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.

Ok i sent an email about lens size and well here is the reply i got etc...

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


Quote:Hi John,

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

If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact me.

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

Ok Guys, i am about to shut down here soon, so computer will have a heartattack as it has been running for sometime now so having being switched off for 5 days or so will be a blessing for the olf thing.

Will see you all tomorrow at the shindig.

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.

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
