Hey Rob, mate you are not wrong but i came up with a strategy to deny everything and blame fozzie and bigv. I will try keep out of arms reach from lisa and have fozzie stand inbetween if lisa decides to come with us on Thursday. But mate we will be thinking of you.

Rob, we accept the chosen mission and we will not let you down. We will be thinking of you the first time we stop for some refreshment or the first artistic group shot...oh and the weather is going to be a pleasant 31 degrees.. ah the joys of city life..John, no way are we going ot take the blame - you do the crime you do the time, we will be too busy ducking and weaving..

Basically saying no restrictions on camera's and lens size as we know we can have camera's.etc...

Yes, you are allowed to bring in your camera in. I hope you enjoy the race.

Subject: Camera's


Hi, I was wondering about the limitation of camera's at the Clipsal as I read it does not have any as such as lens sizes.

Quote:Cameras and video cameras may be taken into the circuit area for personal use, however no shots must be sold for monetary gain.

Just wondering as I am from away and use a 300m lens not much bigger than the standard one, but would hate to have to find that I cant get in as I am a camera enthusiast.

Thanks

I am planning on being at location [G6] the end of Rundle Street (Stag Hotel) where there is a BASS General Admission Ticket Collection & Sales Office at 10am to purchase a General Admission Ticket. Then make my way to find 'Big' V, 'BBJ' and hopefully others. I have the mobile numbers for the two members already mentioned, and if any other Registered Users/Members want my mobile number please send a PM before 8:30am tomorrow.

Shaunus - you have 2 PM's re meeting up for today's Clipsal 500.

So, how did everyone go today :?:

I'll be heading in on Saturday so I'm interested in good locations to get around the "fence" nemesis. Last year there only appeared to be a few gaps in the net. I'll probably stick around the pit straight.

Sorry but I probably won't get up that far. I'll be down around the pit straight area. :D
