NSW wins easily by overall points, but they are also the largest contingent.

NSW comes last by points per competitor, but that's the curse of having the largest contingent.

Very hard to make a meaningful comparison I think - Less competitors from Qld and Vic, but those who do attend would be the more enthusiastic cobra owners (ie - those who compete more and likely spend more), and therefore more likely to more competitive then the average owner in their respective state.

A greater cross section of owners from NSW would result in a lower "average" result. Still interesting information. Perhaps select the top 10 cars from each state, and them make a comparison? A break up by make would be interesting to see too.

NSW certainly dominated the Show & Shine.

I don't have any hard information on vehicle makes, although I do know a lot of the vehicles.

King Cobra Positions by Make:
1st: Harrison
2nd: Robnell
3rd: DRB
4th: CR
5th: Harrison
6th: Robnell
7th: CR
8th: RCM
9th: DRB
10th: Harrison

See if I get time to do anything else with the results. Top 10 is a great idea, but a lot more work than what I did.

Craig Interesting analysis,

I did something similar a while ago looking at the CR brand of car.



6 out of the 13 show and shine awards went to classic revivals.



4 out of the 12 cars that went 1.10 are classic revivals.



6 out of the top 20 in the hill climb are classic revivals.



That is not bad for a car that had 7 cars and 11 drivers or entrants.

And you have to divide QLD results in half as you have Wazza as president and that is your punishment

Top 10 Results:

Total of Top 10 by overall points(placings) for each state: (I didn't even have to add this up)

NSW (by far)
VIC
QLD (long way behind VIC)

Same as above, but with points only for 1st, 2nd & 3rd, & Shows:

QLD - 35
NSW - 27
VIC - 21
(I really thought NSW would win this)

I can do the Top 10 in each state by my point system, then work out the totals, but that will take a lot longer to calculate.

Phil, nothing shabby about those Classic Revivals. Some of the sprint times were incredible, very impressive.
