Cobra Nats 2017!

[Tenrocca]

Hey Matty,

Kim did present the findings at the last NSWCC meeting I believe.

A few overall observations:

* People overall believe the event is good value

Ideas folk liked:
* Catering for family\spouses through additional social activities
* Driver training aspect
* Lower cost (obviously)

Less favourable ideas:
* Sharing the weekend with another club
* Greater emphasis on show and shine
* Dyno comp

Giving up the Friday Practice had mixed opinions.

Most common reason for not attending for those who have never entered is that they don't want to damage the car. Most common reason for those that have attended in the past but don't any more is that they have sold the car.

The overall feeling from looking at the responses is that the event really does not need significant changes - most people are very happy with the format. Few would be prepared to travel as far as they do for a predominantly social event.

Im sure Kim will jump on at some stage and give his feelings from the results and any subsequent discussions.

Cheers

Thanks mate. Seems like overall a good result.

To add to that to help attract a positive outcome for the event, early and consistent promotion/advertising/geeup is needed to help guarantee the events overall success. Lots of ideas on this....................

Thanks for the update.

Just on a side, perhaps reconsider the term practice in "Friday Practice".
I feel it may have a subliminal race connotation that suggests to people the possibility of "car damage".

Finicky and picky, even perhaps semantic... but calling it something like "Fun Friday" (I'm certain others would have better ideas), where you can improve, and test your car skills, and legally speed, might appeal to a new group.

This will still allow for those trying to squeeze 10/10ths out of their cars, but also make those at 6-7/10s feel the love.

Just my 2 cents...

Once again, thanks for all that you guys do!
