Maybe next year, without A series clashes and an even healthier cobra community we can get back and group participate at this event, Certainly it was a good fun event but date clashes and other garaging issues it now passes without our clubs participation. I'll still go out and help the boys throw around a few spanners!

Yep unfortunately for the Cobra brigade this event has clashed with the A series for the last 2 years. Previous to that we had a Marquee (we chose the location, we either had grassed area or Tarmac at the end of the pit strait) setup which was made affordable by a sponsorship arrangement with Moreton Hire.
The event has drawn the attention of other racing categories now and as such the original event (mainly a sprint event) has morphed into a race event with some Muscle car sprints (undersubscribed) thrown in for good measure.
Don't think this event will get back to the way it was, more chance of a new event springing up I think.
There is limited garages at Queensland Raceway so I am guessing they are offering them to the race categories first then if there are any leftover then the support categories scramble for the rest.
The other option would be to do what we did at Bathurst and buy some 6m x 3m Marquees ($350 from Anaconda) and setup on the bitumen at the end of the row of garages?
