Speed on Tweed 2008

SPEED ON TWEED - September 2008: Rumoured to be the last one, no way, this annual event must not cease. Great crowds over the three days, a wide range of machinery, some of Australia's greatest Drivers, Sprint Racing, Concourse, Show and Shine, oh and the food, surprisingly good!!
