2010 Toyota Nationals - Qld roll call

[thechuckster]

damn shame Dana ;(

Simon was looking for folks to help share a room, looks like the kids and mum are not joining him for the trio down.

[adamaw11]

Its not looking like I'm going, mainly from being too slack with getting organized, and that there's hardly anyone I know making the trip now.

As for UHFs, a half-watt one probably does the job. I got a two-watt one for a bit over $50 a few years ago

[GTA22]

Oh well, it looks like i will be the only Queenslander going again.
I have accoomodation booked and may have some spare room if anyone else can make it.
There are some rooms left, but only rooms with a queen bed, so if you are still considering going you had best hurry.
I will be leaving about 4.00am Thursday morning and traveling down the newel if anyone wants to tag along.
Let me know if you are interested

[sillycar chick]

Yeah Im spewing we cant go as planned, I was really looking forward to it. Just cant afford it at the moment unfortunately

[Andrew162]

I think I'm gonna be soft like wilbo and blame lack of motivation, but my car's not ready for it and I've had no thought to actually booking accommodation for it. Not only can I not afford it either atm, I'm still prepping my new rims for a respray and I need new rubber for them too. Ho-hum.

[adamaw11]

I've gone back to being a maybe. Shouldn't be that hard to get there, fundage should be ok, and the mr2 seems to be driving good lately - apart from burning a little oil (I figure I could get my money's worth out of those valve stem seals with one more trip to dubbo )

There's still a few in the the thread that havn't piked? If there is a convoy, I'll try and be in it.

[thechuckster]

Adam: have a chat to Simon about accommodation - he's got a few beds in his room to fill up.

Hi again guys n gals, we're not sure what's going on with everyone this year, but at this stage (10 am Sunday) we DO NOT HAVE ANYWHERE NEAR ENOUGH entrants to run the drags.
The drags were one thing alot if people wanted and we kept getting asked for them and they're expensive to run. We've kept up our end and given you what you want now I'm asking that you please, please, please PLEASE get your entry forms in ASAP.
Cheers Danae Blundell & David McNeill

[adamaw11]

yeah I'm dissappointed by the lack of QLD participation this year.

I won't be going in the drags myself, but will be in the motorkhana, is it possible to fax in the entry forms?

[Gypsy23]

Hey all, firstly, If anyone still hasn't got their forms in, please email them before tuesday......I have been emailing responses to the forms I have received if you haven't got an email from me then I don't have your form.

Secondly, if you are coming to the nats but are not in any driving events but plan to attend welcome dinner and presentation dinner then I need to know, email me your form please.

Thirdly, the drags are on but will not be a closed event as we had originally hoped for, The Dubbo City Car Club guys will also be drag racing with us........there should be some interesting grudge racing....c'mon the 'Yotas.

Lastly, to everyone thats attending the Nats, we look forward to seeing you all again at one of the best all toyota events in the southern Hemisphere......oh ok eastern seaboard of australia.......

Have a safe trip out everyone and remember its double points all weekend.

Cheers Danae Blundell

Will be emailing form tonight - but I'n only a spectator this year (damnit).

Any ideas on likely Dubbo weather for the weekend? BOM shows night down to ~15 but days as high as 30.

[GTA22]

For anyone else going to the Toyota Nationals we have a spare bed available that we can let out if anyone is in need.
Otherwise we will see you there as heading down Thursday morning, leaving at 4am if anyone wants to tag along.

[thechuckster]

4am wtf? :-)

BOM currently says min 11-26 fine for both Friday and Saturday that is pretty good considering it is pissing down in Sydney right now

[thechuckster]

form sent, money sent, bags not packed, no food/beer pre-purchasd, iPod missing, camera batteries flat, no fuel in the car, bank balance anaemic ... cool - looks I'm ready to go ;-)
