did you have accreditation?

i wanted to go but the release said no spectators allowed

[luke001]

And I was bored today to :rolleyes: Ah well, at least my stop motion kept me entertained for the day :D:D

I remember reading something about spectators being allowed but they had to stay in the paddock all day and could only leave the track at certain times or something. I liked the no dummy grid bit haha.

4,5,7,8 get my votes.

No i didn't have accreditation, in the official sense anyway. My father is the CEO/GM of Queensland raceways (Lakeside and QR). So I can get near on anywhere. I will probably try for Cams accreditation in the near future, not sure how hard or whats involved yet however.

Spectators were allowed, but if you went inside the pit area you had to wait till 1ish to leave the pit area, as the only access point to that area is to go across the track on the front straight at the present moment. But if you stayed on the outside of the track you could come and go as you pleased.

Crud! When's the next meeting there? 6 months or something isn't it :D

[mr_squiggle_1]
