Well with a week to go and predicted temps hitting 40 is anyone going?

Maybe a meet? I'm travelling on Friday to be at track on Saturday and Sunday, General Admission pass for both days and a padock pass for one of the days.
(hopefully a D200 by then as well

)

Who else is going? Adelaide/SA members unite!

Cheers

Mate, better come get your lens or i could drop it off if you want and i wish i was going but then seeing it is going to be hot i will watch it on tv or work. I hope you all have a good time though.

Posted: **Sat Feb 24, 2007 11:05 am**

I'll be there all 4 days

Posted: **Sat Feb 24, 2007 11:22 am**

I am going on thursday and saturday..meeting up with adame and I think fozzie is comming on saturday. Yes I will be very hot but you cant miss the best race in town. It was hot last year too, just drink plenty of fluid..There are lots of spots where there is shade for a break from the heat.

Posted: **Sat Feb 24, 2007 11:49 am**

I'll be there Thursday, hopefully one of Saturday or Sunday too - wife wants me for something on one day O.o

Cheers

Have fun guys. Can't wait to see your images!

I will be there on Saturday only. Securing a General Admission ticket from 'BASS' during the week, with a view of purchasing a Paddock Pass prior to entry.

Big V and I were considering a meeting time of 9:30am, but location undecided. Look forward to everyone's comments.

Well, I'm committed to it now - see here to understand why ;-)

Posted: **Sat Feb 24, 2007 7:43 pm**

I'll be there for the Sunday - shooting in Kali Hunters corporate tent here.

Feel free to shout at me thru the general ad fence and I'll pass you some free beers =]

Posted: **Sat Feb 24, 2007 8:48 pm**

Liam - some people have all the luck

. Seriously though, enjoy the day and 'Yes' we may drop by for that beer, seeing the forecast is for 35C :wink:

I plan to be heading in on Saturday. I normally lurk around the paddock and the far side of pit straight. I'll head down to the general area sometime to check out the displays.

Majority seems to be for a Saturday... and if Big V and Fozzie dont mind a few extras crashing in then a saturday morning 'mini meet' at the track sounds like the way to go. wonder through the General Ad areas and grab a paddock pass on the way in.

what do we think

Posted: **Sun Feb 25, 2007 1:31 am**

as a dutiful dad with a rev head son, we are heading in on friday so we can see all the classes of cars (assuming the program is same as last year)

hoping its not toooooo hot

cheers

OK rob, I have chosen to accept your mission, picked up my tickets for Thursday and Saturday and a new 4 gig CF card, so there will be plenty of opportunity to find and photograph those unique curves of Clipsal..Heck I might even set up a special folder just for you on smuggy

Posted: **Tue Feb 27, 2007 9:03 pm**

I've secured tickets for Thursday & Saturday as well - Sunday I've been invited to a bbq at a friend's house (they're in the track but not in the GA area, so I'm still not sure I can get much further in).

Posted: **Tue Feb 27, 2007 10:14 pm**

Bugger..my Thurs and Fri just filled up. Had to find a freelancer to shoot the Saturday as well so I'm only there on Sunday now

Next year!

Guys - where are the action and still piccies from Day one :?:

fozzie

Posted: **Fri Mar 02, 2007 8:46 am**

I spent all day at the track yesterday, haven't even unloaded the CF from my camera yet, was so exhausted when I got home I just flaked into bed via the shower (it was SO hot yesterday - today will be worse).

I'm back on track tomorrow & Sunday. Hope to catch up with everyone!

Cheers

Leigh

Posted: **Fri Mar 02, 2007 6:27 pm**

Fozzie, 721 shots to unload and how do you select from that? As I said, will set up a "special folder" and trust me, it will be busy... Just finishing an article, then will get around to it - have to clear the cards for tomorrow - whoo hoo. I will be at turn 8 at 8.30!!!

Posted: **Fri Mar 02, 2007 7:03 pm**

Big V - only 721 shots. You still had room for another 279. Just as well you purchased a 4GB CF card.

Look forward to your "Special Folder" with a lock, so robw25 can not access :wink:

I've upped some to flickr from Thursday - too many to post in IR&C so just click my siglink.

Just added my day's shoot to the DSLRUsers' Smugmug pool

A dozen grid girls and a stationary car. Yep.

Ok, so whos going tomorow? (SUNDAY) I'll be back to general admin so will be able to hang around with everyone all day.

Posted: **Sun Mar 04, 2007 1:11 am**

I've got a rotten head cold, I need to be there for a few hours around lunch (work commitments), but probably won't be wondering around much - depends how I feel. End of the pits was a good corner for us (Big V, Fozzie, self) today, shots going up soon...

Posted: **Sun Mar 04, 2007 2:43 pm**

Just a few misc shots.

Here are some fellow photographers. (To think, they get paid to do this!)

I don't think much of the photographic centre. Looks a bit basic.

We organised a bit of publicity for the forum...

Don't worry Rob. You didn't miss much.

There wasn't much to see...

...they kept to them selves...

...and they were very shy.

"Clerk of Course" - isn't it obvious enough? (someone needed to put a white mark after "Clerk" in the form of a comma.
