Haven't been for years. Used to go with a mate who has family there. Always got seats opposite the pits, prices were pretty cheap too. Don't mind the drive to SA.

You go and enjoy the weekend.

G`Day Tony.
I`m in Melbourne doing F1 stuff,so will not be there.
Glad to see things are going good enough for you to be able to fly home.
I hope you have a great time, so relax and enjoy one of the best meetings on the calender.

[Softy]

Not to sure to be honest.. always been to busy watching the airtime.... Can't wait to see them fly at the track tomorrow!

[threedogs]

Mingay spinning onto the ramp... Couldn't do that again if he tried. lol

[threedogs]

Bloody Jenner was leading next thing he's 5th and not a chance at winning.
Love the way the shocks absorb those jumps, very smooth

[Softy]

Just looking at the radar here... Going to be chase i reckon.. lots of little pockets of heavy showers heading towards the track... Bring it on!

And humid as chit... gotta feel for the drivers and fire Marshalls.

[threedogs]

Bloody flogging down ATM

[Softy]

Just call me Softy the weather man...

It's over already.. GIS has it in these conditions.

[Softy]

Give it about another 20mins.. just as the track dries the 2nd lot of rain will hit the track. ;)

[threedogs]

I like giz he's an awesome driver not a fan of Wincup wrong attitude in my eyes
Drying out quick looking forward to this second down pour

[jay see]

Looks like the weather has stopped the race.

Edit.
It's back on.

[threedogs]

Hope all that rain come this way,
Bit of a farce all power goes off race suspended.

You must have been watching a different race to the one I went to, I thought it was great.

Guess you do not follow motor racing as he has won Bathurst and is on of the rising stars of V8 racing.

[threedogs]

Yeah Ive heard of Percat was a bit of a smarty a few years back ,but he's only young
Hard for us to understand when nobody else knew what was going on, a farce IMO
Still loving those stadium trucks what motors do they run?? edit:: LS3
