OVER 1000 CLASSIC CARS EXPECTED FOR COOLY ROCKS ON 2011

Cooly Rocks On, November 3: Organisers of next year's Cooly Rocks On Festival have today re-affirmed that over 1000 Classic Cars and Hot Rods will attend next year's new look Rock ‘N Roll Nostalgia Festival in the Gold Coast-Tweed Heads region.

The Cooly Rocks On Organising and Car Committees are working tirelessly to ensure that "Classic Cars" aspect of the festival is going to be bigger and better that ever.

"The response from our Car Committee has been overwhelming to say the least - and we're actually looking for a record number of cars, maybe as many as1200," said Festival Operations Manager Bob Newman.

"Our Festival Car Committee chairman Steve Bowman is equally excited about the "cars component" of next year's 11-day event, between June 3 and 13. We have had some very positive meetings and it's all systems go."

Cooly Rocks On has announced that two additional precinct areas in Wharf Street opposite Twin Towns Services Club and the new development at Jack Evans Boat Harbour in Tweed Heads (Cooly Rocks On, will be the first major event to be held in the new Jack Evans Boat Harbour Precinct).

Mr Newman said: "For the Customs, Classics and Hot Rods, parking will return to Griffith Street as well as Marine Parade and the two new precincts.

"The Saturday and Sunday Cruise Nights will incorporate Griffith Street which will increase the cruise distance, include the Griffith Street cafes and Restaurants and give spectators a greater choice of vantage points."

He said the cut-off year for car entries is 31 December 1973 (Pre 1974) and vehicles or facsimiles of vehicles manufactured before that date will be accepted (space permitting and on a first in first served basis).

Midweek car events will include a Poker Run on the first weekend followed by the Tweed Rodders BBQ night at Tugun, the hinterland cruise, Customs of Australia BBQ night at their club rooms at Mudgeeraba and a cruise to the Ferry Road Diner at Southport.
