Only reason I suggest this is that on the 2 previous occasions I did Winton V8 Supercars - I was sort of left wanting to do a cruise - but Winton races being a full day in itself meant it was pretty tiring and there wasn't much daylight to fit in some twisties.We'd need to leave Wallan BP on the Hume Freeway by 1pm on the Sat 23 Aug to get to Whitfield before its anywhere near dusk to avoid wildlife on the road. Wotif is already showing Wangaratta pretty booked out - but the Old Priory in Beechworth is still showing rooms for $90 for 2 people. It's also a block from the main road where the pubs are I.e walking distance. Know some of you may suggest tents etc at Winton but I'd be keener to be at a motel where we can hit a pub for a good meal, have a warm shower and sleep in a proper bed so the next day am in the mood to enjoy V8 Supercars.

Good 2 1/2 - 3 hours from Melbourne. I'd rather drive 1 hour from Beechworth and spend the day before doing the Targa High Country route.Option ASaturday1pm - Leave Wallan BP3pm Targa High Country route5:30pm Beechworth overnight.Sunday8:30am Leave Beechworth9:30am Winton V8 Supercars4:30pm Leave for home via Hume Freeway.If not aboveOption BSunday7am Leave Wallan BP9:30am Winton V8 Supercars4:30pm Leave for home via Hume FreewayWhat do you fellas think who are interested in coming along - I've been hanging out to see how the new Nissan and Mercs sound in the flesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eat scones, then run over a cyclist and drive some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
