History of the Show
There’s truck shows… and then there’s the Casino Truck Show!
What started as a small local display, at Casino Show and Casino Beef Week has grown into one of Australia’s greatest and most respected trucking events. Bob Webster and Frank Evans, two heavily affiliated men within the local transport industry, worked together to incorporate trucks into life at Casino in the 80’s and 90’s.
Many years later, and after the demise of the Lismore Truck Show, a local driver, Darren Goodwin, thought it was time to fill the void left behind. He brought on board Greg Lollback, or “Tiny”, as he was affectionately known, who was considered to be a senior driver in the area and had a wealth of knowledge of the industry in every way.
The event hasn’t stopped growing and now every year, the streets of Casino CBD fill with chrome, pride, horsepower, families, and the kind of atmosphere you only get when thousands of people who love trucks come together in one place.
From old-school classics to today’s working rigs, this show isn’t about egos, it’s about the people behind the wheel and the passion that keeps this industry rolling.
From 83 trucks in 2012… to record rigs and 40,000+ spectators today — that’s history.
