Not Ranked
Have to say I enjoyed the result very much, a group of us usually camp on top of the mountain and get around on an esky train about 35 feet long, but the temporary race authorities didn't like the beer on tap coming from the bar cart.When we fixed that, they didn't like the fact it wasn't registered. It soon became a target and wasn't worth the hassle we always encountered. Channel 7 and the general public with the teams (They paid for all the livery work) always supported it as did the police who always said hello and knew we were well behaved. It all got squashed with the threats of exclusion so its been retired and we stayed home.
Spoke to a close mate who screws the FPR motors together after the race, 17 years he has been at it and he was fairly emotional about 'finally' grabbing it ! Those guys do enormous hours and its nice for them to get the reward for effort.
Cheers
