"No passangers, spectators or pets" ... that's what the confirmation material from JB sais.

Though, at the HSCC Winton day in November you can do so (not sure about pets though :-). That is unless something has changed since last year.

Guys,

I am interested in driving up as a group - when are you going - the guy I spoke to at John Bowe Driver Training suggested travelling the night before to reduce fatigue on the day etc. but that creates a time issue for me.

Post when you are going and if I can, I'll join you.

I will be going in the morning of the 10th. I will be coming down the night before as I am from Warrnambool. As someone said is more fun going as a group. I had a great time driving up to Dalesford with 2kturkey leading the way. Iggy_type R rekons they normally meet at the Caltex on Hume. This is only my second outing with the S2000 group so I need someone to lead on this. Not very familar with Melbourne.

So, given we are likely to at least have a few for the drive as a group, can someone confirm a time and location.

Caltex on the left, Sydney side of Ford
Time: ??

We will need to refuel on arrival so that will need to be factored in. I'd post an option here only I can't even remember what time we start at the track?
