Andrew, great pics, must be a bonza camera.

Looks like a lot of guys and gals had a great time.

So, who were standouts?.

Looks like a barn find! On the track at a distance, the black looked awesome! I like your idea for colors though...

Wow, so many well presented cars and nicely shot too. I love this blue on blue paint scheme - any chance the owner is on this forum?

Back home at last....missing the Nationals already.

Many many thanks to Phil, and all of the N.S.W. gang for an outstanding job.

All of the Queensland gang have expressed their gratitude for all of the efforts made to make this week so special.

Cheers,

Warren.

Default The Committe make me look good.

I thank you all for your kind words of support for the testing job we had at the nationals this year.

The rain certainly slowed down the racing but the atmosphere was electric with everyone taking the opportunity to enjoy each others company.

The real thanks go to the committee who work hard all year round making the event the success it is.

Dave, Don, Jeff, Tracey, Phil Lynn, Margaret, Peter, Kevin and Karen.

I would also like to thank all the competitors and friends who give us the support, who accepted our decisions and always looked at the bright side of the challenges we faced.

A big thanks to all the volunteers, flagies, and scruteneers. To the preses, Tony, Cameron, Warren and also the SA rep Bruce for giving us there time in judging the cars in the show and shine.

A big thanks to all of our sponsors, please look up our website as we have them listed and please support them when ever you can.

Not long to go before the 16th Cobra Nationals can’t wait!

Phil
