You're quire right Toads, earlier this year was pretty quiet - only two weekends in February, one in March, one in April would have been wet so as long as the race had been scheduled for one of the dry weekends then it would have been OK. Mind you, that is only one year's results.
Gold Coast seems much drier now than it was in the early nineties when the decision was made to move the date. Back in them dark days it was still possible for the edge of a cyclone from further north to impact on the Gold Coast - don't know why it doesn't seem to happen so much now.
Maybe it was just the "luck of the draw" but the weather was quite "iffy" for a number of those early events.
In any case, the weather was one of a number of factors working against moving the date to Autumn - it could be that the perception that the weather is less stable is a better way to describe it.
