Who's going to Bathurst 24 Hour
I was planning to make the trip to Mountain this year for the 24 Hour. Just wondering who else was planning to head up. Just an idea, I was dreaming about a 10/10 pavilion or tent where everyone from this forum could get together for a bit.

I will probably end up going but depends on a) our soon to be born child, b) state of mind of mother of said baby and c) how many friends are involved.
Would be good to team up and heckle the commentary over 24 hours (couldn't be easy to keep up the enthusiasm/interest over that length of time) and perhaps have a brew or two! |

I will definately be going. I have already booked a few days off work so i can make the long journey to the mount. It looks like i will be a crew member for a team if all things go well. If not i will be spectating.

Sadly, I will not be there, when I get home from the V8 Bathurst 1000, i will be fresh out of annual leave and busily trying to save up more for a Mexican tour in March.
NME, welcome to the forum and make sure you also pop across to the racer's forum and tell us about you, your car and your exploits. |

I don't know if I'm going yet. Depends on a multitude of things. Might go up on Sunday for the day if I get bored.

No chance, too far away, during exam time etc, plus I want to go to the Noosa Hillclimb too, because I missed it last time.

Hang on, I know this one. It's the end that isn't on the nut but is being held by one. Am I right?

I have a day job? Maybe I should attend it once in a while...but then, motorsport keeps getting in the way.

I thought about going long and hard, but, with the four days off work for the Bathurst 1000 its too much for me. Going to Bathurst is quite a commitment any many ways (just getting there can be a chore!), what with the lack of sleep due to others partying, massive explosions, abysmal facilities etc. A 24 hour gig might be fun and a novelty just the once. I am one official who believe that organisrs could try a little harder to look after their volunteers. To be fair, what I have seen discussed in this forum is encouraging (talk of some place safe, just for marshals etc sounds good).

Thats sounds really great. I really like the Porsches headed by Lyall Williamson. Also the Alfa's from the ETCC is brilliant, I really hope they make the trip, just to see those cars on track will make the whole event for me.
