S'pose so, we were scraping ice off the windscreens on the Monday morning last year

At those temps you'll need the AC in the truck

Don't forget the pepper!

I think there are 65 entries all up. Bit low and a bit of a shame given the weather.

Quite a few broken cars today.

So How did the Pace cars go on their first nationals outing. Did they handle well?

Default Black Mongrel ..

The weekend has passed but some things will always stick and that is the bad sportsmanship comradeship that flows through certain members of your Club. It is a minority not the majority and unfortunately this just could be the reason why this historic event is on its last days which appeared prevalent in the extreme low numbers present this year. I myself a very keen competitor ,was particularly keen to participate in this event . I was refused 2 entries based on the fact I probably ask too many questions . I make no apologies for this you see cause unlike most I am I am happy to go the extra mile t get an even better result than the last. I don't stand still I keep moving and this is why I hold as many titles as I do and have countless successions in all that I do both personally and professionally. It is unfortunate that you have formed an opinion when you don't even know me, cause if you took the time to think outside your square ,you would see all that my mates and family see. I am the first to raise my hand at most events and offer the BLack Mongrel if I know it can support a charity or raise money for someone who has less than I do . I have a great following of supporters for this reason alongside the fact that this is a great car and I drive it well. ANd that is what the spectators come to see at the end of the day. I am passionate in all that I do ,unfortunately you have misconstrued this .And made it once again based on my personality .AT the end of the day it is not about our indifferences but what brings us together and I think it is fair to say we all have the same agenda to race and have some fun. I have been left to answering to my sponsors as to why my refusal to enter was left only weeks before nationals and why on one hand you insist I needed to be a member to enter and every where I turn no one would allow me membership. I had no chance at all . From where I sit I am quite happy to not be a member of your club as this is quite a poor display and I would like to consider myself that eagle and will be leaving you turkeys to get on with whatever it is you are doing.

Interesting first post Mongrel. Welcome to the forum.

I'm not sure I know what you are talking about. Is there some back story here we should be aware of?

Why were you refused entry? Wouldn't it just be a matter of nominating your class based on the sup regs and sending your form in? An RMC with a 302 is a fairly regular sort of car. This is just a club event and it's all about getting together for some fun.

I think low numbers this year are more about the event getting rained one every year for the past few which has made people hesitant to enter.

Cheers

MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION AND COBRA NATIONALS

Hi Mark
As per conversation of the 20th September re the above applications, the Cobra Car ClubCommittee reserves the right to deny or accept applications and in this instance the Committee has decided to deny your application.
The decision relates both to membership and your Entry to the Nationals'

In the Supplementary regulations of the Cobra National it reads;

The event will be open to all financial members of any Cobra Car Club in Australia and any persons' at the promoters invitation. The organisers reserve the right to limit entries and have the right to refuse any entry. As discussed your cheque will be returned.
This decision by the committee is final and not for reconsideration.

Mark Hudson
President Cobra Car Club.
