On Sunday, April 7, gates will open at 9am so the general public can check out vintage, veteran, classic and custom vehicles on display.
Motor show committee member Geoff Long said the late and great Sam Sali was a 50-year member of the club and a trucking legend in his own right.
“We hope to get as many trucks there for Sam as possible,” Mr Long said.
“There will be a lot more than just trucks though.
Hot rod: Geoff Long and Denis Muto both emphasised that there would be plenty more than just trucks on offer.

“Cars, motorbikes, food and drink, you name it.”
Local businesses support the event, with stalls available at the market and a swap meet section on the day.
A record $20,000 was raised from the show last year, going to Rotary’s charities and initiatives.
The club hopes to smash that figure this year, and with a beautiful day of weather ahead, it promises to be a roaring success.
Tickets are $5 to enter and $10 to bring in a show vehicle, with children under 12 free.
Presentations will be held at 1pm.
Mr Long thanked the major sponsor, Ken Muston Automotive, and the community for continuing to support the event in its 11th iteration.
