Grant & I are going on Sunday. This year there's a few I.o.M. racers including John McGuinness tootling around.
Should be fun!

Gidday Fellas,
yep should be a good day over there Steve, 28c degrees with the Bass Straight views and cool sea breeze.
Dilemma:
Since bikes and cars are allowed in to park around the track for this meet, do I:
Take the "K" to give it a run and then stand all day on the fence and watch - travelling time each way 1.5 hours
Or being a vintage race meet do I take the old 28 chev then we have relocatable trackside "lounge chair" seating with eski and bbq attachment plus shady market umbrella tired to the running boards
travelling time each way 2.30 hours
Will wait and see.....

May bump into you there. Taking the scenic route down from sunny Beechworth on Saturday, back Monday. No question about what I'll be taking: the R65. Look for it parked next to a waterbottle and '69 Triumph.
Cheers
Ray

If Grant drives the Chev, I'll think we'll be easy to find Ray. Otherwise the bikes will be his green K1100LT, my black R100RS and Pauls yellow Yammie TDM.
There's a parade lap @ 1300 which I might see if I can do. I think it's for pre 1990 bikes. To do it... http://islandclassic.com.au/shannons-parade-lap.html

I think you might have answered your own question there, Grant.

Gidday Fellas,
Is going on the bike now cause I get to sleep in and stay at the island longer, plus the Chevy now has an issue with the front brake grabbing at slow speeds and I am running out of time today to fix it up...
See you at 9.30 Steve at the Lang Lang / Sth Gippsland hwy round-a-bout

Grant and Paul looking down pit lane from the entry end.
Paul ignored the sign.
