I will be there. Looking forward to seeing the display.

As to the weather - it has been 9 years since the V8s had a 500km race at Sandown which wasn't affected by rain. I expect tomorrow's race will continue the recent trend as showers are predicted for the next couple of days.

Go the Falcons!

Woo Hoo ... a win for Ford.
Would have been fun in the rain there ... but an interesting race to watch though.

Cheers John

Don't know about the noise at the track but noise from my lounge room was pretty loud well done Lowndsey.

I had this funny feeling it was going to be a good Sandown this year I can't wait for Bathurst (heheh I can't wait for Bathurst most years) but I think this year could be Lowndes and hopefully Fords first for a while.

Cheers
Chris

Yep, me and a mate were there. Great day, we were at turn one when Lowdnesy overtook Skaife. The best part was that we were amongst alot of feral HRT fans when it happened :hihi:

Yep. I was pretty close to turn one as well. What an awesome race, and I was near some Holden fans as well. One of them said "You need to steal Holden's drivers to do well". I replied with "Ambrose has won the past two titles and never drove a Holden". There was certainly a big crowd. Had trouble finding a seat. Great job by Lowndes and Muller

Great display by the FPV & XR Owners Club as well. There were heaps of nice cars, and plenty of variety as well.
