MR2 NATIONALS - QUEENSLAND 6TH, 7TH AND 8TH OF JUNE 2015 - OPEN FORUM
 
This part of the Forum has been provided for people to ask questions, etc. about the forthcoming Nationals 2015.
 
A new FAQ has been added above to provide as much information as possible about the event, but if you need to know more, or would just like to post something, then please use this facility. Members of the Committee will be happy to assist where they can.
 
Hope to see you at this historic MR2 Nationals, the first in Queensland.

Shaz,
 
thanks for letting us know you are coming and making the booking.
 
As you have probably seen the Nationals deal with the Colonial Village is better than offered on Trivago or elsewhere, but it does pay to get in quick as you have done because the place is popular. Your post is a good pointer to others to start making arrangements because the accommodation deal with the included breakfast is the best in town for the quality of the motel and it's location.
 
Eric had Entry Forms at the track event in Goulburn so hopefully you picked up a copy. If not then we will get one to you ASAP via email. We haven't sent them out before this as we wanted to properly finalise the costs so everyone knew exactly what they were in for.
 
The big bonus this year has been the huge drop in petrol prices which of course the Committee is happy to take credit for as it makes driving here soooooo much cheaper!
 
On the "Advanced Handling Day" (AHD) we have used this description because the words "track day", "racing" and "competition" tend to have different meanings for people, particularly when it comes to insurance coverage, and we also didn't want to make this event just a copy of Goulburn, or vice versa.
 
The AHD is based around the Willowbank "sprint" circuit (run by Willowbank, not by the Nationals Committee) and as such should be great fun with good learning opportunities on handling the car. We also have some surprises in store at the track so we would encourage all to attend. Just don't forget that there are only 20 places available and at 1 April we are going to open up the entry list to people in Queensland who are chomping at the bit to do this at Willowbank.
 
Really appreciate the support and hope you can encourage others in NSW to come along.

I am definitely going to this, and I'm sure it will be great few days.
At this stage as well as myself I know of three other MR2 Club members keen to make the trip up from Vic.
 

I'll be going, Annual Leave is in.  But I'm in the heart of it all anyway.  Car just needs a few touch ups.

According to FB posts the Vic guys are leaving Wednesday morning & breaking it into 3 roughly equal days.  If my calculations are right, that would have them stopping around Goulburn & Port Macquarie.
My plan is to leave on Thursday afternoon & break the trip at Port Macquarie.  My sister lives there so I've got free Accom.
It would be good to travel with others, but I'm thinking some of you might bet a bit frustrated with me sticking to the speed limit, lol

My wheels are 3 sizes up from stock, but I'm sure my speedo doesn't lie about the speed limit ;).

dodgee
Jjjohan just try telling that to the judge 

And getting away without another fine to do with wheels...

Il be there booked and paid
