Anyone going to this wonderful event today?

its always excellent as a free event, but unfortunatley its been quite hard to get tickets this year, as people interstate (imo with no intention of ever going) have been snapping up the free tickets and putting them on ebay, so i had to buy mine of there this year, but still for about $5 its deffinatley worth it, and i belive today is the 1st time ever they are expecting a full house.

Will take some pictures and put them on here tonight, will make sure i get a few of the grid girls :wink:

I had a game of backyard cricket with smac jr last weekend, that was you watching over the fence wasn't it Sam?

Seriously, you don't miss much sport, do you? Top effort.

Exactly, definitely the best event in SA and would be in the top 5 in the country IMO.

Awesome line up of race categories and a cracking concert program makes the four day pass worth every cent. Unfortunately, I won't be going net year due to being OS, but I'll be straight back in the pit straight stand when I return.

Maybe those Vics running the hugely unprofitable F1 GP should swallow their pride and take note of how to run an event properly! I was shattered when we lost the GP to Vic, but now I think our Clipsal is better than the GP ever was and ever could be.

Anyhoo, lets just hope Holden has a victory at Adelaide in '08! :lol:
