I know I'm a bit late now for Kim's meeting however there's still a year to go 'till the next Nats.

The Nats used to be a really social affair where everyone could feel they're a part of it. When we were forced to come to the controlled environment of Wakefield, it naturally evolved into the fast track work we have now. And most people like that.

I think it was a good move this year with the Show'n'shine & motorkhana package for those who don't enjoy the sprints. It brought back a few of the people we lost over the years, and I think it will encourage a few more back.

Given that Sunday is sprints all day, I don't see the real need for the lap dash on Saturday afternoon. This session could be used for something like a regularity, or paired two up event. This might even encourage more ladies or family members to drive if they have someone in the passenger seat for re-assurance. Given it's the Nats, I Sat and Sun should be completion events and save training and familiarising for Friday afternoon.

Mads, We've never had a regularity event at the Nats, they were included in the NSW club track day's. Getting through the Hill Climb, Go-whoa and drags with 100+ entries used to take up to about 3pm Saturday. Occasionally some free track time was able to be allowed after that.
