Scott “Scooter” Young, from the South Burnett Car Club, and his 1972 VH Chrysler Charger

May 20, 2013

The South Burnett Car Club held its annual show and swap meet at Nanango Showgrounds on Sunday morning.

Club publicity officer Scooter Young said it was the eighth year that the meet had been held and it was “the best and biggest yet”.

There were 48 cars and bikes registered – everything from fully restored 1970s classics to  heavily modified custom cars – competing for trophies and attracting a good crowd of onlookers.

There were also 12 swap sites.

The next big car show in the South Burnett will be the South Burnett Gas Guzzler’s “Raising Hell in Maidenwell”  show’n’shine from July 5-7.

This show is open to ASRF hot rods, pre-1975 customs and classics, and vintage vans.

There will be live music, a pig-on-the-spit and car games.  The public day will be Saturday July 6.
