You do realise that by then, hopefully I'll have ST205 rear brakes, & my rear spring issue sorted out.
Plus 2 new tyres on the gripping end. 
Mind you I still won't be able to catch you down the straights  , you better just hope they're long enough that I don't get you under brakes. 
But BRING IT ON!!!

I'm still waiting on WP management to clarify costs but looking at the web site, it would appear the $3000 hire fee does not include insurance. If this is the case then it's most definitely a no-starter.

I think you'll find "no speed limmit" days preclude the use of ANY timing equipment official or otherwise, which defeats the purpose of holding a competition there.

I think I was the only entrant from Melbourne this year. You never know, there may be a few entries from Melbourne next year.

yeah love to see more of you guys up here . unfortunatley we need to focus MORE on a venue thats within our and entrants budgets.
that why i personally like Tamworth as you can camp the accomodation has always been the biggest cost at dubbo
so if your desperate to race but are short on cash . Bring a tent this also allows the ROWDY CROWD to party as hard as they like
we are driving to Tamworth in a few weeks and will also compare accommodation costs.

I also vote against Tamworth simply because it is further away than Dubbo!
I am planning to go in 2005 because i mist out last year, but if it in Tamworth next year well its to far to go for me.
Remember this is the Toyota Nats and must be central for every one.Thats why it was decided back in the late 70s that DUBBO was the best venue...
Its simply too far to go for us SA and WA people

I like tamworth. not because it will take an hour or two off the trip but because it will bring back what the nats are all about, driving events (and a good pi55 up). anyone can race in a straight line, no offence anyone, but circuits/motorkhanas/GTW put your driving skills to the test. i'm sure that will keep toyota oz happy. if you are patient enough, you can wait till 2006 for the drags to return in tamworth.
|
Straight line is not about driving ability - straight line is ALL about vehicle performance. Anyone can race around witchs hats too and like drags some will be betterererer at it than otherers 
Power delivery is something that will be difficult to handle on a MK or circuit in my car (with SWB and a few ponies under foot) - if it's on though, I will be there and I will be having fun with friends.
Bring on the burnouts too!

OK, Wakefield Park eventually got back to us. $3200 for track booking, $800 insurance plus ambulance plus a few other costs place it well and truly outside the 2005 budget AND, the track is booked out for Easter 2005 anyway. Still, worth asking the question though.
A week ago we did a flying visit to Tamworth to check out the venues, hotels and the town in general. It took 3.5 hours from Newcastle and with the exception of a few State Government money boxes (aka speed cameras) the road is excellent. The town itself is bright and modern looking with many parks to choose from for show and shine. One in particular is only a street away from the tows center, has lots of shaded seating, toilets and with swings nearby for those with kids.
We then headed out to the motorsport complex which is about 10 mins outside of town. The complex consists of a large grass area that is more than suitable for grass events, a go-kart track that we'll use as a GTW strip and a burnout pad that was being upgraded when we were there. The complex has 2 canteens and good toilet facilities.
The motel has 60 rooms all at different levels of comfort from the basic 2 singles to family up to deluxe units. There are even 2 really big rooms (sleep 6-8) in the corner of the motel that can be reserved for the singalong x-dressing crowd (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!). There are plenty of car parks and even space for car trailers. The other excellent thing about this place is they have their own conference room right there; that's right, no need to drive.
At our meeting on Monday night we all voted that the event will move to Tamworth in 2005. We appreciate it may be further for some but we believe the move is the best interest of the event long-term. As soon as we have confirmed the hotel booking and prices we will get the info up on our site so people can start booking. We'll also get as much up on the track and proposed show and shine location as well.
All respective clubs will be notified soon in addition to a mail out to previous entrants.
Cheers.

Some of the SA people won't like this.
The WA people probably won't care either way because its the otherside of the country, 3hours isn't going to make much difference.
A question for the SA people:
How long do you think it would take to get from Adelaide to Dubbo?
I recently did the trip from Adelaide to Sydney (Pretty sure I met you at the luch meeting Bluewire). Left Adelaide at 8:30am local time & got back to Sydney at about midnight.
I've also driven from Adelaide to Moree (north west of Tamworth) which took me 17 hours.
If I had a nice car, I wouldn't be planning on driving at night anyway, too many Skippys to hit
So this would make the trip 2 days for either Dubbo or Tamworth, just the 2nd day is longer for the Tamworth option.
Thanks for the reply & research Grant, hopefully it can be bigger & better than this years.

