Most enjoyable weekend as usual, thanks again to the organisers!

Next year sounds extremely promising with the chance of reintroducing the drags, and adding a dyno comp to the already successful mix.

...and sorry Danae for reducing the visibility for you on the khana course a couple of times first event i've been to where the course marshals encouraged me to put on a smoke show for their own cameras! I think I have black lungs now as a result

Cheers

and as for the numbers....

i think a few people may have been limited cash wise also... worried about jobs and other things...

the rain deffinately put a dampner on things... but you make the best of it...

Kev's stimulus package didn't come through in time? I'm sure he mentioned the Toynats as an economic booster

Just sifting through photos now...yes you may have reduced some visibility....

Yup, previous events have been bigger, like double....I think next year it's going to be huge

Twas a great weekend.
Pity about the turnout being a little down, but fun was had by all anyway (especially laughing at Rona trying to eat a pizza, etc on Fri night )
Congrats to the CCG guys for the turnout.
The rain may have been a dampener to others, but for us AWD guys, it made it a lot more fun. Actually being able to get the rear end to slide around helped.

Coming home with 2 trophies was a big surprise.
Certainly ending up with the fastest overall in motorkhana before the weighting for the classes was a supreme shock. After it dried out at lunchtime, I thought there was no way that I'd still be faster than Steve in the Sprinter.
He was certainly on another level of driving control. Spectaular to watch.
The motorkhana location was a million times better than last year.

Alchemist, PM me your email address or something I can send my pics to.

Big Kudos to Stitt and jase in the magna were killing it

Hey Guys,

I was up in wellington/dubbo with the missus visiting her relo's when i saw a whole bunch of toyotas cruise past and i remembered toyota nationals was on

I errr got lost in dubbo trying to find the motorkhana for about 30minutes, finally found it and arrived at around 3, so i wasn't there all day, i got a lot of photos and am going to be posting most of them up tomorrow night, sorry about the delay only just got back, im knackered.

Had a great time and enjoyed the show, will be coming up next year also, in my own car instead of the girlies

I think ToySprinta deserves +++ rep off everyone for putting on an awesome show the whole weekend. Was awesome to watch and certainly gained some mega street cred!!

[wagonist]

heh heh thank you for putting on a show!
down with the bathurst popo though

we found out later that those weren't Bathurst police, but Sydney highway patrol just up for the day...
