Because we don't have enough cars to get the whole joint to ourselves. Plus this way we don't have to worry about taking care of other stuff too like timeslips and that. The number of cars won't be prohibitive I expect. Probably only the same amount there as when GMH had it last time?

ok then, thats fair enough then.... Going on the success of the last one, i thought it would have been easy to get even more cars there this time!

But i suppose its a lot less to organise this way, as long as we get there early and set up in a group it wont be any different i suppose...

Of course, if we can guarantee 40-50 cars then organising it for a Saturday is just a phone call away, but we really need to collate an entrants list in the next couple of months.

So lets see how it goes

So far we have the folowing entrants who intend on racing
1. 253ToranaSS
2. makka
3. ChiaLX
4. Melz
5. lexa
6. Liam
7. LC-069
8. Stedz lc
9. ME
and hopefully EHGIRL and LXCHEV

Please correct me if I'm wrong on this list.

So C'mon you braggers!, let us know if ya wanna race eh?

Cheers,
Rick.

Yeah i am in for sure!

But i was out with LXCHEV and MAKKA last night and we were chatting about it, and we all thought that if we move it to after new year we would get better numbers and probably a better day.

Mainly because of springnats and everything so close to each other. Also Makka raised the issue of uni exams. November is right in the middle of them, i know most of u guys arent at uni but the few who are might have to pull out at hte last minute.

I know its a long way away, but maybe a Late feb/early march would suit better?

Also combine it with another forums like ausmusclecars and we can get some HOLDEN v Ford battles happening?

Also the weather is really good around then...

And like last time i would want to stay up there the night before/after depending on when we go up....

Some fair points in there Matt and I think you've found the reason why we are just going up on a test and tune day. Weather's a bit unpredictable, lots of other racing commitments for ppl which makes money an issue, plus some ppl have exams.

I certainly agree we should aim for another dedicated forum drag day early next year and max out the place, but in the meantime I think this is a good idea for an unoffical get together for those who can manage it. If you have stuff on and pull out then there is no harm done because there is none of the responsability involved as when we hire out the place. If there are 8 instead of 9 then it'll still be fine.

And for gods sakes Matt, I CAN'T WAIT TILL FEB. I'm dying to try out this car of mine! Did you not think of that, lol.

Peace,

Yeah good point liam... Good way to look at it....

I will aim to head up here for this event, but if i dont make it i wont feel as bad as if we had booked out the place and they were relying on me...

and of course we can always do it again in feb/march!!!!

ummm it was in march...
It was a really good time of year, after the majority of the heat of summer had dispersed.

Unfortunately due to going overseas i cant commit to spending any money! I need spendign money to pain the USA red!!

So! I think March would be a good time to do it again, but again i wont be able to attend. Hopefully it can be worked out though as it would be a great thing to do again!

Why don't we just have it as an annual event that is run about the same time every year. Then we all know when it is on in advance and it gives people no excuss for not being there.
