Spooky,
I find it a bit unusual that NSW members should show little interest in track/sprints considering the number that turned up for the Nats. There are a lot of us that participate in these type of events, but not with CCCNSW as it is not a CAMS affiliated club and therefore limited to available circuits ie Wakefield or Winton ( don't know about Qld). I'm sure there are a lot who would love to have the access that Northerners have to more than one track.

As for rotating Nationals, I'm not opposed to travel as it would be the same whether north or south.
Whoever takes on the task, start early in seeking sponsorships to alleviate the cost to the entrant. As Phil mentioned it gets more expensive every year. If it is decided by popular vote to change venue, ensure it is a proportional vote as some states do not have large membership numbers.
As far as I know NSW has run the event for a bulk of the 17 Nats and there has always been talk of moving to other states, but it always fell back to NSW in the end.
Believe me it's not a breeze to run, did the 15th along with PhilM, and I honestly would have continued had work commitments not exploded. Whoever takes on the task, be ready for a lot of flak, because they will be responsible for the bad weather, track downtime, late drivers, incorrect grading, incorrect timing, bad food, ....... the list goes on!

The main purpose of the nationals is. for all cobra owners, admirers and their friends and family to meet once a year to take part in various events ( based on timing)
and to meet socially to renew old and make new friends.
It's NOT a Race Meeting
