Practise
Note the last 2 - I heard that Skaife and R Kelly had a big T-bone ....

I believe Kelly spun (clipped the tyres) and was in the middle of the track when Skaife came around a corner blind (damn concrete) and had nowhere to go except for straight into Rick.

:headbang: ... poor Skaife / HRT

[CarlFST60L]

Im busting to see some footage of this... anyone..?

[Hazza]

Just what they need after trying to recoup from Bathurst :headbang:

[CarlFST60L]

Why is the internet news so sh!t house...?

I went to the trouble of signing up to channel 7, and i get the same story, all text, no new facts, no video, not even a picture :headbang:

[Chowny]

Just back into reality after another great year at Indy, if you havent been its well worth the trip.

Good stuff Chowny ... do you watch track side or do you have accomodation with a view ?

F1 and Indy are definately on my must do list ... one day.

Me too Paul. Woohoo! great w/e. Spoiled by having my car towed...:flame: .... Moved it out of the secure car park under the units where we stayed (at 1 am) and thought I'd parked it in a really good secure safe spot so that I'd be able to get away quickly after the race. (the car-park was locked until 7pm) Came to pick it up .......nothing! No signs no nothing....Cost me $140 limo fee (no cabs) plus $410 towing.....plus repaint my spoilers where they damaged them by dragging it onto a flat-top.... VERY P.O :flame: I'm so angry I am still shaking! Going to try to sue someone....Not Happy Jan!!!

This year was the 1st year we had on track accomodation, picked up a last minute cancellation last week and im so glad we went again. We have been 5 times before and stayed off track at Q1 and Peninsula which were great.

Relatively cheap also at $440 per night for a 2 bedroom apartment between Falken & Bigpond Corner in Main Beach.

That is shit house Seldo!!! fair dinkum! Not happy Jan would be an understatement.

I didn't check out until this morning so i had no dramas parking, plus we had an On track parking pass for our other car to, You didnt get one of those?



The event is such a great weekend with so much to see on and off track (off track enternainment was plentiful this year :yep: ), Wendy come's with me every year and has a better time than i do at it i reckon.

Once i get home ill upload some photos, i was dam impressed with the Eurocopter Tiger attack helicopter the Army had on display, awesome piece of machinery!

What happened in the ChampCar race? Did Will Power win? I only saw the start & haven't heard or seen any news clips. And isn't that a fantastic racing drivers name???

Hey Eric

Unfortunately, Will was a DNF - hit another car when attempting to leave his spot in pit lane, which damaged his front RH wheel (struts I think?). He continued racing but was struggling with the steering and not long after he spun out and crashed.

Such a shame. And I agree - best name ever !!

Cheers Lynda. I saw the first lap whilst at work & that was it. He was leading then :bravo: . Sucks about the rest. I did tape it, but finding time to sit down & watching it is another story.

It's certainly a great event. There is just so much to see and do and it's one huge party. We always stay at Sunbird on the outside of Falken corner - we book the same units each year - awesome view right down the back straight, the Chicane, Falken and down to the Esses (whatever they are called). We book 2 units - one without a track-view for us ...ermmm....mature persons so we can get some sleep as needed, and one as the party unit and for watching from....
Yes, I had a resident On-Track Parking Permit plainly on view in the car. There were no no-parking signs at all either, and I parked there on the Friday night with no dramas along with 30 other cars....
