Between now and the MTC 2014, I'm copying down every lame excuse people are posting in this thread for NOT attending, then will be publishing them into a book called "101 Lame Excuses For Not Attending The Best MR2 Event In The World" .

If you managed to get the slushdub running knightrous, I'd do everything in my power to make this event, so I have direct competition ;)
Otherwise we'll just have to see what happens. Engine rebuild will be complete but I can't vouch for what state the transmission will be in.

Hey Aaron let me know if ya need help writing up the 101 Lame excuses haha I'm sure there's a few comedians here

  easy for you to say when you have the cars yours working on in the same vicinity as you. but when the car you are working on is 900km away from you its a different matter. If I could work on the car at mine I would definitely have it done, not like I can even go down and just work on it over a weekend. 10hrs drive down, 10hrs drive back. there is saturday and sunday, with no time left to get anything done on it.
 
I want to get to the event, but not gonna happen unless I quit my job and win the lotto.

Let me know what text format you want Aaron.

Maybe we can get my car out of the workshop and get yours in there? Then its a bit handier for you.

cheers for the offer pete, it not the mechanicals that will be holding it up, it really is the paint job and body repairs, as I need access to a large air compressor and welding equipment. the paint and body will take a solid 3weeks to get done. I only have 3.5week leave available this year, and we are forced to take 3 weeks over xmas. so no spare to go down there to get the work done until xmas. then after the body work is done I can bring the car back up here and refit everything at my pace.

we are forced to take 3 weeks over xmas

Don't you just hate that ****! I'm forced to take about 2 weeks off every xmas which is bad enough. 3 weeks is even worse!

Great to see so much support so early in the program.
The people who cannot be there to drive are more than welcome to help make it all happen. Like last year, you will receive a few perks like hot laps in some of the cars.
Any feedback on the addition of the regularity?
What about the 'state verses state' team events?
 
 

I reckon for the interstate challenge, it'd be easier to just look at the average points for each state at the end of the event, rather than doing an actual separate competition.
