Weekend passes are paid for at the gate upon arrival. $30 per adult, children under 14 free. This includes your camping if you wish to stay
overnight.
If you have the weekend pass, you are welcome to stay for the Tappet Cover Races. These should get underway between 8 - 8.30pm once the main meal is
finished, so you can come back later if you are staying elsewhere.

Cool, was wondering the same thing.
Better pull the tappet covers off the old 40Hp so the boys can get started and be involved.
Looking forward to the event again, hopefully a few more cars this time. I'm really hoping to have mine there next year, lot of work though.

Is anyone from Sydney (or Brisbane gong through Sydney)heading down to Portland at a leisurely pace?
I'm considering taking a couple of days to do the drive and enjoying the road trip. I've planned a bit of time of in February so there's no real
hurry.
Is anyone interested in travelling in convoy?
Regards CT

Looking forward to the event Craig.
I assume it is OK to camp at the track from Friday onwards?
If not, any tips on local motels? (locals, any inside tips?)

well yeah you'll have to play it by ear.. although its been mid 40's here
for the past week or even month, its cooling down a fair bit,
haven't seen rain for a while though so not sure.
i will say when it gets windy it really get windy, and bloody cold
and the tracks not in the best spot wind wise.
anyway see how you go.

Hi Dave,
Your weekend passes include the option to camp at the track, and some of the SA guys have hired large marquees for their vehicles, so there will
always be a covered spot to throw a swag. However, it would be very tempting to stay in town, as Portland is a very pretty city with a nice variety of
accommodation choices.
See you there.
Cheers
Craig

haha you should try living here.. it can go from heat in the 40's to almost arctic
weather.. all in the same day! its crazy. but judging by the weather we've had lately
compared to last year i think it'll be quite pleasant haha.
I'm just hoping Dave can show up some these V8 boys.. we have a heap in Portland
that think the little daks cant hack it.

Never count your chickens.
We are talking about a man, and a machine.
Neither is perfect, and anything can happen 2100km from home...
Predictions on what happens will be,
what ever happens on the day.

I agree Dave
After talking to Craig on the weekend, I have decided to go down, not as a passenger with Craig in his comfy T5, but going to tow the bug down for a
bit of fun. Approx 4400km round trip from here.....WOW. Cant wait for the road trip to begin, but I am busy servicing race car, trailer and tow car
atm. Will I ever learn....
