Not done Bathurst yet, no doubt we will get down there one day.

I'm surprised at the singular lack of interest, maybe the phrase "have tickets, will trade for beer" will have some effect..........

You will have heaps of Petrol heads coming at you now. I love it but I'll stick to the F1 in Melbourne.

I do prefer F1 - been there watching and marshalling, and I love it. What annoys me about Indy is the fact that the V8s are what most people want to see, and I just don't find them that interesting. Still, its a fun 4 days - as well as the weather is decent.

Arrghh shucks. We fly back to Sydney that day from the Gold Coast.
My brother in law is a right petrol head and would have loved to go.
Typical, he arrives same day as Bathusrt and leaves asame day as the Indy.
Plans, what plans?
Thanks anyway.

If you want to use the tickets for the other three days, let me know - there are two tickets, valid 21-24th October, so you could use them for Qualifiying & practice and stuff if you want?

Thanks for the offer. We're all booked up. Besides which, the other halves wouldn't be too impressed if we took them on holiday then left them to it whilst we done "man" things! Cheers anyway.

The beer is still fermenting and I'm trying to find enough Old Speckled Hen bottles ... might be a bit tight deadline-wise ...
