I am considering it....... It is $1100 in fuel just for me to drive there and back.........

Sadly the Cobra won't be making the trip, another blue car should be taking its place.

Default Fuel fuel fuel

Towmaster, (or should that be towie ) based on your present position....

We drive V8's, fuel des cost....... I understand its a bloody long way

Also, there is always a bed and repair shop @ my place if you come down earlier,

It's a 2.5 hour drive to Winton from my place.

There is always a spot on the grid for non Shelby cars.

Careful quoting costs as a reason why you may or may not attend an event.
I was told once if that was an issue (cost of attending) then maybe I shouldn't own a Cobra.

I'm also keen to come down for this event but haven't committed as yet.

I was told by a few of the Vic racer guys that you can't sleep/stay at the track in your trailer like some of the guys do at WP, QR and MP. I may have a new trailer then so can sleep/stay in it so was hoping it'd be ok to sleep at the track like many do at other events.

Can anyone shed any light on that one about Winton?

Thanks in advance
Spookypt.

Spookypt,

I am not sure about staying at the track, the drop bears are an


issue that time of year

Maybe drop Brooke an amail to find out.

We have two of the night events at the Gateway Motel everyone stays

there so they dont get busted by the Cops
