So who is planning to go?

I am undecided at the moment..entries don't close till early march might win lotto before then.

Me.

In the new car.

Doubt I will have a full NC by then, so probably enter regularity (again).

Am I imagining it, or has the price gone up this year? Still less than a grand though...

:mrgreen:

I think last year with entry, practice and garage was about $800...this year $930 so has gone up...$270 for one garage space is a bit over the top...we might be sitting out in the paddock this year.

Entry for support races at the bathurst 12 hour is about $1500 so we are doing OK still.

At this stage MX5 Racing have 4 NC's hired out - 3 for racing and one for regularity. There is another couple of guys interested so so there might be some more :mrgreen:

We'll be setting up Chateau Miata in the paddock somewhere

I am in, well I hope I am that is.

Have booked a garage spot, so there should be some room

ed

A grand for a weekend as good as this is sooo easy to justify.

Anyone booked accommodation yet, last year stayed at Bathurst Motor inn, it was great value and pretty well located. They have a few Budget rooms left at $80 and some executives at $150 a night. Phone: 6331 2222

Are you going to do the IP races at the 12 hour Brett?

We are not expecting another baby this year so I will have no last min problems where my car goes to Bathurst without a driver.

It would be good to set up a big MX5 area like we do for the V8's if possible and as I was not there last year can people suggest where we could do this and if there would be a cost to do so.

Keen to keep all the hairdressers together to maximise the amount of bullsh#it that can be spoken.

I used 1 set of tyres last year. I bought them for Bathurst and I definately need a new set for Bathurst this year, which will be the next meeting I do. Not bad for 8 race meetings.

I'm going to enter FOSC Bathurst again, but doing it much cheaper this time. Towing down and will most likely setup the tent in the paddock.

Meant the shade port. I'm not camping. I draw the line there. No farkin food available at the track remember. I have booked a room where we stayed last time. It's $151/night between 2. I'm sharing with Darren B. Neil, Tony, Peter & Robin ect are also staying there again.

I've entered and lashed out on a garage spot. Mainly because the paddock at Bathurst is very dusty and sloped. If it rains, it turns to mud. The tar sections where the V8 support categories camp is also sloping and in the warmer months, the bitumen melts under your feet. Not to mention it ain't friendly to trolley jacks or jack stands. It it frickin expensive though - guess Mercedes aren't sponsoring the event this year......

I was thinking more of where Chris Gough setup last year ie right behind the garages. Calling Chris.....did you pay for that mate? Anyone hassle you?
