Nationals 2011

[spookypt]

Phil, we came up with some interesting ideas at our post Nats dinner... I appreciate all the effort the NSW club provide to give the club members an event.

I'd be happy to be involved to throw around and create some ideas.....we always have post nats discussions etc..... For mine I'd like to see it discussed at the Nats at say the Saturday dinner where a show of hands/vote whatever, some input from those who attend as to what they want out of the event....

I found it "strange" that after being advised during the Saturday drivers briefing to be on-time as we are paying for the track etc etc they closed it at 3.15 in the arvo that day.... Couldn't we have done some open track for a while in the dry??? Just one observation amongst many...

While the weather is out of anyones control, if it rains next year......and the format stays the same, I think it will be very hard to maintain the interest from interstate people who don't get the benefit of the public holiday etc etc.

The big thing I learnt over the weekend talking to many NSW members is that they aren't overly interested in sprints/track time etc.... whereas the QLDs are all pretty keen on that aspect and are pretty active in all that up here..
An event for all I agree with, but 6 people on the cruise to Canberra and maybe 25 cars at the show and shine lends me to think that ideas and revamp is worth discussing.

Perhaps each state club can run it each year?????

I'd also like to see the GT40 clubs invited too????

Can each state based club form a group to discuss their respective thoughts and then all groups combine over a phone hook up to discuss a proposal for next year.

I like WP and appreciate the point about losing that slot...

Just my 2 cents worth.
