So is anyone doing it this year. People are telling me that numbers are low and sponsors are pulling out. For all the talk around of OS rounds etc etc it seems odd they are neither runnin the OS rounds or all the usual state rounds.

For Vic its only weeks away, which is strange as its only been 6 months since the last one

lol I think they are looking for different entrants, not less entrants. In the could I did skylines were never really welcomed by the organisers or many entrants because their porsches were getting beaten.

They love getting beaten by Datsun's...

If the enty fee was the same as last year I would be more inclined to put in an entry. Especially since the event is the same as last year.

The good news is the less entrants there are the less people I have to beat. :blink:

But yes - their major sponsor (Alphera) has withdrawn their support which means a whole bunch of their original plans for 2008 have had to be shelved. It will be interesting to see what impact this has for the future of the series as for me I loved these events as it was really the only place I could showcase a car like mine in a National Motorsports event.

But having said that the fact the series now seems to have stagnated means this will probably be the last year that we'll run so hopefully we can have a good crack at the National Championship. Then it will be onto new challenges for 09 and beyond. :down:

Yep - co-driving with Pete Blythe. That should be fun to watch as Pete can drive..... entertainingly :(

See the link for some Pete antics @ DECA

Afraid it is. The only good news is it was his own car this time. The last time he blew an engine up a week before a Dutton Rally it was my bloody car/engine!

He's got his hands on another one though so with a few all nighters they should still be in the game.

    • I found the same with Subaru’s.  I own and love the SG9 Forester, after that model 2008+, Subaru threw the ugly stick at all their line up and somehow managed to make them look worse with every succeeding year.  lol
    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility   
    • I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...
    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something
