I was think of going as this looks good for the bucks and its a 5 minute walk from work

Gear up for Friday night overdrive at the Australian GP
Looking for a new way to kick-start your Grand Prix weekend, then head to Albert Park on Friday 27 March for �Friday Night Overdrive�.

Melbournians are invited to have their �end of working week� celebrations at Albert Park when the Grand Prix combines live music, entertainment and a great social scene with Formula One and V8 Supercar action.

Leave the office early and be trackside by 4pm to see F1 practice and V8 Supercars racing into the twilight.

In between the racing enjoy DJs, bands and a great social scene.

What�s more � in a Friday first, a special ticket is available after 4pm for only $30.

Unfortunately, most (all?) had mufflers on at the Tasman Revival back in November. Shame, as I remember the sound of them even at Oran Park in the early/mid '70's. Nothing quite like it.

That rings a bell about Eastern Creek actually. The sound of the things without mufflers is unforgettable.

By the way, my avatar is the Elfin MR9, Garrie Cooper's ground effects F5000. It sits in the Elfin Museum at Melbourne, though I think Mrs Cooper still owns it. To see that car on the track again would be worth entry to the GP alone, though I'm not sure it will be out there.

Bill had the MR8 at Eatern Creek, but unfortunately, it broke in the first race on Saturday, so was put back on the trailer. Its sister car, that now resides in Unzed, continued on though. Yep, another gorgeous product of Conmurra Ave Edwardstown SA...!
