Qld 300 - July 2-4

DAVID PATERSON · 24 Jun 2004, 05:45 (Ref:1014153)

This thread belongs in the Trackside forum, but a lot of you don't go there and wouldn't see it, so i'll post it here and let a techie move it, and leave a re-direction.

Who's going and which day, where will you be and shall we all meet up?

Follow this thread folks

DAVID PATERSON · 24 Jun 2004, 07:47 (Ref:1014242)

I've just printed out the event schedule from www.v8supercar.com.au and i think I'll be there all day Saturday and probably Sunday morning as well.

fordlover · 25 Jun 2004, 07:55 (Ref:1015622)

im going fri-sat&sun, it's my first V8SC event.

im going with my dad, kind of a father son bonding thing (like going camping).

i brought a general admission 3day pass for $60, are the pit passes available at the game??

DAVID PATERSON · 25 Jun 2004, 08:09 (Ref:1015629)

I'm not sure, but I think you can buy pit passes at the circuit. Ring 5461 9100 to be sure.

jetsetter · 26 Jun 2004, 02:54 (Ref:1016504)

I'll be going out on Sunday.

Crash Test · 26 Jun 2004, 04:06 (Ref:1016534)

I'll be out there doing the pit reporting thing, can't wait!! Don't forget to tune your radio into circuit commentary (around 87.6 i think) on the way too and from the track from around Yamanto before and after the race

fordlover · 26 Jun 2004, 08:40 (Ref:1016629)

are there usually superscreens at the track??

im getting all the questions from my dad and i cant find answers on the qld raceway website (i might not be looking in the right parts though)

is there track commentry (PA sistem??) or should i take a portable radio (if there is a local radio broadcast)

MonteCristo · 26 Jun 2004, 14:40 (Ref:1016761)

I'll be there on Friday and Saturday cheering on the FFord's. Screw the taxi's!

There probably won't be any superscreens. Theoretically, every spectator can see the whole track.

They have a PA system with speakers all the way arund the track. The commentary will also be broadcast on 87.6 FM.

10/10 forum members "Big Voice", "Crash Test" and "Falcadore" are part of QR's commentary team.

ok cool, thanks for the info, i will take some binocculars to see al the action & i will attempt to take a radio, iof not i shall just listen to it over the PA system.

In the couple of times I have been to QR I sat over at the back straight on the fence. You are right over the top of the cars as they go past. I have been hit in the face with rubber.

You can see the whole track from there but its a pain to get to the pits - you either walk or catch the bus.

Be prepared for a wait to get out - maybe hang around for the presentation before you think about going.

If you have been before I took the Drag racing turn off and parked in the drag car park - it was a BIG walk to the track but when I left I got straight out.

Take warm clothes it can get COLD.

Have a good day fordlover I have done this my son and we (he) really enjoyed it - I was the designated driver and he was the designated drinker (and I paid)

fordlover · 30 Jun 2004, 07:51 (Ref:1021058)

thanks for the info, i shall use saturday to "scout" places around the circuit to view.

i will be taking a digi cam & a normal film camera, so whereever i am i need to be close.

Mattracer · 30 Jun 2004, 12:16 (Ref:1021359)

Right at the end of the back straight is very good- just as the cars brake for turn 3. Between the 200 and 100m boards but don't tell everybody!! Also turn 6 (final corner ) is good and fairly close the paddock if you want to go walking between races.

My Brother and I bought a 3Day Pass. My sister will be also be going on Friday. We usually just go on the Friday but decided to splurge and go the whole three days. I haven't been on race day since a 500km race a few years back when HRT dominated. While I have been there before, a friend of my Dad's said something about the Grandstand seating costing more. We usually just sit on the aluminium seats provided, are these the Grandstand seating or has there been a new Grandstand installed recently?

DAVID PATERSON · 8 Jul 2004, 07:29 (Ref:1029894)

Well the 10/10 meet-up was a big success. I didn't meet anybody at all.
