Just went for a leisurely lap of the track to see what was happening.
Still lots of empty track wall signage space. New spectator mounds on the exit of the chase opposite the Hotel and also on the outside of the chase, but both all dirt with no grass (should be good if it rains) Also they were installing a mobile phone tower in the back of the pits, that makes 2 now so hopefully there will be reception. |

The cars back then, were nowhere near as refined as they are now, so to throw down a lap like that and knowing there was more in it, will always be seen as something special. |

This link will take you to the article in the local rag about the plane flying over the town and the track.

Sorry, forgot to mention that there are a number of photos, just follow the arrow heads.
Not only is the opening photo amazing,the shot of the plane lumbering over Rydges is great-reckon it must have shaken the place ! |

That would've been a sight to behold at the mount. Mind you the headlines are a bit misleading. A Herc isn't a big plane, ever seen a C5 Galaxy at low level? Now that's something you don't forget in a hurry. |

Pecky here are the options: part of the kangaroo culling programme to ensure the 1000 & 12 hour is skippy free, practising dropping beer rations to the bogans on race weekend OR it's all part of Red Bull Racing backing a Defence Force Recruitment campaign that will be released just prior to the race - the choice is yours.
PS. I know the answer and it has been common knowledge around town for some time. |
