there is an unwritten law that you can save a spot if you leave your tarp there. in 2011 we set up our tarp in prime position at the end of conrod on the saturday after top ten shoot out, rocked up the next day 30mins b4 race start and the hill was PACKED! but our tarp was untouched and we promptly stolled in and set up our seats camped at the main campsite at the base of the mountain and it was pretty good, muddy as f*ck though so take some gum boots didn't go last year because I was stuck working in PNG....spewin!