I think any type of move would have upset someone.
What we need to see is the guys have moved it for a reason, and as I said before if moving the event now puts it in a better position for the years to come than we need to do it. I think we need to give the Toy Nats guys our support. They have put a lot of time and effort into getting this event back, and exceeding what it used to be, and I know from talking with the guys it was not a easy decision to make to move, but it's for the better. 
Can't wait until easter '05, bring it on.

*PROTEST PLEASE NOTE*
I am speaking on behalf of my SA bretheren!
Why is the Toynats being moved even further and further away from us down south...
It is now a two day drive to get there, it should be toyqld+nsw not toyota nationals...
A more central location needs to be established!

Hi,
How many people turn up to the Nats?
Are we talking dozens or hundreds or what? Does the place bulge with Toyota-heads or not? Do you get many visitors coming to see the cars, or is it mostly the owner-drivers who attend?
Can anyone who's been to the Nats please enlighten me.

hi,
the event organisers have looked at what is best for the event. the events they are running have been chosen by the people who have actually attended the event. a poll is handed out at the end of each event, and tamworth is the venue that can offer the events that people want.
As for the distance thing... with Newcastle (almost half the total entrants), Sydney and queensland making up most the entrants.... you have to go with the majority of the clientele.
It's the same for me, i love the drags.... and with the new paint job i aint that keen to put my car on the dirt, but i think the change of events is best for the majority and the future of the event, so i am supporting it 100%.
Cheers
Stew

My $0.02 worth.
The last time I checked I was still on the orgainising comittee for the TOYOTA Nationals and this is the first I have heard anything official about the event moving. Whispers were abound at Dubbo (Easter 04) but nothing was being confirmed. It would be nice to be kept in the loop particularly if I am still supposed to be on the orgainising committee. Maybe I am no longer on the committee, hence my lack of knowledge regarding this matter.
I would personally prefer the event to stay in Dubbo due to the history that the event has there.
The support the event has with autObarn, the Dubbo Police, the Dubbo Council and being totally accepted by the Matilda Motor Inn will take years to build again should the event move to Tamworth.
There are ample places to hold Motorkhana's around Dubbo as Motorkhana's were the very basis (apart from the Show'N'Shine) for this event to start with since the inception of the Nationals in 1976. (No..... I havent been around this event that long)
As for Go-to-Whoa and Burnout events I have orgainised and run these events before at the TOYOTA Nationals (including an 8 year employment with SUMMERNATS) and it is all a matter of coordination with the local authorities and Council.
The committee has had a hard time since 11/9/01 thanks to skyrocketing insurance prices but that doesn't mean thing can't be done.
I too would love to see more standard/less modified cars at the event but that doesn't mean that I don't apprectiate the hard yakka that goes into build some of the toughest TOYOTA's in the country.

Just my $0.02 worth.
If you were on the organizing committee, how come I didn't see you at the drags on the Sunday  . Paul and Dave were there as well as competing and Grant had to go home due to work commitments but I don't recall seeing you there, please correct me if I'm wrong.
Keeping the event in Dubbo due to history doesn't help the event grow. 
autObarn weren't even interested when we turned up after the show'n'shine at the Toyota yard, even asking 8thsin the leave because it was taking up space and as far as prizes for the presentation dinner Dave and myself had to purchase those before we left and I have heard about a head unit that still has not been supplied. 
As far as the police I think we got targeted a bit this year. If you were doing something wrong fair enough, but a few were getting pull over and booked for minor things.
The Matilda motor inn is pretty good out in the new back area but no real discount on prices after all the years we have been going there. If I had one of the rooms out the front I would only be wanting to pay half the rate.
The year I seen the Motorkhana it was run in a paddock that the council had slashed the day before. The go-to-whoa and burnouts were held on a access road or something like that. I'm pretty sure that the local authorities won't allow this, the councils insurance won't allow this and the Nationals insurance won't allow this.
And with all that in mind I know thats why the committee are looking to move the event so as to bring the event in to the future and bring it to a new standard.
Neil.

