Im flying over for a few days next weekend, just wondering if anyone can give me a heads up of good viewing spots on various stages?

I've been involved for the past 3 years, know the stage marshalls very well. The starting day is one of the best days to come out at see the cars and watch them thrash the city streets, than theres a few other courses I have been told are good and have delivered. I will post up the stages here but they should be on www.classicadelaide.com.au anyway.

EDIT http://www.classicadelaide.com.au/ca/spectatorguide.htm - GO HERE, what you are looking for no doubt.

No matter what, come to the Prologue, and then the last 2 days for the Adelaide Hill's runs.

Hey Roy..... I was a Official last year in a Course Car, unfortunatly i took my time sorting stuff out this year and wont be one........ BUT this means i will be going to watch it from various points! and as a bonus i have the pace notes and maps of all four days! Very Handy!

If your looking for great spots to watch from, there are HEAPS, just gotta know when they start coming thru and and when the roads close off.

I assume you have been to thier website??

But be sure to go to the Street Party on Friday night in the city on Gouger St......... Cars all line up for viewing and a crap load of people, with a crap load of cafes!

Oh yeh and the Prologue on Wednesday i believe........ they use part of the F1/Clipsal track, well thats if your here then!

Yes Deluxe I was going to get to all that, Roy, what he said! lol. :D

What did you think of last year's Deluxe, those Redheads and Road Car Ferraris make you say "Lucky Bastard..."?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
