Not that I can find. Pretty poor given the AORC is supposed to be the benchmark all other series aspire to.

Good to see the people 'in the know' can organize such a great series.....just what we all wanted apparently?
At least they get more entries than most aust rally events that feature on TV?

I am happy to join the other 300 odd social campers at some other events, that apparently the ' in the know' mob reckon we don't need.....with my children near the pits, and even helping out.

Only 9 cars cross the finish line . Would that be the lowest amount of finishers in a Australian Rd ?

Just thought I'd let everybody know (whilst we are not aligned with any series and just race for fun) the flinders 450 was one of the best weekends I have had racing. The track was as challenging as you would get anywhere and a true drives track. The social atmosphere was amazingly relaxed and the event ran extremly smoothly. The dissapointing part is that the racers didnt support the event. National, ARB, State or local we shouldn't let any of these great events loose faith in the support of the racer, if we do we won't have any tracks to race on. If you didn't race this weekend then you missed out. Unfortunaly because of the scheduled races and budget restraints we will miss out on Morex and Griffith but if I could, I would be there supporting / racing and loving what we do which is offroad raceing! Goodluck all over the next few weeks.

Logic suggests that if you have two SA state rounds a week apart, one of the events will suffer. Bad event scheduling forces competitors to choose.

Yeah, I guess it must be a bit hard to get big numbers without state or other series backing up. Also considering there are lots of other events going on close by in both time and distance.

Safeco - sounds like you had a ball mate. :)

I will back Safeco up probably the toughest racing I've done, Finke is easy compared to that, I would be back next weekend to do it again.

As for numbers, the State and club cars were missing, I don't know the politics in that State but you have a component of various competitors attend, but from what I could see mostly only National cars turned up, which is a shame it's one of the best events you'll ever attend.

Well run ,great amenities, and very well catered for. just a shame its a sixteen hour drive.

We need to work together to reduce calendar clashes. They are not good for anyone - organisers, volunteers, competitors, spectators or even other events in a series

Surely a State Panel would set the calendar to allow a national event some protection space from the adjacent State round. Even if our State Panel in WA allowed a small gap (we allow minimum 4-5 weeks) the State Calendar committee (all marques) would not ratify it. It may even mean reducing the number of state rounds and rotating them each year if there are too many.

If we cant do it ourselves CAMS will have do it for us, and we may not like their decisions

just my 2c

From what I can remember the Moorex date was already set & it was AORCom that put the national event in where it ended up. If you remember the national calendar was set late.

Fair Cop Stingray re late calendaring. We are about to set the WA calendar for next year now. However we allow the gap for the National even if it is not confirmed. Pretty hard without confirmation. Even harder if the National is a floating date. I do believe that if a NAtional dropped in the middle of our calendar after it was set, we would shift events around to suit. We have not been put in that position as yet.

We need to support all levels of event via calendaring well as it only dilutes competitor and volunteer numbers

It shouldn't be the states responsibility to rearrange their calendar around the "late again" national calendar. it is CAMS responsibility to ORGANISE themselves and get their calendar out giving organisers and state panels sufficient time to plan around it. There is no commitment to announce an AORC calendar by a date and therefore still no accountability. nonono

Certainly would be good to get it earlier rather than later Brett! My point is events need to work together. Clubs holding a National level event should be able to bring it to the calendar table with a proposed date and be given some consideration. It can only benefit the sport with healthy National level competition.
