Glenn Pickering rang me last night to let me know that the THE NATS ARE DEFINITELY GOING AHEAD As of last night they had 75 entries which is just enough to support the event. There are 11 sliders but only one bloody sidecar*. The entries close today so there's hope that the entry list will reach the 100 mark. Because of the low entry the club will be forced to join some classes together and some of the age groups are in doubt.
Despite the sadly dismal support from racers, the meeting will be a great event because those who have made the effort are the 'true believers', possessing the spirit and drive to ensure the event is successful and fun. Bring it on.
*With all of the loud talk from the sidecar folks, pleading to be included and promising to enter, recieving only one entry is bloody disgraceful. Methinks there are a lot of questions to be asked of the sidecar division. They talk the talk but rarely back it up with serious action. If they want to be taken seriously in all divisions they need to get their act together.
