I went last year and will be going again this year.I think we should really support this event. Its a great "Old Style" race circuit. You can see alot of it from any point and there aren't any high barriers to hinder your view. You can take your own BBQ, beer, they don't search your bags and you park sometimes as close as 50m from where you are sitting.Anyway, if you are interested just pop a post down. TICKET PRICING: General Admission - $65.00SundayQualifying 20 minsRace 67 lapsMEET:BP Wallan at 8am (plan to arrive earlier if you want to sit down for a coffee).RULES:1. Obey all laws whilst on the cruise; this means no speeding, no overtaking over double lines (no matter how safe you think it may be), etc...2. There is a designated cruise leader who will lead the way and set the correct pace for all cruise members.3. Use the Buddy system - always make sure you can see the car behind you. This will give people behind you an indication on where to turn to make sure nobody gets lost.4. CB Radios - if you don't have one, follow the maps and directions given out. It is highly recommended to have CB as it enhances the enjoyment of the cruise being able to hear about road hazards and join in on the social chatter.5. Please turn up to the meeting points with a sufficient fuel in your tank and enough time before the departure time.6. By attending this cruise you agree not to hold FordXR6Turbo.com, it's Administrators, Moderators, Cruise Controllers, or Owner responsible / liable for any damage and / or grief sustained (simply; you are responsible for your own actions).BRING:40Ch UHF CB (optional)CameraHat, Sunnies, Sun ScreenWarm Clothes (it's May after all)Folding Chair (essential)AerogardRefreshmentsWe'll see how we go with a BBQ - have not organised one yet.(L-R) Rudiger Evil Adam Rusty (not )CRUISE LIST:1.

I don't know what the support car is like but practice would be good to watch and I know Connor would have a ball. Be nice to have a few ales the night bfore and not worry about driving. But you know me. Two pots and I'm off my face.But yeah, if I get some more interest I'll look at booking a site or something. Even if its just you me and Adam. We just wont go swappin wheels again.

I went one once with Adam, Winton is such a close up in ya face track and it don't cost much to get in like the Grand Prix - just gotta plan to drive-up there and back.

Just need to bring folding chairs, umbrella if it rains (tis May after all), esky of refreshments, and we might organise a BBQ but unfortunately, I don't have a portable BBQ (though I can provide a gas bottle) and there are no public ones on site around the trackside - most people just bring one along (which I find amazing yet pleasing in this day and age of safety but it is the country-side and not big city )At this stage, my preference is for Sunday 22 May.Sunday 22 May1.
