offers a more secure and spacious venue, complete with catering facilites. Addtionally, a new, specially constructed circuit, for Theo's Run will be ready to use!
Not only will there be cars to view, we also have a variety of traders and stalls for you to peruse. Plus we've now added family movies, screened free of charge, for those of you overnighting on the 17th. This gives you a choice of arriving on Saturday, taking in the afternoon mini events and then either attending the Gala Dinner (see below) or enjoying the catering on the show site, taking in a movie and/or listening to a musical duo.
To cover the obvious expenses, there is a $10 per car entry for cars/bikes etc. entering the show display and laps. Spectator's are free entry with free parking. We are, however, asking a gold coin donation.
