2018 challenge bathurst eoi

[Chris L]

A bucket list job for me that one...........very keen and have started pulling the trigger on getting it all together. Hoping to keep the 'red mist' in control, that's the wife's job and as usual will do it well. Building a trailer to carry the car and camp out of............assuming we can.
Hoping to do a few events with the car prior and maybe get some new shoes for it and that will be me.
Look forward to it.

Any updates Spook, I'll be overseas on July 10, which from my understanding is when the entries will be sent out for those who have not competed there before ?
Are all interested in the same boat, eg not done this event before?
Cheers
Chris

Good timing as it was discussed on the weekend. Greg Hutley from the Z Car Club has invited a cobra crew from the A series to join them this year. Greg spoke to me about it on Saturday but as I mentioned earlier most cobra guys seem fairly keen to do the Nats this year so its not on their list for this year.

Sadly for most of the racer guys who dont run rego'd cars (Pete, Tony, Mic W, Gary H, Me etc) they dont allow your car to run unless rego'd or CAMS log booked so that puts many out as well.

To be honest after speaking to the AASA and CAMS scrutineers on Friday its becoming less attractive to run a CAMS log booked car as the AASA are putting on heaps of Prod Sports events for AASA log booked cars. Entries are cheaper and better racing for some. Covers Winton MP and WP.

Anyway, afaik there is no further talk about doing that event on 2018 but that doesnt mean you cant give it a go.

Thanks Spook for the update.
With the way the event is structured and preferences given there is a chance it will oversubscribe and newcomers will miss out. The guy from the Z Car club you mentioned, is there a chance I can climb in with them and be sure of start ?
If that's in the too hard basket I understand, If not can I get a PM with some contact details if at all possible ?
Thanks anyway
