OK guys, to give you as much notice as possible, we are proposing to run a "national" event for the 2008 season on the weekend of 29th & 30th November, 2008, in Canberra, ACT.

This event replaces the traditional Wagga National Finals, but is simply a national event - as opposed to national "finals".

All classes will be run, and decent trophies will be awarded based on the results of the day.

Judges will be in attendance from NSW, ACT and VIC.

The VIC committee (in conjunction with VIP 318) are currently scouting potential locations, and also a deal on accomodation for everyone.
More details will be posted as they become available.

All competitors are welcome to this event.

Vic committee dont for get November is the month for fundraising for the deafness foundation - maybe you can do something at the national event to help raise money!

Any way - ON Topic.

Sounds good. Hope everyone has a good time. At this stage I dont think I'll be trekking up there. Too close to the silly season for me to do the weekend comfortably.

Maybe. Thats if i make it. Ill be on holidays interstate and fly back in on the night of the 29th. I guess it depends how i pull up and if i can be bothered to drive to Canberra the next day after a week long bender.

Time will tell.

Just wondering...

If its only an 'event' as opposed to 'Finals' does that mean that the winners of the respective classes won't be national champions for that class???

And further to that, how are the state/national champions being decided this year?? I wasnt able to find a leaderboard for state points or anything...

(Although it could be due to my poor site searching abilities.... )

[SQXPRT]

No leaderboard this year Woody

As to the 'National Champion' - I wonder if any of the WA guys are going to drive all the way...

[Marc ♫]

It's an open event (Competitors from all states welcome) to find the best sounding cars of the event.
I guess you could call it a national event if you like - but at the end of the day it's just an open event with competitors from ACT / NSW, VIC and possibly QLD and WA.

Call it whatever you like - we're all going to have fun, socialise, and play SQ.

the biggest cost for us sandgropers to get across is fuel. looking at over a $1g. is it really worth driving over?

[data_mine]

If there's a group of you, organise a car carrier to transport cars over and back. Unfortuantely it'll turn a weekend into a fortnight.

[Marc ♫]

Make a holiday out of it.
I just want to prove to you westerner's once and for all how much better SQ is over east
