Ngk Rally Of Melbourne

[R32Big_boy]

Had a bit of fun today at the first day of events in the NGK rally of Melbourne. We started off by visiting the service park where all the teams are based. I think that the factory toyota team one of the biggest budgets at the moment, 2 massive trucks and one large truck stacked with tools.

Then headed into Healsville to check out the action at Donn Hill. There wasnt much viewing there so we left and setup for Marysville.

The vehicles would start about 100m back where they would head into a double apex right hander before opening into a 120km/h stright. Good viewing.

Here are some photos.

There is one day left, the best bit will be at the DeBortli(Spelling???) Vineyards just out near lillydale.

we camped overnight near toolangi and tried to cut through the media / official area to get a mad spot but the cfa werent keen on letting us in so we tried like 8 differnt dirt tracks (4x4ing) and all were closed by cfa and officials so we had to go the long way around and finally got to de bortoli for the 12pm stange then when to the forrest stage at 2pmish and then back to de bortoli at 3:25pm. saw OZGTR the only skybie around there. stacks of evo's and wrx's as support cars and stuff. some nice rides

[R32Big_boy]

Yeah, they wanted their money off people who wanted to view the action.

[paulr33]

nah he were happy to pay just they wouldnt let us through or watch. bugger hey. i wanna spray dodo on my fmic and be extreme. some nice cars there

[paulr33]

its cos it was the CFA and SES dudes blocking dudes off cos we managed to go down a track that was for media and officials only, at one of the mad hairpins and we wanted to watch from there cos we came thruough on the saturady thru one intersection and they said u can come here tomorrow just u cant go past this barrier we go no problems, come back on sunday couldnt get within a 1km of that area. bugger so had to a do a 20km round trip around the blocked off roads to go the other side of event. oh well still a great wekeend. camped overnight. lots of fun and some 4x4ing on some random tracks
