Check 4th last pic, at least 9 or more NA's in that row

And another row behind that up against the fence including the 7 unmodified NA entries, plus a couple of modifieds including one NA wearing SE shoes.

Blue with the trailer at one end, I think white NA at the other, just past the red one with SE wheels. Should have taken more pics myself!

The cars were grouped together in categories and the carpark had 2 levels. NAs were all on the top level, most NBs were there too and all NCs were on the bottom level. It was easier to get group shots of the NBs and NCs since theer were more vantage points.

I'm glad to say that I managed to get Gina ready for the NatMeet:

We were allocated two "crowd favourite" votes so here were mine (yes, there's a theme here, both featured plenty of modz and were executed very well):

I almost hate to admit that I like John's NC since I don't really like them. I took the last 2 photos above during lunch which it why the car's wet and there's nobody around.

Unfortunately the run to Maleny was pretty much washed out and the views were almost non-existent.
After the final stop, I followed the wrong "leader" white NA and when I realised it I decided to make my own way back via Mary Caircross Reserve to check out the "view" from there. I'm glad I did because the photo turned out shows how bad the "view" was:

Yeah I was only looking at the small version of the photos and managed to mistake that photo of NAs for nb. My bad :S

Well, that's it for another two years. Victoria/Tasmania in 2016.

I was glad as an organiser that everyone seemed to really get out there and enjoy the event despite the weather on days 2 and 3 that stuffed up the runs for which there had been considerable planning and effort.

Track day went very well without any damage to persons or property.

The run and lunch on day 4 went exactly as we had hoped. The weather that day made the drive through Kenilworth, the lunch stop on the terrace at Flaxton Gardens and then the run down the twisties back to Caloundra spectacular.

On a personal level, I was very happy to get a first in class in Concours d'Elegance, bridesmaid in class for the sprint and bridesmaid in the regularity event.
