not liking my chances of being there this year, which would be the first in a fair while I have missed, perhaps my absence will see a change in fords fortunes though!

mate of mine has his own Bathurst every year where we do up (a little) our own bombs and race em. then there a smash up derby before we go up and watch it on the big screen, saves driving up to the mountain and its much more fun ;)

Howdy Mate.

We camp in the paddock camp ground but we have friends that we visit in that camp ground. They have no troubles and there seems to be reasonable facilities over there.

cheers
