Update: This was just sent out to the club

Update Number 2 Distributed July 2008

Here is the second update on our progress towards the Nissan Datsun Nationals 2009 (NDN09). This update includes all the key points from the previous update plus a few more.

Here are a few things you should consider well in advance of NDN09:
•   Make sure you are on the register to receive these regular updates.
•   Make sure to let us know now if you have a preferred competition number (no guarantees, first in best dressed)
•   Book your accommodation ASAP (or risk having to stay further out of town)
•   Make sure your membership to a CAMS affiliated car club is current.
•   CAMS 2S (Level 2 Speed) License for those participating on the track
•   CTP extension for road registered vehicles competing on the track
•   Appropriate safety gear for those wishing to participate on the track
•   Appropriate maintenance / setup for those wishing to participate on the track

It is getting increasingly more difficult to find accommodation within walking distance of the social events and car display.
Here are some potential places you could check if you haven’t already:
•   Amble Inn
•   Criterion Hotel
•   Langham Hotel
•   St George Lodge
•   O'Mahony's Hotel‏
•   Pitstop House
•   CentrePoint Mid City
•   Club Hotel
•   53 on Victoria
•   Comfort Inn
•   Best Western Golden Harvest (A little further than the rest but still walking distance)
•   Coachman’s Inn (A little further than the rest but still walking distance)

We have calculated the entry fees to be as follows:
   Early bird entry fees
(Received prior to Oct 31st)   Standard entry fees
(Received after Oct 31st)
General Participation fee   $185   $210
Motor sport fee   $130   $140
Total   $315   $360
We are finalising the entry forms and payment methods. We hope to circulate the registration form in the next few weeks.

Opportunities will be provided on the registration form to purchase additional merchandise, and other tickets etc.

Deposits of 50% will be accepted after the form is distributed.
The general participation fee includes an entry to the car display, a participant pack and one dinner at the dinner of champions.

We are hoping to accommodate your preferred competition numbers for the motor sport component. However we are depending on the capability of the team that manage the Morgan Park facility. If they can handle your requested number then no problems. Smaller numbers are more likely to be acceptable (eg under about 120 or so). We will have confirmation on this soon.

In the lead-up to NDN09 we aim to:
•   Continue receiving expressions of interest and begin accepting deposits in Aug.
•   Begin accepting orders for specific merchandise (over and above the NDN09 packs) in Aug.
•   Complete the processing of deposits in Nov
•   Complete the processing of full payments in Jan

When Easter 2009 rolls around the following is planned:
•   NDN09 will begin with registration and a welcome Barbeque at a key location in Warwick in the afternoon of Friday April 10th 2009..
•   A Car Display will be held in Warwick in the morning and early afternoon of Saturday April 11th 2009.
•   A Sprint event will be held at Morgan Park (just outside Warwick) on Sunday April 12th 2009.
•   A special “Dinner of Champions” will be held at a Warwick venue on the evening of Sunday April 12th 2009. The dinner will feature the presentation of awards and trophies along with anecdotes from 5 Australian Motor sport champions with connections to Nissan / Datsun.

Any word on the entry forms?  Fingers crossed that the mistress will be done for this .  I have a mate who has a 1600 he'd like to enter too.  I'm hoping there is a show and shine kind of thing happening also?

[stevo_gj]

Registration forms are out, just checked the site that I've linked in my post.

Simply follow this link:

http://zcarclubq.org.au/events/2009nationals/registration.html,

and download the forms. 

A Car Display will be held in Warwick in the morning and early afternoon of Saturday April 11th 2009.

I guess that means a show and shine? I'm only regurgitating what I've heard.

•   CTP extension for road registered vehicles competing on the track

What's a CTP extension??

[Zedman240]

I'm sure its for Compulsory Third Party Insurance....

[stevo_gj]

You only have til 15 Feb to get registration forms in guys! 

[zzzzed]

Oh crap Queensland is to far away

[sco_aus]

I can't make it anymore due to money restrictions
But when its only an hour away at Wakefield Park in 2 years, ill be there for sure.

[stevo_gj]

Well myself and sexual_sushi have just booked accomodation. We are doing general entry but not competing in any events.

Who else is coming?

[260Coupe]

I'm locked and loaded, heading up with my Zed and hopefully my Roadster track car, Morgan Park should be a blast !

[mtopxsecret6]

how much is entry to spectate.. not participate?

[stevo_gj]

Depends if you want to enter your car into the show. I'm paying $210.00 so I can enter in the show & shine and get the dinner etc but not doing motorsport.

Look on the website I linked for more info.

[Lynton]

I will be there Stevo.............Lynton

[mtopxsecret6]

spectator.. not participant. I didnt see price for straight spectator. I do not want to be a participant. Its hardly worth it at 210 to be a spectator.
