Thread seems to be going slightly off topic here but yes Rice Rocket it would have been nice to have had more Scoobies at AWD especially as I was the first to turn up at 10.30 and wondered if I had the right day.
Grant, Dave and the boys really made an effort to set things up for us and I am sure they would have been a little disapointed on the day.
A special thanks to Dave Brown for his wisdom and technical knowledge around side indicators. - Hope you enjoyed the burger!!!

Bringing this topicback on subject again - the turn out at several events has been a lot lower than expected ![Frown](images/smilies/frown.gif)
I think perhaps we are all suffering from event overload - ie simply too many events to go to. No-one (not even myself) can attend all of them, especially during July and August in peak holiday season when many of us are away.
Most of us are on a budget, and attending every event simply isn't possible from a financial sense, especially if you have to use at least a whole tank fo fuel to get there and back again.
Therefore many people will pick and choose the events they attend, which means lower turn-outs than would have previously been expected for that event. Most people will go to events relatively local to themsleves.
I remember some of the first Impreza meets we had back in 1998 and 1999 - because they were some of the first, we had very good turn-outs at each event, perhaps one every 3 or 4 months. In the subsequent years, we had more events (and more people).
This year, we have had even more events - perhaps too many ?, with another 5 or 6 in the next two months alone!
Although having lots of events, and lots of choice is a good thing, it can mean than sometimes there simply isn't enough people willing and able to go to them all.
I've been thinking of this for some time now, and I think next year I'll reduce the number of events that I personally organise, and leave more up to the regional organisers to sort out![Smile](images/smilies/smile.gif)

Plus, on a summer's Saturday in August, a lot of people will be away on holiday or doing other things. F'instance I was down in the SE of England seeing some friends (made through the Scooby scene).
I don't think that many people BS about the spec of their car here. That's being a little too reactionary.

i think the track days i have missed over the last 2 years could be counted on one finger
. not very good with meets etc...
so please keep the track events as they are and don't cut them down next year!

I would definatelly like to be involved in one, no speeding of course ![Wink](images/smilies/wink.gif)
It would be a huge grin factor. Plus we've got added support from the wagon's, who could carry spares and cups of water.
