The seventh annual Raising Hell In Maidenwell – a charity fundraiser organised by the South Burnett Gas Guzzlers club – had a little bit of everything for motoring enthusiasts at the weekend.<\/p>\n

There were hotrods, street machines, some fairly new American muscle cars and some Aussie classics.<\/p>\n

There was also a smattering of 1950s and 1960s \u00a0vintage caravans.<\/p>\n

Gas Guzzlers club president Terry Mackrell said there was about 70 vehicles entered into the show and shine, down a little on previous years.<\/p>\n

This could have been due to the Federal Election (people often don’t travel far from home on voting day) or it could be because there have been a few other show and shines on recently.<\/p>\n

But either way, the people who were there were having a good time.<\/p>\n

The weekend kicked off on Friday night with a rock’n’roll dance at the Maidenwell Hall, followed by the main day of the show and shine on Saturday, and a pig-on-the spit dinner at the Maidenwell Pub.<\/p>\n

Activities wrapped up on Sunday about lunchtime.<\/p>\n

Terry said planning had already begun for next year’s event, which will again be sponsored by the Heritage Community Bank, Nanango.<\/p>\n

The Gas Guzzlers club is also always on the lookout for new members.<\/p>\n

Anyone interested should contact Terry on\u00a00409-496-167.<\/p>\n

Footnote:<\/strong> Ford fans should take note … the V6 Commodore lasted much longer than the Ford in the engine blow-up competition, where the motors are run with no oil or water. The six-cylinder Ford engine threw a rod and exploded, much to the delight of the Holden fans present. Times:\u00a0Holden 5:35 (won by Tammy Schumacher) and Ford 1:35 (won by Leesa Baker).<\/p>\n
