    And mine - ~725 photos of Butterfly alone got whittled down to ~210 keepers, with about 70 making it to Facebook (there were a few that were quite similar so no point doubling up)

    Was struggling with focus-tracking and metering issues all afternoon (lens not reacting fast enough, and stupid me kept it on matrix instead of spot so had to blow out the backgrounds to get the cars clear) hence so many got dumped, maybe I'll fork out ~$2k for a 70-200 f/2.8 next year (or just spend that money on the car so I can enter events and not have enough time for photos)

    Such an awesome weekend. I was hell bent on attending this as a bit of a swansong since I've put my AW11 up for sale and expecting our second child later this year, so will be going quiet again for the next 18 months. Came down to 2 days before Dubbo that my car was even registered (first time in years).
    Despite the increased entries for the 40th anniversary constraining time a little in the events, was still a blast and great to put some faces to forum members, since I've been lurking around for 5 years now.

    The downside to this is I REALLY want to try to come back in future, will just have to see how things pan out on the Toyota ownership front; only another year til historic registration is an option, though with no garage and little carport/driveway space not sure how this will work out.

    Bringing a stock car with auto transmission I already knew I'd be slow, so was chuffed when finding out that simply not hitting cones in the khana and running all courses nets you a good overall time, in my case 18th overall and best AW11.
    Drags there wasn't really anything I can do apart from lots more power and a higher stall.

    Maybe I'll start accruing 86 specific parts (anything that carries a Toyota badge) and enter my Toyobaru
