The main straight sprint is lazy and not creative. There are many options that could have filled the spot. 
 
No Tarmac stage either? Aside from diluting the event, what are you doing?  
 
Certainly not something I would have allowed had I not been banned from running the event (I created) by Wakefield Park management after 'taking the fall' for forcing WP to honour the2016 contract with WP.
 
I would like to be there to see my friends but there are others who shown their true colours who I have no interest in seeing. Best of luck to friends and supporters of the previous years. If a workshop is required to get your car back to a interstate location, I can provide a facility to get your car back on the road.
 
 
 

Wow you sound really bitter. Why be so critical of what the organisers have achieved for this years event?
 
I say good on them for repairing the broken relationship with WP management and making it happen for all competitors.
 
Wish I could attend to check it out but need to return to work on Monday.

Cafe is only open until 2pm this year. We have the tower office again, hoping the fridge is still there. So you can keep drinks cold if you want.

Am I being bitter for questioning changes which dilute this event?
I find it a joke when people who are quick to judge me when none of these 'old guard' MR2 owners did nothing remotely like this in 30 years of the Marque, with many never showed up or supported this event through it's four years of evolution.
If you cannot see constructive criticism, I really cannot explain anything to help you.

I never questioned this. I actually supported PG on this endeavour as I did not have the time to secure SMP for 2017 due to work commitments. He is one of very few who have managed a working relationship with this new management.

It certainly comes across as though you are bitter about the whole thing. Maybe it's just how I am reading your post though?
 
Why provide "constructive criticism" days out from the start of the event (which you aren't even participating in)? People are no doubt very excited about this event with some coming from interstate to attend. Why you think it's necessary to write such a negative post about it I have no idea. You could have just wished everyone a safe trip and an awesome time?
 
It's fantastic that you started this event many years ago for MR2 owners. Hopefully it continues for many years to come whoever the organiser(s) are. Maybe the event should named in your honour?

Just started our 12hr trip to WP from Adelaide, see u all on Sunday : )

Back on the topic of E85, if there are enough barrels and/or jerrycans to go around, then I would definitely be keen to grab 1-2 tanks worth.
Normally I fill up with E85 in Sydney before driving down, then I top up with normal fuel in Goulburn which dilutes the ethanol down to about 30% or so. I have flex fuel so it's not a big deal, but of course I'd prefer closer to 85% ethanol if possible.
If anyone will have enough E85 to be able to sell me some, then please let me know so I can avoid diluting with normal fuel in Goulburn.

Looks like its gonna be hot on Tuesday!

Rob I just did some searching and it seems E85 is available at United in Sutton (NSW 2620) which is 73KMs south of Wakefield Park. Depending on how keen you are you could drive down with borrowed jerry cans and also fill up your car?

"Q - Is E85 fuel available for purchase at the track?
A - No. You will need to purchase E85 fuel before the event and carry it to the track in jerry cans.

Q - Is E85 fuel available in Goulburn?
A - No. The closest E85 retailer is in Sutton - 1542 Federal Highway Service Road, Sutton NSW 2620, which is around 40 minutes away from the track and is close to Canberra."
 

I know about that United servo, but it's too far from Goulburn to be worth it when I can still rely on my flex fuel sensor and put some normal fuel in the tank.
