October 28, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 2nd annual Motors In Motion festival in Kingaroy on Saturday was engineered for excitement … with motors in motion everywhere you could look at Kingaroy Airport.<\/p>\n

Overhead there were planes taking off and landing, taking joyflights as well as twirling, swirling and doing loops. Warbirds flew in formation and conducted mock strafing runs.<\/p>\n

On the ground, there were static displays of cars from every era, vintage trucks, bikes, tractors and farm machinery, hot rods, touring cars, 1950s caravans …<\/p>\n

Then there were the model planes, doing amazing aerobatics, and the model cars racing around a haybale course.<\/p>\n

On a bigger haybale course, the drivers of street machines tested their driving skills and reflexes by racing the clock over a tight motorkhana course.<\/p>\n

But there was also entertainment for the non-rev heads: school bands, a fashion parade and even an art show.<\/p>\n

The climax of the day was an old Kingaroy favourite … a ping pong ball drop which had children of all sizes scurrying to locate the numbered balls in long grass.<\/p>\n

President of the organising committee Kevin Krosch told southburnett.com.au<\/strong> that he was very happy with the crowd and the day had gone off “without a hitch”.<\/p>\n

Committee treasurer Ray Wilton said gatetakings were up almost 25 per cent on last year.<\/p>\n

He estimated the crowd at just under 2700.<\/p>\n

Profits from the event will be distributed to community groups in the South Burnett.<\/p>\n
