American Car Nationals Incorporating Canberra Chrysler Day

26/09/2010 (All day)

The American Car Nationals is a static display of American Classic Cars of yesteryear. The event is held annually at the Queanbeyan Showground on the last Sunday in September. The origin of the American Car Nationals goes back to 1991 when a group of enterprising members of the American Car Club of Australia Inc. had the vision of an annual event where enthusiasts of American cars could meet to discuss their hobby and display their dream machines. In subsequent years the numbers have grown to more than 260 superbly presented American vehicles in 40 judging categories and Canberra Chrysler Day is now a regular and important feature of the Nationals, to include Australian Chryslers. The American Car Club of Australia Inc. has close links with the Shannon's Insurance Group who will again be the major sponsor of the event. Local businesses in the ACT and Queanbeyan have also been most supportive.

  • Torquay, Victoria, AU

Details

The Rip Curl Pro - the world's longest running and most prestigious professional surfing contest - will take place in Australia's surfing home of Torquay from March 30 to April 10 this year.

The ASP World Tour's best 45 male surfers, two Rip Curl Wildcards and one local Victorian Wildcard from the Victoria Place To Be Trials will be at Bells over Easter to compete the year's second ASP World Tour contest, but only one deserved winner will get their hands on the prized Bell trophy.

ASP World Champions Mick Fanning and defending champion Joel Parkinson will be leading the local charge, but international superstars Kelly Slater, Andy Irons and Adriano de Souza will be doing their best to take the Bell out of Australia this year.

The ASP Women's World Tour surfers will also be at Bells this Easter, as will the world's hottest 16-year-old junior talent, who will be in town competing the international final of the Rip Curl GromSearch Series.

In tow with the action on the water, the festival will also heat up on land, with a music festival over the Easter long weekend, plenty of parties and other activities for visitors to Victoria's Surf Coast during that period.

The Rip Curl Pro is the only professional sporting event allowed to be held on Easter Friday in Australia, so there is no other place to be for sport fans!
