What a race day and what a crowd, 110k; wtf???

Awesome effort by Westy as was the effort by Authur in the ryobi class.

Can't say much Casey other than I knew it was in the bag; watching him FP & QP he had the best drive out of Siberia & Lukey.

A few teasers from today, rest to follow.

So, Strika & I walked all the way around PI on Sunday, (a top effort on Strika's part, as most of you would know), nowhere was there a sea of green, let alone a KSRCarian. We couldn't get to Ducati Paul's spot coz T12 had a big fence behind the marshall's post and I believe Blackster was in the Stands in Siberia or Bass Strait.

Where was everyone else?? :?

It was hard getting around on sunday considering the crowd, I never seen so many people at an event.

FP (friday) & QP (sat) did a number on my legs :?

Friday & Saturday I met up 5 new faces from KSRC at turn one, nice meetings ya's and hope to come down again for the supers.

Hopefully next time no more painful to/from trekking from melbourne CBD.

Philbo Marty Ash and I ended up watching it from the pit roof wasn't the ideal location but after me and philbo went down an witnessed how crowded T1 was decided to try our luck up there and got a good spot....After the race found out my boss was given 2 grid passes just before the start of the race and got to get up close and personal with the riders on he grid :shock: .....He got some great shots the bastard he said he didn't haven enough time to call me :roll: .....

Was great to catch up with blackster Philbo Marty and Aardy oh and that tosser Billy :P :lol: .....Am working on next years trip already..... :kuda:

We were between Siberia and the change of direction for hayshed.
Fantastic results and great atmosphere but main race was a little boring.
Great to catch up with Billiam and Stace 8)

I was at T1!! Well for the race anyway, other than that I was mostly wandering about, but I had an orange crown covering my KSRC hat. Only saw Robyn, Jetpilot and Tim. Couldn't see actually see anything of T1, could barely see the big screen... chaos! :lol:
