Thanks Rodomo and Tinks for setting me straight :blink: .....

It is all so obvious now, that I am actually awake....

The scary bit is I actually read the Heading and in my Zombie like state :ZZZ: it just did not register... :spit:

So I will see you there, so you can hang it on me for this moment of stupidity :rockon:

Regards
Duck05 or should that be "Cranky05".

Not too stressed about the speed, just as long as we get there and back. So about a 6.30 - 7.00 AM pickup?

If I can get there, a cheesecake is coming. Maybe not the 2 year old one though...


Any flavour in particular? I'm thinking cappacino or something similar.

Yep, that's the plan. The Rangie drives a bit like a speed boat with a tandem on it. I figure that's because it's rear suspension is set up similar to LH-UC Torana :blink:

Will talk later about pick-up time.

KMart Campbellfield carpark as usual, everyone knows where it is.

I'll be leaving 15 mins earlier than everyone else to pickup Knoath from Craigieburn and meet the rest on the Highway.

Only 40 sleeps!

From memory
$40.00 to run
$15.00 - $20.00 spectator
BBQ? no ones done that before, probably won't be allowed in pit area
(The track canteen is always open for lunch)
Gates open 9:00am
Scrutineering 9:30am
Racing 11:00am - 4:00pm
Heads up & Dial your own

Cruise up, meet at KMart from 8:00am, depart 9:00am usually gets us their between 10:00 & 10:30am.

P.S. Macca's across the road is open for early morning coffee's & cholesterol muffins to help wake us up :ZZZ: before we leave.
