Title: BBQ and Targa Rally - 30th Oct
Post by: cammmy on October 19, 2010, 10:10:56 AM
Right dudes. The Targa is going to be running within a km or two from my place. Thinking we could have a geez at the cars and when it finishes around 3-ish could head back to the morn for a BBQ and some smack talk/alpaca rodeo.

Keen?

I think I have a sweet spot!

Bridge into long, high G corner (with a dip at the end sure to catch some people out) into hill climb.

Think mum knows some peeps that live on that corner too so hopefully can get a sweet spot.

Roads are closed from 8:30 so thinking peeps should be at mine by 8, then we can walk to the place (probably about 2km or less).

Downlow on this event please?

Who, what where? Not sure if I will make it or not..

Post by: cammmy on October 26, 2010, 10:19:59 AM
This sat at mine in Maymorn. Road closes at 8:30am so I doubt we could walk to the spot I want to go to after then. Goes from 8:30 to 12:30, was thinking a BBQ back home afterwards.

Could start later but would probably have to make do with whatever spot we could get somewhere.

How many people are keen?

We have permission to sit in the paddock on the inside of this corner. The lovely lady also offered us the use of her picnic table and umbrella.
