From 10am at Grinsted Oval, the gates will open to the show which will feature an impressive lineup of antique machinery, bikes, tractors and a model car display.
But if engines don’t get your blood racing, there will be an abundance of sideline attractions that will.
For the first time, a V8 simulator ride, that gives people the chance to live the action of driving a supercar will be on show.
The hydraulic driven simulator holds 14 people at one time and mimics the turns and jolts you could expect as you are barrelling down Mount Panorama.
The popular jet boat expression sessions will also be back on Lake Forbes, with shows at 11am and midday.
Brownie’s DJ will provide music throughout the day and there will be trade stalls, kids rides, lucky door prizes, Mr Whippy and lots of food with the Wirrinya Progress Committee running the barbeque.
The event has already received a number of entrants for the motor show across all 33 categories.
Registration can still be done today, or tomorrow at the oval from 8am.
Entry costs $5 per adult, $2 for children and pensioners and $10 for a family.
All the money from the gate takings will go to the motor show’s major charity for 2015 - Riding for the Disabled with any extra funds raised going to a selection of local charities.
The motor show will run through until 2pm.
