[Peter Jones]

Here's the location of the track.

From the regs

6.1. Scrutineering will commence at 8.00 am and finish at 9.30am. A compulsory driver’s briefing that must be attended by all drivers will then take place after which competition will commence. Competition shall consist of a number of multi start sprints, each of one warm up and three individually timed laps.

Which means I'll be there around 7:30 or earlier.

Heh, when i went down for the V8s, we had a hard time finding the entrance to the pits to get in. Benny got rather annoyed and layed some serious rubber in the blown GTO while we were trying to find the entrance.


Good luck, Pete. Are you pumped?

Jarred- You're also photographer, so get some good snaps buddy!!

[Jarred]

Good fun. So i'll be there at 12...

hahah.

i Geuss I'll aim to be there by 9, so I have a chance to catch up with Pete before he hits the track. (or do I need to be earlier Pete?)

Looking at the map, which part is actually the race track?? I can't visualise it in my head atm...

I'll have my camera ready. Unfortunately my good camera, is dead-ish, and in at the place getting checked or fixed or something. So i'll have my old camera. (well the family camera at least )

This is the map of the motorsport track, you were looking at the horse tracks.

Kewl thanks Pete. I though something was a bit horsey..

I figure LEGER carpark behind the pits would be a good place to park?

[Peter Jones]

From my recollection you'll be parking a bit further down the road, That Leger carpark will mostly be occupied by the event vehicles, it's where I'll probably end up pitting.

WOOOOH im looking forward to seeing this
catcha tommorow mate!

[Jarred]

looking forward to it too.
just have to remeber the camera

[Peter Jones]

Our cameras are packed. I bought a new tripod for the video camera too. Hopefully we'll get some good footage.

I'm not allowed to mount our HD camera in the car yet, it's a liitle too new and expensive. Might put the low res micro camera on the grill though if I remember.

Damn right you do. I want pics!!

For the 18th time, good luck!

[Jarred]

This was a hoot!

I think it's fair to say Pete had a great day, and everything went as planned. (i think )

I'll let Pete post up some pics and give everyone a detailed report

[GoLfMan]

awesome day and some awesome cars hanging around at the track.

Good work Pete, you got me inspired to get mine on the track now

[Peter Jones]

Thanks for coming out for a look guys. I got another run in after you left, it felt faster then before.

Car and driver made it home in one piece, I think the car is OK but the driver is definatley feeling the wear and tear.

Pics to come yet, once I've recovered for a bit.
