Default National Day stand dilemma

Hi Peeps

Well......will be only my second time at Donny for nat day and really looking forward to it as this year we will be on the Passion Ford stand , being new to Passion Ford it will be good to get to meet a few peeps off here and have a giggle.
My dilemma is that with not knowing anyone or having the slightest clue where to go once inside, how on earth are we gonna recongnise the stand ! I realise there will probably be a flag or banner of some description but will feel a bit of a tit driving round looking for you all.
Any ideas lol
I could do some doghnuts in the middle and someone could then wave their arms in the air
Might work lol

I believe you have to use a different entrance to normal this year. Anyone got the map?

Ta. I believe all local groups MUSt enter via Paddock Gate by 9am latset and will NOT be allowed to enter via teh tunnel as per previous years.

That map solves my problem.

Local groups have had to use that entrance past couple of years.

Passionford stand was infield lasy year i think so would have to use entrance at other end that takes you under the bridge.

Last year the Passionford stand used the entrance for the infield...As the local groups were on the Melbourne hairpin over the other side...

We came in under the tunnel near Mcleans and the stand was near Craners

Hey don't feel like that no one should feel like a tit

Although please do NOT do doghnuts in the middle a group got banned for doing that!!

Punter is this year looking after the stand for me as I'm not attending myself You can't miss him, his VERY tall and got huge spikey hair

Yes there will be banners & his got a list of who's on the stand etc and what cars, so he should be able to grab them all

Its always weird and suppose akward meeting people for the 1st time, but don't worry at all, this lot on the stand are a wicked bunch and there is not one bad person there! If anything they'll sure to be have you laughing There mad I think they are going to have a BBQ also, so be there for that & you'll be sure to meet alot more faces

I hope that all going have a wicked day

For trade stands you'll go through the paddock/redgate entrance

Thanks all for being so cool to us newbies even if it does make me feel a right .
am guessing tickets will be through soon with a bit of info on entry and ill be sure to look out for a tall spikey haired man lol
Oh and PROMISE the doghnut thing was was just ikkle fibbing
Thinkin that perhaps should bring something for the barbie? (and i dont mean Ken) let me know.
Sounds like it will be a blast so even more excited than i already was!
See you all there.
Would like to have bought the S1 but she will have to wait till next year as she has been a few times already with Petesturbo.
Ps when are we getting the tickets?
