I wouldn't want to create any competition here, but entry numbers so far are;
WA 37 NSW 35 Newcastle 2 QLD 18 Victoria 12 Geelong 1 SA 12 Tasmania 5 Total as of the 20/06/08 122. A big thanks to all who have sent in entries early. Only seven months left to get entries in before the goodie bag/merchandise cutoff. Order forms for dinner tickets and additional merchandise as well as entry forms for the motorsport day will be sent out in a couple of months.

Don't know what you mean by "a black ban on most hotels"? There are many hotels close to Nationals Head Quarters with prices to suit most budgets.
If you wish to attend the Nationals without a car you are welcome to stay at either the Hotel 208 or the Chifley( http://www.falcongtnationals2009.com...ommodation.htm )which have double rooms from $143 per night which includes a full breakfast. Please mention you are booking for the Falcon GT nationals to get the best rate. The only hotel exclusively for entrants bringing their cars is the Country Comfort. Just a note to people booking accommodation, most hotels consider the Easter weekend as a peak period and charge a premium or surchage during this time. We have done our best to get a special rate at selected hotels. If you require assistance with alternative accommodation please PM me and I will help to find a suitable hotel.

The Nationals guidelines state you need to be a member of a Falcon GT club to enter the concourse(You can get Falcon GT Club of SA membership at the half year price prior to entering). Entry fee is for "each car" and this gets you a goodies bag which includes an Event Shirt, commemorative plauqe and other goodies, it also covers the cost of entry to the dispaly day and other event offers.

totally agree with you on that cruise along south road up to the hills or through the barossa lots of things to do with a few cars. Any chance where we can put our names down for this? Does it have to members only? Is it only GT's or other Fords allowed to go? Thought I'd ask as there are a few of us with the last V8's that might want to come aswell. Cheers Nickd |

13th Falcon GT Nationals Motorsport Day Update!
Unfortunately, due to a change of Adelaide track office staff earlier this year and despite our regular contact with the replacment track manager of A.I.R, confirmation of our booking has been misplaced. We did try repeatedly to renegotiate the booking but no interest was shown from the Australian Motorsport Club representative. At this point in time we have been advised there is no other event booked/planned(at A.I.R) for the Easter weekend and the operators wish to leave the booking open until something better(for them) comes along. Here are a few lines from recent communication with the Australian Motorsport Club(A.M.C, owners of Calder Park Raceway and Adelaide International Raceway based in Melbourne). “As discussed you advised me that in November 2007 a discussion took place with the Adelaide International Raceway secretary (Adelaide Office)and at this time your organisation was advised no bookings would be made or rates supplied until the completion of the resurfacing of the Adelaide International Raceway Track. This procedure is still currently underway due to the weather has been delayed beyond our control.” (AMC) “Just to clarify what we discussed and previously advised we are not prepared at this stage to hire out Adelaide International Raceway which holds a four day long weekend with the opportunity for ourselves as the venue holder to operate our event.”(AMC) “We would highly appreciate if this is the end of this matter as the choice to leave this date open for Adelaide International Raceway is in place.”(AMC) “Unfortunately nothing is confirmed at this stage so I cannot make any type of commitments for the event. When AIR operates a event I am more than certain no other parties will be involved unfortunately.” (AMC) “The choice to leave this date open for Adelaide International Raceway is in place.”(AMC) We apologise for any disappointment this may cause to current and potential entrants of the 13th Falcon GT Nationals, this change in the event programme was beyond or control. We will have news of an alternative activity for Sunday by the end of October. |