Phill your help in previous years with sponsorship was well appreciated.
However due to the ISSUES with sponsorship from last year the marketing of the event is being handled with the advice of a marketing consultant .And ALL Sponsorship is being handled by myself and the rest of the event run by the other guys
i would prefer not to post publicly why we have NOT asked you find sponsorship in the future. if you would like to discuss this feel free to call me on 0425750038
As i have already said thanks for help in previous years but the event has to be taken to a more proffesional level
We have ALWAYS been clear in regard to WHO the toyota Nationals comittee is
Dave McNeil ,Paul Holmes ,Grant Blundell and now Matt Bentley .
we also recieved considerable help from Craig Stitt and Nat
The growth of the event relies on offering the people that ACTUALLY attend the event ,the type of events that THEY want
hence the introduction of a hybrid catagory to accomodate the non Toyota powered Toyotas and Toyota powered non toyota vehicles ....(yep we changed the rules to help accomodate those that where unhappy)
It is simply not possible to offer anything other than show n shine and drags at Dubbo .Both the law and insurance issues prevent this .
The go to whoa and burnout event that I organised previously cannot be run under the same conditions .
Dubbo offers
*cramped expensive accomodation (with issue from managment and entrants regarding noise)
*VERY little support from local council
*a 2 hour return drive to the drags
*not enough room for show n shine
* shitty roads
* locusts
the issues we had to deal with this year where .
1. parking and security
2 more events
3. noise at motel
4. not enough room for show n shine
5 lack of facilities at the drags
tamworth offers
1.a huge motel with the huge conference centre attached (no more driving to the presentation dinner)
2. heaps of parking good security
3. no noise issues . we have even booked two huge rooms away from the rest of the rooms for the toymods boys to party in (told you all we would find a solution..party hard boys).and the motel staff are cool about that .
we may even be able to provide bar facilities .....(yet to be confirmed)...gota look after everyones interest
4. plenty of room for show n shine
5.MUCH better facilities at the track and a VERY short drive to the track
6.more events go to whoa burnout and motorkhana
and the probability of drags at future events .
at a recent meeting the organisers decided to listen to ALL suggestions and complaints . and to the best of our ability
"Give em what they want "
The event IS being held at Tamworth in 2005.
accomodation has been booked as has the track (details will be available on the webpage at a later date)
It is Simply not possible to find a venue that will satisfy everyone .The event has been placed as close as possible to the MAJORITY that have previously attended the event
Other venues will ALWAYS be considered .if a better venue is found we will move the event there .
We are trying to offer the best for the event and is supporters not INDIVIDUALS
hope to see you all there

you do not have to be a member of any club .
The Toyota Nationals is NOT a Toymods event
it is however well supported by toymods .And all members and friends are invited to attend
To enter ALL you need to have a Toyota powered Toyota
otherwise a hybrid catagory has been created for Toyota powered cars or non Toyota powered Toyotas
stay tuned as we are looking at the possiblility of other grass events or activities .we will inform you as we progress
glad to see you guys approve

I'll be quite happy with going to Tamworth. Sounds like the ToyNats will be the biggest and best they've ever been. I guess I'll have to book accommodation soon...

We still have a few pricing issues to confirm with the hotel but as soon as that's done we will release details so people can start booking.

Neil,
Since when was it compulsory to attend all events. I didn't attend the drags as I am not interested in drag racing. It is that simple. Getting up me for my opinion is not what I thought you were about.
Paul,
Thanks for the clarification. Things have shifted since we spoke on the Sunday night at the Matilda.

Phil,
Since you made the point that you were still a committee member but had not idea what was going on regarding the changes to the event. I know that it's not compulsory to attend all the events, but as an involved committee member I just thought you would have been there to help out during the day. 
As far as getting up you, I don't think so, was just pointing out my $0.02 worth after your first paragraph having a shot at the guys/friends who put a lot of time, effort and money in (as well as you I know). Comments like that you should have taken up with Dave, Paul & Grant directly and not through this forum. Your opinion is your opinion and mine is mine, and as far as what you thought I was a about, who knows, I don't even know what I'm about.
Neil.

Troy,
Now last time you made silly comments your car only made it half way to Dubbo, how close do you want it to get Tamworth before it won't return, it can be arranged
|
no more dubbo driving fears 
tamworth seems a better idea ( and more to look at
on the side on the road if I get stuck again )
and I'll tell my wife I'm going when I'm not too scared

what are the categories?
Is one for non-toyota-powered toyotas and the other:
toyota-powered non toyotas?
Or is there just the one category?
