Do you not find the short circuit quicker though Rich ? I always felt the Melbourne Loop seemed to scrub a lot of your momentum off rather than a quicker right and left and on it again down the start/finish line.

Plus I don't think they would be happy to see folk drifting on the loop

I really like the Melbourne Loop its a tricky corner to get the Apex right then you can power slide it out
The short circuit is quicker thou alot of people slow down far to much for the little chicane before the start finish straight you can take it quite quickly.

This was a good year track wise. Not the best quality vid but some quick cars out on track. Paul Bailey, Steve Scott, Porkie and the Zoo 3 door to name a few

Defo Col,

I think tbf Cossies have risen in value so much folks just don't track them now, my kinda thinking anyway, may be totally wrong of course and i guess money isn't spare like it was back then, hard times etc

Trouble is the passes are to expensive, wish they would sell session passes like ford fair as I would be very tempted to get my car out there again and also just a session gives you chance to see the show and watch the track action aswell

Wicked battle that was, Scottie was getting wilder every time he came through the chicane, ended up more rally cross when he finally managed to get past the Bailey car

i remember that day that was back when all the unused track was filled with cars plus every field around was too, when i went last year the flat at the top off the hill near where the giant spark plug used to be was empty wheras in 2004 there was at least 300 3 door cossies parked there plus all the other cars as well!
such a shame the scene has died off so much
