Besides a Snowy Mountain cruise, why do we not have a national event?WRX's do, EVO's do. VLs did. With so many off shoot forums with our cars these days, why don't we once a year have one event where each forum is represented. How many of these things run 10's at a test and tune? Why not hire a track on the east coast and put 100 of these cars on it?I'd be happy to pull an event like this together with my own time, no money my way. But not without the support of this forum and the others to make it happen.There must be a reason why this has never happened before.Imagine this.Friday Night - Dyno comp at a Brisbane workshopSaturday - Track hire at WillowbankSunday - Happy laps at QRIt won't work if it doesn't include everyone. All XR6T forums. I'd even go as far as offering assistance in someway to our brothers in WA that want to bring their cars over. No one neds to make money from the event. But what sponsor wouldn't make publicity from being on our main stage. Edited 24/02/13 01:05 AM by Dagabond 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the right "people" work towards making it happen it will happen.To be honest, if the planning started today it still may be next year before it could happen. It would come down to track availability.I'd want to see it officiated as a XR6 Turbo Nationals supported by all the forums and businesses that support these forums. Plus us blokes who throw our support behind them.Problem I found in the past is the powers that be had no care for it.When was the last time this forum did a track day?All I ask, is if you read this post then make sure you comment of some sorts.That alone will decide what kind of support there would be for this kind of an event. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't there more of us then there was or has ever been VL's?Can someone tell me how many XR's have actually ran under a 11? There's at least a dozen workshops that say they support these cars. Well I say, show me you do.Trust me. If this is going to happen I will be on the phone to Spiro saying "put that bloody motor into a car" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
