I'd say yes but I can't confirm I'm definitely going yet.... PM me your number and I'll give you a call on Saturday if I'm heading up.. it's quite a long drive, but some of the roads through Black Spur and Healesville are fantastic

I was there yesterday. It was an improvement on the organisation of last year, but communication to the crowds was apalling. During SS3 there was an enormous crash which lead to someone being airlifted out. The road was closed to all until 6pm... they could've let us all know what was going on instead of having us hang around waiting to leave for a couple of hours!

A great day nevertheless; it's such a great road to drive quick. I'll be up there again next year.

Just by the way - I'd quickly like to congratulate one of our estemed SAU Vic members - Geoff Beable - on another fine effort. He finished a very commendable 32nd outright.

All results can be found on the website.

Oh - and that Daytona finished 6th outright. Must go as good as it looks.
