Default So who is going down to Philip Island for the V8s ?

Just wondering how many fordforums members are going down to Philip Island this weekend or Sunday.It should be very interesting as the Championship is still wide open as to who could win it,lets all hope that it will be a Ford 1,2,3,victory.
Anybody going down on Sunday there should be a few members from the FPV & XR club meeting at the McDonalds / Shell carpark Hallam on Sth Gippsland Hwy time yet to be determined.
Cheers John

Yup I should be heading down on the Sunday. I'd be there Saturday night, but the price of accommodation is a bit silly... $165 for a camping site!! No thanks!

I'll be there on sunday hopping for the Ford 1 2 3. For those going who will be traveling down the Bass Hwy there are some roadworks just outside Grantville. It would be wise to hold the speed limit because i have been advised that there will be police in an unmark car doing laps hoping to catch poeple speeding through the rodworks. I heard he did very well when the bike GP was on.
