The WA WRX club will be collecting the entry forms and fees and will require the forms posted along with a cheque for the entry fee. Unfortunately we cannot use EFT. Entry fee will include a BBQ lunch and a drink.

We will only be running 15 cars from each side, so it's first in best dressed.

Can't wait for this. Anyone from Antilag competing (other than Franz)?

[Volatile Rob]

Howdy BAS,

I'll be competing in my VII.

Are you driving down Friday or Saturday morning?

Rob

[BAS]

Rob- i think most of us are staying down there Friday night at the Collie Ridge Motel. Not bothering to meet up for the drive down but we will be having a feed (& a few beers) at the motel at about 7.30 Friday night.

Better than leaving home at 5 in the morning Saturday!

Taken from Evolutionoz.net as posted by Ben (WRC):

I'm glad everyone had a good time. From the organisers perspective everything went fairly smoothly. Had a couple of scares (like having some Wesfarmers employees coming and telling us that they wanted to take the motorkhana area off of us so they could run some haul trucks through there!) and a couple of blonde moments by yours truely in the timing tower.

There's a long list of people we have to thank. Firstly Lindsay from Wanneroo Mitsubishi for not only their financial support but Lindsay's extra effort to come down on the day with the BBQs and his sense of humour to feed the troops. Also thanks to Kerry Wade from Bridgestone Tyre Centre in Bentley and the boys from Racetorque for unhesitatingly stumping up some support for the event. There's plenty of businesses that are happy to make money from enthusiasts like us, but when you look for a bit of support the other way you quickly see who's willing to support the community they make money from and who isn't. Thanks guys.

We'd also like to thank all of the volunteers who came down at their own cost and gave of their free time to make the event happen. Glenn for coming to the event's rescue in the last week when our Club Steward had to pull out for personal reasons, to Chris and Glenn for sparing me the headache of trying to get the motorkhana gear working so I could concentrate on the circuit timing and to all of the flag marshals: Lucinda, Craig, Chris, Rob and Ian. I'm sure you had a good view out there, but I'm sure it wasn't particularly warm at some points!

Personally I'd like to thank Danny and the WA WRX club for really going out of their way to get this event over the line. It's easy enough to come up with the idea to run an event like this (I'm a good ideas man!), but not so easy to get it to happen. So thanks Danny, OP, Lyall and the WA WRX club for the work you guys did to plan the event and then to make it run so smoothly.
Thanks to all the competitors for their great attitude during the event. You guys where a pleasure to deal with and I had a lot of fun watching the battles on the track and seeing how excited people were getting when they came to the timing tower to see how they were improving.

Finally thanks to all the spectators that came down. Hope you enjoyed yourselves.

Fastest Marque for the day went to the Mitsi boys. Chris took posession of the trophy as the Evo Oz rep. Encouragement award for most improvement on the day went to Ian Hitchins (WRX).

Having technical problems (as in I dropped my image tank sad.gif) so I'll need to buy a card reader tomorrow to get the pics up. In the meantime if anyone else has any pics or video (JASE!!!) then stick em up!

As a final note both Danny and I are interested in any and all feedback people want to give us on any aspect of the event be it positive or negative.
