Depends if we can get it ready in time if we can go it'll give us an incentive to get it ready!!

To any of the teams that have been invited to perform in the Live Arena which sessions are in the PuT's performing in 09:30. 15:30 or 18:00?

Reason for the question, I want to see them, and also the ASI website says that that the 18:00 session is an oval session incorporating a live race. Anyone have more detailed info?

Cheers
Ian

I've managed to find the answer to my question.

The PuT's are not involved with the 18:00(Sat) or 16:45(Sun) Oval show.

The Oval show is purely short oval.

[truckmonster]

As long as we go to legs 11 as normal its ok!

[just_smile99]

I doubt that i will be attending now, its a bit expensive for me to get there and back and then the tickets ontop, was looking froward to it too :(

You didn't miss anything. I thought the show was very poor this year, it seemed to be much more competitor orientated than before. And the oval area was imo absolutely pitiful compared to previous years.

Any pictures or footage?

[briggs'mechanic]

I did take some Photo's I'll try and put some on here later if I can Suss out how there not the best but I'm not a photo taker person, plus Unusally for me I'd had a couple of beers throughout the day!!

My photos from the show are at http://www.flickr.com/photos/algreen. A few of the trucks in the paddock and in the arena, but couldn't get anything really decent from where I was stood.

Otherwise, I enjoyed what I saw at the show, but if I'd have been going specifically for oval stuff I'd have been disappointed, but seeing as I have little/no interest in short oval then I found plenty of other stuff to look at.

Seems it would have been a complete waste of time for me then as I'd only have been interested in the oval stuff.

Yep, a few slightly battered trucks says it wasn't just a moving display either. :laugh:
