For those who came in late, NatMeet is the biannual national meeting of the MX-5 Clubs of Australia. The 2014 event was hosted by the MX-5 Club of Queensland at the Sunshine Coast. It was the 11th NatMeet and marked the 25th Anniversary of the Mazda MX-5. And we came home with the National Championship for our Club!

The drivers for the NatMeet Track Day awoke early on Monday morning to be greeted with heavy skies, drizzly rain and a BOM radar image that didn't look good. Not the best conditions for racing around Lakeside Park that's developed a name as one of the most dangerous tracks in Australia.

Wow, what a great track day! Not too hot, not too cold, no rain, friendly competition, 8 runs, lots of PBs, and even the weather co-operated. Did I mention 8 runs, how good is that!
Due to a number of Mid North Coast members attending NatMeet XI in Queensland, it was a smaller than usual contingent of 2 cars that departed Port Macquarie bound for Gloucester. An enjoyable day was had by all, with good company, food, and our Mazda MX-5s.
