2015 2 Days of Thunder - Towmaster

Looks like the Porsches Sprints, Muscle Car Sprints and QR Sports Sedans are almost fully subscribed with a few weeks to go.

The other 4 "race" categories are mostly less than 1/2 full. Still looking like a sprint meet to me based on the latest figures.

Trans Am QR 18/40
Group N QR 17/40
Muscle Car Sprints QR 36/40
QR Sports & Sedans QR 37/40
Classic Sports Sedans QR 23/40
QTCC QR 11/40
Porsche Club Sprints QR 39/40

Muscle car and Porsche are the only sprint events with 75 entries so far.

All the others are 'race' categories and with 106 at the moment still looks like good numbers. I am sure there will be many more by the time the weekend comes along, still 3 weeks away yet.
There is also a tribute to the Shelby Mustang on that weekend, I believe the Bowdens will be bringing a few of theirs out.
With those sorts of numbers it's any wonder our 13 - 18 Cobras got a look in really....
I remember when we first started they had HSV sprints, Ford sprints, Cobra / GT40 and the regular Muscle Car sprints. I think the only race category was Porsche back then.

Seeing how the crazies in the Group Nc and TransAm guys/gals race having 40of them on the grid would be outstandingly good fun to watch but I'd hate to be out there amongst it all.

The numbers still reflect that the sprint categories are very keenly subscribed to and its a shame imo that the GT40/cobra class got left out in the mud (literally) and are no longer there.

In the "ole days" it was a Shannons Event but after they pulled their direct sponsorship it went more door to door.

Perhaps next year we can jump in on an event that is more Classic orientated. I see that Eastern Creek has a great weekend coming up showing off a lot of old school cars. I don't believe there's any event like that happening in QLD sadly at the moment. Lakeside has something but noise kills off a lot of good cars entering.
