Meet a Racing Legend!

September 24, 2015 by Maggi Barnard

If you have ever wanted to meet one of Australia’s greatest racing legends, now is your chance! On Saturday 26 September Forbes Tyreright are holding their Grand Opening and everyone is invited to get out there and meet V8 Supercar Hall of Famer Allan Moffat.

Jamie Walsh and his Forbes Tyreright staff have been working hard since February to get the building complete and after a coat of paint they’ve decked the place out and it’s now up and running. To celebrate their achievement, a Grand Opening will be held this Saturday between 9am and 1pm and something will be there for all ages to enjoy.

There will be a jumping castle for the kids, a machinery display for the farming enthusiasts and ROK FM will be broadcasting live from the event. A lucky door prize will also be on offer with $500 worth of tyres to give away.

An incredible car display will include Cobras, Fastback Mustangs and a Grand Torino made famous by the television and movie franchise Starsky & Hutch. Get your free Bathurst 1000 poster signed by racing hero Allan Moffat, get involved with a fun football passing competition and enjoy the sausage sizzle. This will be a great day out
for the kids with Dad and the best part yet, it’s a free event!

“Come down and check out the new showroom,” Jamie said. “Get out on a spring weekend and enjoy the sunny weather!” Forbes Tyreright can take care of all your mechanical repairs, registration checks, servicing and they have the latest technology in wheel alignment.

With a wealth of experience spanning over 25 years collectively, these people can help with anything from a pram to an earthmover. They also offer 24 hour on-farm service.
