HSV Nationals 2012

The HSV Nationals were hosted and run by the HSV Owners Club of Qld in 2012.

Held over three days (Friday 13th to Sunday 15th July), the weekend included the main Show ‘n Shine event with Gala Dinner at the RNA Showgrounds in Brisbane. The event concluded on Sunday with a day of full throttle fun at Willowbank Raceway… The entire event was a huge success and has become the benchmark for future Nationals events.
