HI Donunder,
I am the NSW Cobra Club president and the Coordinator for this years nationals.
I welcome your comments and don’t take this as undeserved criticism.
I am glad you have lost your interest in Healeys, and your reasons are exactly what I love about Replica cobras. They are so diverse where customizing and upgrading their performance is encouraged. I also love watching them on the track and most of all racing my own car when ever I can.
I am disappointed that Gary is not attending the Nationals, for what reason I do not know. I did enjoy seeing the car on the track and most importantly meeting Gary a nicer bloke you cannot find. It would be interesting to see why, as that nationals should be for all cobra enthusiasts.
I will take your view point on board and present it at the review post the event.
As you have mentioned it is not an easy task planning and hosting the nationals. I hope that you appreciate that we listen to the cobra community and as with every year continued to provide an event that is fresh and fulfills the expectations of the majority.
The nationals are more then just the sprints, for most the “support” events take priority. The events should not be just about the big boys, the little boys need a run as well. The appeal of the Nationals is that everyone has a chance, the once a year racer has a real opportunity to win a trophy in the froff and bubble stuff.
Please seek me out at the nationals as I would like to catch up with you and have a chat about this issue.
If it was that easy the Queenslanders would host the Nationals.
Phil
