Nissan Datsun Sports Nationals 2007

[R31 Gagz]

Hey All,

Just wandering who from SAU are going to the 07' Nissan Datsun Nationals at Phillip Island?

http://www.ndsoc.com.au/mambo/content/blogcategory/88/76/

Im already there and from my experiance of the past 06' one in Shepparton it will be an awesome event for any Nissan Datsun enthusiast / fan.

Cheers!

I'll most likely be there

[Snowman]

I plan on being there.

I also believe a few SAU NSW guys plan on coming down as well for the event.

Im there, Im 50/50 if my car will be finished, but if it is im running it on the sunday, if not look for a really really really drunk guy at the pubs

Should be an excellent weekend. I much prefer Philip Island as the venue over Shep, hopefully there will be a big turnout.

is there a club sprint as part of this event?

I am going

...from my experiance of the past 06' one in Shepparton ...

Just to set the record straight, that was the Skyline Nationals, and was organised to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the R31. (IMO, NDSOC should never have been involved at the level they were, but that's a whole different kettle of fish).

This is the Nissan Datsun Sports Nationals (originally Z Nationals), which is held every second Easter. Organisation rotates between the Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane Z clubs.

There is a thread in the National Events section, which I put up late last year.

who knows if I will attend

[JAGR33]

Anyone entering their car for the sprints??

Snowy? Scotsman? Dane? Anybody?????

Read the entry form and it states that there is a $75 entry fee, then another $190 for the sprints in which they anticipate 3 timed runs on the day...

I'm very interested, although $265 for 3 timed sessions sounds a bit ugly.....

[Snowman]

Shit - I haven't actually read the entry form yet but I had planned on entering the sprints. But I won't if it's $265.

If it's just $190 I'll be there however.

I also see it's only a 75dB day as well. Be doubley bad to pay $265 and then get kicked straight off for noise.

[JAGR33]

Yeah not too sure, I may have read it incorrectly...

I know JP is coming down, we need to show him how its done here in VIC!!!

Will have to find out on pricing, I'm interested either way in doing the sprints...

[blind_elk]

You have to enter the Nationals before you can enter any events associated with the Nationals.

The $75 is the basic entry fee, and generally covers merchandise and memorabilia of the Nationals.

[Syphon]

To have to pay $75 just to get some merchandise is a little harsh. I presume this means you have no choice other than to cough up money to get merchandise, which then allows you to attend any other events.

Add the costs of accommodation, petrol, food, grog etc and it wind's up an expensive weekend!

Shame about such short notice, otherwise I am sure alot of people would have had the time to account for the costs and put some cash away.

Why should they have never been involved Greg? It was a very successful event for the NDSOC, and one they actually made money from, unlike almost every other national event the club has hosted. I am sure the NDSOC would be really pleased to hear a member of their committee is bagging a very successful event. Every one who attended had a ball, and that event is one of the reasons so many will be attending the nationals this year, and an event that you never even attended, and yet you are passing judgement.

Despite other NDSOC members trying to sabotage the Skyline Nationals, it was a huge success, and one that will be repeated next year.

Im still confused, at this stage I will be only going to look around on the saturday and watch the sprints on the sunday etc...

SOOO In regards to the whole $75 fee, does this mean that you have to pay the $75 to get into the track to watch? and to be invloved with other events?

$75.00 gets you entry, a momento pack, and entry to the track, and entry to the concourse. It does not let you compete at the track, or attend the trivia night. It will also cost your partner, or additional people extra money to attend the "Welcome barbeque" and the Farewell Barbeque, where your entry fee of $75.00 covers these two items as well. Oh Presentation dinner is $65.00 per head, and no kids allowed. Oh no kids allowed to anything basically.

cazz - so basically if I was interested in competing in the sprints, it would cost me $75 for entry, and another $190 to compete in the sprints??
