Hi All,

Where has the time gone, the year is RACING by!

I just wanted to recap on what’s happening and confirmed to date.

Supercheap Auto - our naming rights sponsor for 2025 Supercheap Auto

They will be poviding some generous benefits for all participants which I know you’re going to love. On the Wednesday when we return from Opuanke Beach to TSB Stadium for a casual get together, Supercheap Auto will be on hand to explain exactly what they are offering to you.

Americarna Workshop Services now has a trade account with Supercheap Auto which works well, so make sure you talk with them.

Also, at the get together on Wednesday, we will have Colin and Debbie James unique Kenworth BBQ Truck.

Americarna is providing a typical BBQ spread with some vegan options.

Hospice will be manning the grill for a gold coin donation.

Here is the next piece of news I am very excited to annouce!

Roy Brizio who owns Brizio Street Rods based in South San Francisco is coming to Americarna 2025. Google Brizio Hot Rods and check out the photo gallery!

Roy and his team have won numerous awards - some more than once.

Having Roy and his partner join us for Americarna 2025 will provide the opportunity to meet this legend in hot rodding.

Roy will be presenting his Hot Rod Pick at the farewell dinner function on Saturday evening and presenting a one-off trophy. He will also be involved with Kim - his sister, and Sam on selecting the American Visitor trophy.

So the trophies will be:

Supercheap Auto Choice Award
Roy Brizio Pick Choice Award American Visitor Pick Choice Award Canadian Visitor Pick Choice Award Americarna Choice Award
Trafficr Acceleration Display Award

The car that takes out the Americarna Choice Award will be featured on our event T-shirt and other promotional material.

On Saturday, there is the opportunity to take a ride on the Steam Incorporated Classic Diesel Locomotives and Vintage Carriages from the centre of town to Lepperton, and back. This is a first and will be hugely popular! Steam Incorporated
https://americarna.com/railway-experience/

Then, there’s our band for the farewell function - The Monroes! They will be a welcomed and exciting change as they belt out 60’s and 70’s classics we all know and love.

We know that many of you haven’t registered yet, but have booked your accomodation. Please get your registration in as soon as possible, it really helps the team to plan. Link https://americarna.com/event/event-registration/

And if you’re coming and haven’t booked your accomodation, we highly recommend you do so now.

Any issues with finding what you want, let us know and we will see what we can do.

In the meantime, if your ride isn’t ready, best you get to work so you can join us for Supercheap Auto Americarna 2025!

Cheers JR,

Jo, Claudia and the TVET Board.
