I'm obviously not up to date with all these events but what's the difference between this event and the Temora 1000?

Better strip and more braking distance, similar setup, probably better cars at this one over Temora.

Same dudes running it?

The same guy that ran Temora. There was some "political instability" with the other event so the principal organiser left and has started his own company and event.

There are some very very fast cars coming to Cooma

That satisfactorily answers all my questions.

Please remember that this event is not just for uber-fast cars. If you want to have a go, enter and have some fun. That is what it is all about, FUN!!!! ---------- Post added 16-07-12 at 13:51 ---------- But there are also plenty of very fast cars attending as well

How many runs are you likely to get?

I think I got 4 or 5 last year.

6 this year. Smaller field and more time in the day[COLOR="Silver"]

So, the question is, will there be any fast VL's at this event?

I'm keen, may have to step down from 3.9:1 diff gears though. If my cars looking right for it I will enter in the next month or so if still possible

Bit of luck ill be there
