Konica V8's at Winton

marcus · 12 Apr 2001, 15:47 (Ref:79836)

May 5-6 is the first ever round of the Konica V8's at Winton and I'm planning to go as the crowds will be down (if oran park can only pull 5 thousand Winton shouldnt be croweded)

anyone else planning a trip to rural Victoria ???

Bugger...i think i have a mid semester exam...arrrgh...and then there is the little matter of the track being 3000km away

I didn't know you had moved crash. Either that or your odometer is broken, I don't think you are quite that far away.

Ok, put another way, 24 hours drive away?

13 hours? Deadset? Did you borrow elephino's Harrier for the trip??

it was a few months ago..I forgot we stopped overnight ..I dont know what I was thinking.

sorry about that we stayed at Kempsey and it was that that took 10 hours..and from there it took another 12 hours to get home.

Bwahahaah....what a classic!

I guess the closest gauge i would have for a 13 hour drive would be from here to Bathurst non-stop...but then again that was in an old Volvo station wagon, in something a little sleeker I'm sure you could do it in 10

Well it takes about 11 or 12 including stops to get to Brisbane from Sydney and 6 from Sydney to Albury and another hour to Winton. So that would make it 19 hours tops and if you avoid Sydney you could knock at least an hour off that.

Well Crash, you could drive to my house and from there it is only 6 hours to winton and I could come to.
