We arrived one year without any planned acc. The refueller guy..god bless him...let us sleep in the flight planning/ storage shed next to the strip. Now we know the organisers and oh how sweet a nice cosy bed is....
Race 4 / No 1. Take plenty of cash!!!! You'll love it but whatever you do, dont go expecting to meet any women.....it has improved over the years I must admit...no offence ladies...I think the ratio would be close to 1:200 now ah well, the steak sandwiches are fantastic, the beer is bearable XXXX, and the music at the pub in the beer garden is kinda modern only it has a country hillbilly beat to it that really fires up the locals.
Now this isnt everyones cup of tea but Fred Boothbys (Sp.?) boxing tent was unreal....young blokes have a good ol fashioned boxing match half cut...the crowd taking the underdog side....the memories are bloody priceless.
Cheers, PA
