All spectator are welcome.
The possibility of people joining the NSW club in order to be able to enter the event has been discussed in our club meetings and the response was neutral at worst. The feeling is that all club members (including new ones) are welcome. Certainly we understand that the numbers that would fall into this category (knowing it is only a 1 day event) would most likely be minimal.

Only need one fast QLDer (and there are a lot more than one) for the NSW club championship trophy to reside in QLD - not sure if opinions would be so neutral then. It would be like Michael Phelps coming to Oz for the National Champs, taking home all the trophies and swimming for the US in London.

I just love the idea of this event - an event for the NSW club, who really are the Heart and Soul of the cobra community here in Australia. I think the NSW club is one that represents the typical cobra owner, willing to have a bit of a go at an event such as this, competitive, but not to the extent we'll risk meeting the wall to take home a $20 trophy. There are definitely some hard core racers in Qld, much more so than any other state. I do not criticise them, and can only admire the way they go for it. Part of the appeal of this event (for me at least) is that without some of the real hard core guys, the playing field is a bit more even.

Nothing controversial in that.........(OK - maybe the "heart and soul" bit ).

Cheers

Tenrocca I never even thought about the potential of the trophy heading north.

Hmmm, I'd suggest its all a bit of a pi$$ take more than anything.... has created some very amusing banter though!

What makes anyone think that the trophy would head North.....

Bit like the 'King Cobra' trophy....

It is currently well entrenched in its western sydney digs..... and hasn't been North for a number of years.....

'Long live the King !'

Ash I hear you've already extended your trophy cabinet in preparation for this year! Or is it too early to be talking up the trash against the roaches pre State Of Origin?
