Guys whoever is worried about the national park run regarding being too low or front bar, its not that bad.
If you dont mind driving on Parramatta road then you wouldnt have any problem what so ever.
If anything the roads are in much better condition then parra road. A little bumpy, consider driving on a bell curve diagram with lots of twists and turns. |

Aka, I've been to National plenty of times and after every run I've noticed more and more paint chips occurring. The height of the car isn't too much of a concern, as long as you aren't fanging it throughout the entire course. If you do, you'll most certainly miss a bump and crack your front bar or something. |

Vinh we should only be there for about 15-25min depending on how you drive.
last week when me and Jeff did the trial run the roads seem to be in good order. Unless they resealed the roads since the last time you went. |

Aka, people tend to let loose on cruises.
Last time Jose, Brad and my self did a trial run. On the cruise day, the cruise litterally was half the timing we spent on the trial!
National Park is going to be a big culprit for people letting loose. I've suffered stone chips and side skirt and front bar scratches as well from that run. |

Aka, I'm not afraid of damaging my kit mate. I'm afraid of people in front of me flicking tiny pebbles onto my newly sprayed car. Like Duy said, National Park is going to entice people to let it loose. I don't think I'm going to risk it so I may not even go into National Park. |

Peter, easier said than done.
Stay at the back I hear? and let the rest of them leave you for dead? Yeah its happened before, either keep up or be left behind. |

Duy we already have 10 cars attending. Its a bit different then just having only 3 cars. Where you really dont have to keep an eye out for the rest of the group.
Chances are people would be more sensible & will take into consideration that there will be some who will take it easy. Lets face it it’s a cruise & lets cruise together. No point in just speeding off and leaving the rest of the group.
And if anyone do decide to let loose, they should do it at their own risk and Soarer Central or myself/members will not be held responsible for your corse of action. |

Unfortunately, reckless drivers will be putting the clubs name to shame regardless. One car or 100, just like the Hunter cruise. One burnout put shame to the club.
FYI, the Soarer cruise we organised had about 20+ Soarers. |

Like you mentioned Duy reckless driving will bring shame to the clubs name. Therefore I accept members to drive with care and be sensible.
If you really want to tackle the road and let loose feel free to do it at your own time off public roads. |
