    Lap of Mt Panorama...

    I am looking into the cost and paperwork associated with doing a lap or two of Mount Panorama just for the Zeds and any other cars attending with us.

    Are you all prepared to dip into your pockets as there will be a fee, even just for a gentle cruise?

    As I said, I am in the process of getting info now so I will let you know how we go.

    So far what I do have is, we have to pay a Bond of $1000, which is fully refundable at the end if there is no damage (we are prepared to put this up), but there is also Public Liability Insurance (which is not refundable), this is the info I am waiting on and the use of the track to do a lap or two (once again, not refundable).
    So if you really do want to do this, be AWARE there will be a cost. ;)

    What?

    Are we talking about here jen, closed course, flying laps?
    normaly this is just a public road open to the public at all times with no restrictions, just the normal road rules and speed limits.
    been on cruises in the past around the mountain were no fees applied.
    Is this something new?

    Thankyou Ian

    This is exactly what I was alluding too in my earlier post above.;)
    I can't think of one Easter weekend that there hasn't been some form of Motorsport event held at Bathurst.:biggrin:
    Our chances of a run around are close to ZERO, :eek: but I do hope that Jen can arrange something, :) even if it is a Parade Lap before a race. :thumbup: Who knows?
    If you don't ask, you don't get a YES or a NO. :biggrin:
    Cheers

    I was also alluding to the possibility of events being run in my erlier post lower down which involved a big IF.

    However, at the Bathurst 24 hour race which was run Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon, a run around the track was possible on the Monday morning. Can't remember if we had a run on the Sunday evening or not - but I think we did. Although Easter will be well past the longest day, daylight saving will probably still be in place, either a Friday or Sunday evening drive around may be possible, and I would certainly expect a Monday drive would be OK - even if it is in the wrong direction for a return to Victoria. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

    Given that this event is for sporting cars a parade lap wouldn't be out of place either ... may well be worth the ask. As Keza says, "don't ask, don't get!"

    Bathurst Laps are out..

    I received an email below.......

    Hi Jenny,

    Thanks for your inquiry. Unfortunately the circuit will be closed over easter for the launch of a new event called the Festival of Sporting Cars.

    http://www.fosc.com.au/

    If your not involved with this event you won't be able to do a lap at all over Easter.

    Regards,

    Simon

    Jen, would it be feasible to contact FOSC direct about the possibility of doing a parade/display lap behind a pace car during the lunch time break, similar to what occurred at Phillip Island? 40-50 Zeds from all over the eastern states, blah, blah, blah!

    We are bouncing emails back and forwards at the moment. It is still a possibility.........but it could go either way. If it does happen we will have to fit in with their scheduale which might not match what we want to do. Once we hear something definate we will let you all know.

    UPDATE on Cowra/Bathurst..

    I have just spoken to one of the organizers from the FOSC in regards to us doing a parade lap or two on the weekend that we are up in Cowra.

    We May be able to do 1 lap, there are no promises, just a possibility.

    I have to get back in contact with this gentleman in a month or two's time, once they have draughted their timetable (as there are more than 1000 cars entering), there are some cars racing and some doing static club displays over the whole weekend. As you could imagine, the displays are also hoping to get out on the track for a parade lap too, so they have alot on their plate, hence the no promises part.

    However, never say never and I will get back to this in a month or two's time.

    :)

    Thanks Black Baz!

    :D

    Just wondering... Does anyone know what accommodation is left?

    My partner and I have a friend traveling up with us for the fun & frivolity who has family in Cowra that I can stay with, but as Caz said to me the other day, it kinda takes the fun out of it to not stay with all the other fantastic Zed people out there.

    Any ideas?

    Where are the bulk of people staying etc?

    Oh, and what are the events going to be? Never been before (my Zed hasn't ever been up to it :eek: ;) ) and I'm curious as to what the itinerary is going to be like?

    Thanks everyone!

    Baz..... :zlove:
