Believe entries closed Friday, this also appears to be the modern competition only, although the other classes wouldn't have as many competitors.

Dont know who organised it but Targa Adelaide is the following week.

All the east coast people are doing that as it forms part of the championship that includes targa tas and has demonstrably better roads than here.

Its a shame that the numbers are so low as Bob has gone to a massive amount of effort to rejig the event. The entry fee is down and they have taken out things like the accomodation at Burswood which for locals seemed a bit silly. A lot of the liasion is gone aswell.

IMHO (and I have entered) is that there is 200km competitive and you do almost every stage 2 or 3 times over 4 days. Entry fee is $5k if you dont early bird before the end of May. Targa Tas is 600km over 5 days and is a $6k entry. Not 1 stage is repeated whatsoever. Yes you have to get there and all the rest of it but it puts it into perspective.

I think given that there is only 2 cars coming from the east it is probably as good a field as they could of hoped for. There are a few notable ommissions, Hamilton, Jones, Major, Wilson etc.

They were sending out dramatic reductions in entry fees to try and get new competitors, dosent look like it was all successful.

They subsidised east coast entries by $1000 and they got 2 cars from the east. One is Jim Richards who is obligated to attend by Shannons and i have no idea about the other guy in r32 gtr.

With adelaide starting the following week there really is no incentive for the east coast guys to come across.

In other news my nav pulled out as of this morning....

Not trying to sound arrogant but i really dont want someone in there that has never done it before.

Ruari did occur to me. He is overseas at the moment but i will follow up with him when he gets home.

I Spoke to scary this morning but he is too busy with work which is a shame.

I have another couple of irons in the fire. Trying to get something sorted out this week.

I have asked ben searcy if he knows anyone that is available. Also asked toni feaver if she is available. She would be awesome.
