To be honest , I'm not even 100% sure where we're staying

Cal arranged our accomodation and last time I spoke to him he was going to book some rooms at the Criterion hotel. It's in the middle of Warwick about a 5-8 minute drive from the track. Easy access to food and beverages

Sorry mate, I thought you were talking to Chris x2 about the garage

I'll be taking up my 6 x 3 marquee for the weekend so won't need a garage.

Thanks, Paul.

Good to hear fish. I think I might have booked an extra room at the Cry by mistake. Perhaps check how many I booked when you ring up.

Looks like we have another starter in a NC to add to the list

The Reverend (Dennis) is joining us in his car as well.

I checked out a bit of footage on youtube from the MX5 race and it looks like a terrific circuit for them. :mrgreen:

See you all there.

Chris.

Just finished speaking to Paul Antienoff who works behind me. He'll be competing in his westfield and he knows of about 5 other cars that should be there. Looks like we might have a 20 plus field

Yeah, I'll be sticking to 2F as well.

I'm hoping that somehow the regs can be fine tuned so that both the NA and NC 2F cars can remain competitive against each other. There seems to be opinion at the moment that there is a lot of potential in the NC cars, which could see them quite a bit quicker than the NA cars once they are developed. I know it's natural progression but it'd be a shame if that ends up being the case and suddenly everyones ditching their NAs to get into an NC.

Car is looking great Neil...always liked NB in white...I still want to build a yellow NB...

Cal/Neil...are you able to organise Morgan Park and Lakeside on 2 consecutive weekends for next year.?

fish · Postby **fish** » Thu Sep 18, 2008 2:11 pm

yeah i have heard a bit from Cal on this
and have thrown him a few ideas
i am looking forward to hear what Chris comes up with .

i know that I and a lot of the other guys will only buy into an NC series
if there are a strict set of rules so as what has happened in the NA's can't happen
i also would like to see it implemented in a way such that the current NA's don't become worthless...

i am loving the concept and will definitely support it ... :mrgreen:

SKYHI · Postby **SKYHI** » Thu Sep 18, 2008 2:21 pm

That's great news. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's concerned that their investment will become uncompetitive overnight, because someone with deeper pockets can afford to build a quicker car. I know that has already happened to some extent with the NA cars, but the gap is not that great, and some driver ability can still make the difference. Obviously the concern is that the NC seems to have so much potential that they could end up streaking the NA field and then it's game over.

If these regs can be introduced in a way that keeps them on par with the developed NAs, then it's a win win for the category because there will still be some subtle differences between the two models, which will make for some interesting dices, and at the same time, the NA cars that may be put on the market can still be sold as "competitve" cars and they will retain some value.

Look forward to hearing more about the proposed regs, maybe in a new thread
