I'm looking through the Melways at the moment... Yarra Glen doesn't seem like a very suitable route. We're gonna jump on the Hume probably, who's gonna meet where? We may join you...

Hi Heath and anyone else from Melb, heading for the Hume, See the quotes below!

I'm looking through the Melways at the moment... Yarra Glen doesn't seem like a very suitable route. We're gonna jump on the Hume probably, who's gonna meet where? We may join you...

So lets get an idea of those wishing to meet at Kmart (cnr. Mahoney's Rd and Sydney Rd, (Hume Hwy)) at say 7:00am for a 8:00am departure and the early birds can chew the fat.
A convoy of Torrys is always a good thing. 10-4, come back rubber ducky....

So meet near the main entrerance to Kmart @ 7.00 AM, not near one of the other shops in that centre? I'll be bringing a cheesecake and a couple of bottles of non-alcoholic drinks in the esky to the track. Anybody else bringing something to share? After reading some of the other comments, I thank God I've had two cars registered and ready for 4 months. No, neither of my UC's will be there. This latest project of mine has gotten in the way big time.

I think on the West side of the car park, closest to Sydney road, we have to go back out on Sydney Rd to access the Ring Rd to get to the new bypass.
It's only from 7:00am with the intention to leave at 8:00.
If you get their at 7:55, the only thing you will miss is the early morning BullS@#t session and McDonalds for breaky :spit:

Heath and Chopper you guys are round my area too, which way are you going????

I have a 6.00 AM specialist appiontment in Croydon tomorrow morning. When I leave there ( which could be as late as 7.30 AM ), I'm heading Croydon >> Box Hill >> Greensborough >> Campbellfield Kmart.

I just might be running bigs and littles on the work van for the cruise up. Tyres, that is.

LXCHEV here (I'm at debs house),

Ok guys we are planning to leave from out our way at 7.30am from Repco Bayswater (canterburry rd) for anyone that wants to convoy!

We are heading out thru croydon, ringwood, etc end up on Grimshaw Street then we will be turning right onto Greensborough Hwy. Soon after we turn we will pull over in the emergency lane for anyone who wants to quickly meet up and continue on to the Metroplotin Ringroad on the left.

Follow that and it eventually joins the hume (vearing left) and that pops out at craigieburn.

If anyone needs to get in touch with us, contact brett on 0414 412 964

Catcha all there tomorrow!!!

p.s tiny and simmo have landed, aparently the spa room is grouse and his slab of bundy is going down a treat!!

p.s.s change of plans EHGIRL is going, lxchev and shubes cars are staying home!! hehe.

Sleep? Nah, who needs sleep??!!!! I haven't had much this week, and it was all for nothing!!!! It's funny though how Deb suddenly turned around today after we knew my car wouldn't make it, and she said "Do you reckon we can get the EH fixed today". So yet another mad panic and shazaam, one dead sexy EH is now fixed and ready to race. Her car has been off the road for what feels like months now, will be good to cruise it up tomorrow and let the girl go crazy. I will be armed with the video camera and the digital SLR.

Best of luck to everyone tomorrow..... here's to a good day of racing...

I think after tomorrow, we should end this thread. 31 pages and still going strong. Whoever posts up first, maybe start a new thread called "Drag Day - The Aftermath" or something similar!

I told you 3 days ago you had it upside down!

RACV MAN (Who has attended advanced Melways reading courses Inc. Module 7 - One eye on the road while reading Melways on your lap. Module 13C - Reading Melways on your lap while keeping 1 eye on the road in peak hour. Module 24D - Reading Melways up in the visor while keeping 1 eye on the road in peak hour. Module 27A - Reading Melways up in the visor while keeping 1 eye on the road in peak hour and perving on females on Glenferrie road.

Chopper can probably confirm and FASTEH has something to look forward to.
