As we Qlders already take a week off work, ( have a social drive over 2 days there and 2 days back and 3 days at Wakefield Park ), what difference would it make if we had it midweek. The travelling could be done at the weekend.
The social aspect is as important as the competition, so we need to make sure that we don't kill that.
I can also see that the Show n Shine is an important event, so people can show their pride and joy.
If for example we held the event at Morgan Park in Qld, there is a drag strip next to the circuit that we could use for the drags and Go to Whoa. With the new track extension there are at least 12 track configurations. We could do Sprints for those interested, and Regularity for drivers who don't want to go too fast. That way we would also encourage more female competitors.
You can still win a trophy by doing a slower time, you just have to be consistent.
Just some ideas for consideration.
