PeterP Posted 14November, 2015 Report Posted 14November, 2015 Hi,Long way away I know, but wondering if anybody knows how the parking down there works? I have been down there a few years back with PCV ( no longer a member) and they had a reserved parking space along the straight with other car clubs, but trying to understand whether we ( the forum) may be able to get a space, or whether you have to be a member of a car club??could be an interesting day with an early run through the hills around Poowong, and Leongatha area and then to the track for the Historics......Interested in any feedback regarding how the parking arrangements work....
Airhead Posted 14November, 2015 Report Posted 14November, 2015 Contact Shannons to reserve a place I think.If not try VHRR
D-banger Posted 14November, 2015 Report Posted 14November, 2015 We did an SMT on the way to PI Historics last year.There is als parking all around the track.
espskk Posted 14November, 2015 Report Posted 14November, 2015 Nothing wrong with being early and organised Pete. I also went this year, in a mates Mustang. In my opinion the best racing of the year at the Island. Over a thousand entries and all area's access. A great day and some of the classes really do have a dip. From memory the best sounding car was a 1940ish Bugatti that had won a couple of world titles back then. Lots of car clubs and plenty to look at. Definitely keen to tag along.Cheers Steve
LeeM Posted 15November, 2015 Report Posted 15November, 2015 I'd love to say definately yes, but will just say I would love to be there if I can
Pauly Posted 15November, 2015 Report Posted 15November, 2015 Happy for an SMT again, either if i do it, or Doug.
Mike-S Posted 7March, 2016 Report Posted 7March, 2016 Thread resurrection timeAnyone going this coming weekend? Mate and I are deciding whether to do Saturday or Sunday, or a mix of both as we have tickets to a gig back in Melbourne on Sunday night. Should be a good weekend, usually is.
polorot Posted 7March, 2016 Report Posted 7March, 2016 I am heading down Sunday. I have parking sorted in the Porsche area through PCV.this will be my 3rd trip down for the historics. Well worth the drive.
OBRUT Posted 7March, 2016 Report Posted 7March, 2016 I'm racing my 69E in group Sb (#50). A bunch of us normally pit near the exit road at Turn 4.
Airhead Posted 7March, 2016 Report Posted 7March, 2016 Not racing this year. But will be there Friday and Sunday.will be going sat morning in a yellow 914 :-)That means it's going then?

Mike-S Posted 8March, 2016 Report Posted 8March, 2016 I'm racing my 69E in group Sb (#50). A bunch of us normally pit near the exit road at Turn 4. I think I have a photo of a group of 911's parked there last year, assume that was you then
OBRUT Posted 8March, 2016 Report Posted 8March, 2016 Most likely Mike. Mine is silver with blue/yellow Luthansa decals.Normally a mix of 2 litre group Sb cars and 2.7/3 litre group Sc cars.

Mike737 Posted 8March, 2016 Report Posted 8March, 2016 I'll be there on Sunday as part of the Shannons parade.
Harvs11 Posted 8March, 2016 Report Posted 8March, 2016 I'm thinking about going on Saturday. No plans beyond that. Get there when I get here. I might even take a few wrong turns on the way
Mezger Autosport Posted 8March, 2016 Report Posted 8March, 2016 I have 1 of my cars entered, through PCV and will be displaying it on Sunday, continental orange 77 coupe. Richard.
Mike-S Posted 8March, 2016 Report Posted 8March, 2016 Definitely Sunday now for me. Hopefully see a few of you there.Mike, what time is the Shannons parade and how did you get into that??
PeterP Posted 8March, 2016 Author Report Posted 8March, 2016 Probably head down mid morning Saturday, all going well........just for a looky see.....
Mike737 Posted 8March, 2016 Report Posted 8March, 2016 Full schedule for the day and competitor list is here -> http://vhrr.com/PI-2016-Schedule-&-Competitor-List.pdfNote that in the list there is a 906 and 935 Definitely Sunday now for me. Hopefully see a few of you there.Mike, what time is the Shannons parade and how did you get into that??Shannons parade is all day next to the front straight. There will be a parade lap around the track early morning (8:30am?). Shannon's invite me each year even though I've never been insured with them.
DaleAlford Posted 9March, 2016 Report Posted 9March, 2016 Ill be there on Saturday with PCV. Taking the Cayenne ( Black 955 TT ) .I'd love to drive the 914 to the track, but it would be a long day in the saddle for me and the car.Might try to score a house locally for the weekend next year, and trailer it to there.Come say hi ( ill probably have a Martini cap on, and a bored 11 year old annoying me ) . Dale
Airhead Posted 9March, 2016 Report Posted 9March, 2016 No mid day parades this year I hear. They are giving the track time back to the racers who pay for it. And about time too.
