G'Day all : ))
Anybody have some tips on the best pozi for viewing at the classic?
I don't know the section of road used an would love to spend all my time watching, not searching.
Thanks in advance, Dave.

Went out there today and there is pretty much only viewing on the uphill side. You can only see a little bit of the downhill side. Basically you can walk beside the track from the start line up to the top corner where there is a hairpin and they start back down and you can see the track pretty well from any part of it. It's not big enough to be worried about where you go so just move around and see as much as you can.

Some beautiful old cars there as well as some pretty fast newer ones. Pits are open to the public to walk around so you can see all the cars close as well.

Even one AULRO member competing (that I know of) so look for car no 15.

Perfect, TimJ.
Just what I was after.
Thanks.
PS. Best parking?

We parked down near the old chip factory. JC Slaughter falls is the pits area and the parking is north from there. There is also a shuttle bus that runs from further away. I think there is a map on the web site that shows it all.

Make sure you visit the pits, you can get up close and personal with some prity special cars. Today was great, so I am guess tomorrow will be even better :)

Cheers,
