OK guys, here is some maps of where you need to go when you get to Benalla. On this map, NSW/QLD guys will be coming from the right of the map and VIC guys will come from the left (if you take the 1st Benalla exit ...right if you take the Winton/2nd Benalla exit).

At this point in time I am planning on being at the track (watching practise session) until about 3pm and then the cabins after that. If you want my mobile, PM me.

Detailed Map

Yep was being responsible in Los Angeles over the last little while for work.

At night I had the choice of sitting in my hotel room chewing the fat with you guys or accepting a private invitation from Tyra Banks & Natasha Henstridge to join them for dinner down Santa Monica, or the next night joining Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones at Musso & Franks for a very nice grilled steak

Even spent a some time in the wee hours of one morning sitting at the Hotels Tropicana bar chatting with Jamie fox resolving a verbal stoush we had earlier that day... If you only heard the names I called him. We resolved it though and to show no hard feelings he upgraded me to first class for the flight home I only want to travel that way now!!!

Maybe I should also tell you about my lunch on the set of Ghost Whisper with Jennifer Love Hewitt or the lunch on the set of Desperate House Wives with Eva Longoria or for the girls with Charlie Sheen! Boy was Danielle green each night I was on the phone to her describing my days events!

But alas I am back in Aus and back to that same boring life I left for but a brief moment, back to giving this forum my undevided attention... Hmm don't know if I should be either happy or sad

There is known error in occasional lap at Winton (although I have not experience of it at all, DavidM told me this all the time)_..... that to prove your lap time you have to have a second device.

I use both. The AIMS, and also a GPS lap timer (which is RaceChrono with my mobile phone). I will also put a transponder in my car.
