I am envious. I have a job lined up shooting the opening of a new Chapel at a private school on the Sunday and was offered 2 tickets to a corporate tent with food, booze and the whole shebang (only have to shoot a few groups and odds and sods!) but obviously can't go because of this prebooked job! Dammit..

Next year..I've put my hand up for first dibs next year!

Please post lots of Formula Ford shots John. Remember, tin tops are the racing worlds equivalent of a retirement village. Real men drive open wheel race cars :!:

Have a blast John (and the rest of you who are going).

It really doesn't matter too much what ticket you have got, it really comes down to how hard you look to find the spots, there is always so much going on, but make sure you get a pit paddock pass, thats where they keep the best grid girls for the weekend :lol:

Hey All,
First off; fantastic forum - great to see some locals in Adelaide. Pity its so skewed to Nikon users here. I'm heading to the Clipsal on Sunday, General Admission but must try and get into the Pit Paddock this year. Looking forward to seeing some pics from earlier this weekend.
