V8 supercars Perth 400

[matty s]

Hey guys just wondering who is off to the v8's at Waneroo this weekend.
Im only able to go Friday this year wich is a bloody shame!
I Missed out on buying my corprate club tickets this year by about an hour and a half :bawl:
Apparently they sold out in 3 weeks back in march or something!
Should be a good weekend if the weather holds off!

cheers matty

P.S if anyone has a corprate ticket that they dont want or they cant go,im willing to pay cash!!!!!.......PM me!

[RED R8]

Do you know what time practice is on Friday Matty ? I am going to take the wife and kids on Friday..

Does anyone know what it costs to go on a Friday ?

this event seems to get more and more dissappointing every year!!! i remember last year they banned bbqs etc for no good reason. I spoke to a few fireys that were around the place and they said it had nothing to do with them and they had no problem with people taking gas bbqs!! and the track and facilities are beyond a joke for V8 supercar rounds.

I have been on the friday saturday and sunday for the past 4 years and on sat and sun every time before that since i can remember. This year i'm only going on the sunday, its not the same anymore...

Was out there today and had a blast. I've always like the Friday as the drivers are at their most accessable. Here are a few pics.

Hmmmm...maybe Larry has mellowed in his old age. I still remember asking Brock and Perkins for their hats whilst they were on their way to the podium after Bathurst 1983. PB said yeah, no problem you can have it after we get back from the presentation...Larry just looked at us as if i'd asked him for a kidney! True to his word, PB met us after the presentation and signed the hat and gave it to me and John Harvey signed his and gave it to my brother...Lp just looked the other way and strolled off into the distance. We always found him to be unapproachable during his years with PB...by the sound of things he's changed his ways...for the better.

Still have the PB hat to this day although during the past 25 years my brother managed to lose the Harvey hat (and managed to let the Brock hat get damaged whilst in his care) :( A friend of my brother's (who works at the Revesby HDT) offered us $5000 for the hat after the death of PB but it holds so many memories that we'll never get rid of it (my Dad died in a car accident on the way to the 1996 Bathurst Races).

Sorry for the long-winded (and slightly off-topic) reply...brought back a few memories.

[Mungrel]

Great pics man
Many memories of Barbagello on the couple of occasions i've been.
Agreed through, Friday is the best day for access to Drivers.

[VX2VESS]

mothers day, bad planning its hard enough to watch a race, even harder on mothers day

Must get her good looks from her mother Bevan..... :stick:

I hear Garth was quickest today....:bow:

[RED R8]

Was good getting out in the sun today and soaking in the V8's...wife and kids loved it and the drifting demo's were awesome. It will be a sad day when little old Perth loses the specticle.

Ain't that the truth John.
But her mother has great taste in men. :bow: She married me!!! :smilesandbanana:

[Frenchy VX SS]

Man i love the V8's!
That pit speed limiter that has them burbling away down pit straight is enough to give a 90yr old a hard on!

Fun day..was surprised at the turn out for a friday actually, and that humidity!
Amazing just how nice the drivers are after running their cars around etc, and walking back to the pits are happy to sign and have a chat. Makes it all worth it.
Heres hoping the plans for a new racetrack do happen as WA will become the MOST boring sporting event state in AUS :bawl:

Got to have a close look at the Toll HSV cars with team manager Erik ( :bow:) and also hang out in the trailor with Rick and Paul this morning and see what goes on...awsome experience.
The team trailors are a work of art! So much shoved into 1 space but also so useable.
