See you all there, either in the paddock or on the track.
Some of us will be camped in the grassy area just behind Honda Corner.
As the VRA saying goes, "When the flag drops, NO MATES!!!"

Neil, it only shows the Saturday & Sunday event times . Do you know if they are running the same schedule on the Friday???.
Different schedule.
Friday is practice and qualification.
Can post schedule later tonight once I have access to scanner.
If you are coming down and in an Alfa, preferably an Alfetta, let us know, we might need your Alfa for parts.
Thanks fine . I will probably be down on Friday. Any idea on how long the walk back to Melbourne is.

If you are still walking back on Sunday, I'll give you a lift ;)

Gully,
I am sure your TS gearbox will come in handy at some stage.
Do let us know you are coming.
We have a parking pass for you to park next to us in the paddock, makes it less of a walk and easier to get the parts needed.
Update:
I'll either be catching the bus down on friday or if the Met timetabling makes this impossible i'll bring the 105 ( parking it at San Remo) . And Gary Pearce before you ask no you can't cut any bits of with your oxy torch.

Good luck Neil et all - looks like the weather gods are going to be extremely kind to you as well.
Yep. Fingers crossed it stays that way.
I'll be down on the weekend, but leaving the spare twinspark transaxle behind, and bringing the 159 to be safe.
