We have to park in the mulga to ensure the corporate and brown nosers don't have to walk too far in the high heels and fancy clobber.
When we arrive the corporates/vips are still asleep dreaming of the grand entrance they are going to make

We arnt fortunate, we just pay the excessive amount for the ticket thats all.

Never had trouble getting out ever.
Mind you we leave later as the bar is open until 6

On the Sunday is even better as when they lock the gates and keep the people out of the back of the pits, we are still inside and wandering around

….but you drink the place dry - there is nothing left for us when we finally finish up much later after dismantling things,collecting gear from around the track, attending to paperwork, hearings etc.
Enjoy yourself and try to plan to come over for the 12 hour or even the 6 hour at Easter-great events with a much to offer.
PS have an ale for me please!

Actually its quite the opposite. My mate doesnt drink at all. I try keep it on the low down as I like to remember my experience

Im sure your experience is just as great. Nothing like being involved. I always prefer to be working on the cars in the pits or on the track at the drag racing events than being a spectator
