well, I just sent my entry form away And the time off work is approved So are you guys still going to be there?

I just hope the Patrol doesn't play up like it did towing my mates 240Z out to Warwick a couple of weeks ago. It's running fine again now - without a load behind it anyway. But it will get a bit of a test run this Saturday back out to Warwick for another event with the 1200.

I've started planning the trip - man it's a long way to Bathurst! Just under 1100km from the northside of Brissy. Sometimes I think this is all a bit much just for a sprint and a hillclimb, but it's a special place and I've never even been there - so the chance to compete on sections of the track is just too much to resist! Besides, it will be interesting to go up against a completely different group of cars.

With 2 drivers and 4 x 15 minute breaks, you should do it in a day. But in the heat of December, it will be difficult. To be safe and relaxed, I recommend that you stop off on the way for the night. I was buggered after driving up to Brisbane and back in 2 days. The $50-80 for a hotel room will pay off as cheap insurance.

I've been on the Bathurst track, it's bloody fantastic. It brings back the days of watching the race on the TV when I was a kid. Back when Brocky was the king of the mountain.The Caltex Chase doesn't slow you down that much.

You'll love it. And if you are racing on it, you'll love it even more.

G"Day Harry can you send your phone number to my email so we can have a TALK PLEASE dragongoose@hotmail.com
Thanks Mate

the entries go off tomorrow,so i'm in.harry,i'm not sure of the best way to go from brisbane to bathurst,but it aint down to sydney & go right.lots of bathurst people go north regularly,to grafton & brisbane,so the best thing might be to call the event secretary & get the best way.people like martin mcloughlin,wayne burden & the tuttons are the people to have a chat to,cause they all do the queensland championships.as for spectating,it's basically a club event,so smallish crowds,but easier access to be pits,where the cars will be parked on saturday,& the rest of the circuit is open,so you can pop around to the top easily.on sunday the hillclimb pits is macphillamy park,& you can pretty much walk the length of the track,but it's a real bitch of a climb back up.so come up for the day,the weekend,or so,cause it's a good run,& the bathurst museum is there if you get bored.
