Same here luke, I made the trip down with about 10 mates for the weekend. I Was dissapointed with the turnout after traveling so far to be there. There needs to be pre paid tickets to make it a worthwhile event, I am more than happy to enter even if my car will be there or not, or throw some sponsorship money in on behalf of my business. I'd be very happy to see this show go ahead again, as I'm sure everyone else would

The best part of the weekend was Bendigo and watching the WA boys Vs Trent in the skanky girl competition. Ol Trent one in the stink 2 in the pink Flybye Was a pretty sweet weekend. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Definately made the first few runs of the next morning interesting... well hungover. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Hi all, based on our past experiences with holding events in melbourne, we'd be happy to put something together, if the numbers are high enough in concrete. and based on these numbers, whether the event will be held over 1 or 2 days. If anyone is seriously interested, let us know.

Sounds like there might be quite a few ppl interested. Should get a poll happening for rough numbers?

Yep I agree we need a poll. It seems there's a fair bit of interested. Hey Mick are you organizing it?

lol. Everyone will say they want it... 10% will actually turn up and 1% will bring a car. It's like holding a birthday party invite on facebook where everyone says theyre coming and then the majority never turn up. Someone has to put their neck on the line with the money for this to happen and it might not pay off... Steve has already said it wont be on this year so why not start getting things organised for next year.

If Mick wishes to run the VL TURBO NATIONALS event he best get in contact with me with an offer to use the naming rights or purchase the company. Mick has no affiliation with the business or name. VL TURBO NATIONALS PTY LTD is a registered company name and the rights are held by myself. He can run any event name he likes but it wont be this one until my decision is made. With the interest sparked by a few of you i will be giving it some further consideration for 2013's event. However just 20 people wanting to come wont get the ball rolling just yet for me. POLL's are very exciting yet prove absolutely nothing unfortunately. We did this for the last event. There were lots of people who could have, would have and should have been at the event or entered but unfortunately come race day they were no where to be seen. By all means i will watch with great interest if you wish to run one. If you have a workshop, or business that would like to show interest in sponsoring a VLTNATS please PM me.

I think all the big workshops should be approached first and if they are in, this will filter through there customers and so forth, which should generate solid interest. Im from NSW and i know plenty of us would be in......

Hi Steve, at no point, did I mention the name, vl turbo nationals. So please, chose your words very carefully, all I ever did was help you mate.
