I would hope not because then it would be no point to qualify! Qualifying would essentially be a practise session.
Anyway, the whole shootout thing sounds like a heap of fun so count me in!

hey guys, brenton here. Absolutely awesome race meeting, congrats to the guys running the computer. I know it aint easy, but i dont think there was one incident where we were left waiting more than 10 minutes. I also loved the shootout idea, and i think it should become something seen more often.

Also, a general thanks to everybody at the club, even tho i have never been to the track, i felt like i had been there forever, really really good atmosphere.

Thanks heaps, and i hope to get some other toowoomba guys to come down in the future.

How about running up the front of the final qualifier, and to find out 5 minutes in your transponder isn't registering. They entered the wrong number into the computer.

Thanks to Gold Coast Off-road club, Jeff, Simon & all the helpers for a great weekend of racing. Your doing a top job for the amount of time you have been up & running. All I saw all weekend, was a great bunch of friendly people having a great time. Your on the right track for a new club. All I can suggest is that you accept all criticisum, good or bad, as the worst thing you can do is ignore it. Most of all just keep on doing what your doing, as you have the potential for a great club down there for the future.
Once again, thank you for your hospitality
And good luck for the future.

Yep, big thanks to Simon, Jeff and others. The atmosphere the whole weekend was outstanding.
Track preparation was superb. Keep those angled jumps, they add good character to the track!!
Also thanks to all the voluntary marshalls!
