Eastern Creek V8 Supercars - June 10/11 2007

tickin · 03-05-2007, 11:15 PM

Hi All,

Once again the FPV-Tickford Club of NSW will be attending the V8 Supercars at Eastern Creek on the Queens Birthday long weekend (sunday/monday)
We have been allocated a roped off area to park our cars and will set up shades etc along the fence to watch all the action.
in the past we have had members from other clubs/interstate clubs join in and we would like to once again open the invitation to all ford clubs to join us.
To make things easier to organise, it would be great if I could get a representative from your club to organise/collect numbers, names & any money etc.. from any interested members. (if i could get a PM or call from the nominated person that would be great)
If we manage to organise 80 tickets or more in total (which we should be able to) we have been offered a 10% discount of the 2-day adult general admission ticket (not much, but better than nothing)
Children under 12 are free and all other tickets (i.e. kids, paddock, 3day etc..) will have to be purchased at the gate individually.
I have to give Ford final numbers of tickets and number of cars for parking on the 25th of May, therefore I would like to collect numbers from each club by wednesday 23rd of may.

Hope to see as many Fords and Supporters as possible......
For any further details or questions, please feel free to PM me or call me on my number below.

DETAILS:
date: Sunday 10th June
Monday 11th June
costs: normal at gate $80
our 10% discounted tickets $72

p.s. please include exact numbers when starting list (e.g. 1 car 2 tickets)

g\day ben,would it be possible to be able to park with your club but buy my own tickets as i will be attending for the three days?
also to the newcastle club committee i would be willing to be the nominated "go between" "contact person" for this event if nobody minds?
cheers mark

Hi Ben I will be attending as well for 3 days and will have own tickets.
Would love to display with you guys and catch up.
Thanks Dave.

tickin · 08-05-2007, 08:22 AM

Hi Mark/Dave,

No problems at all with getting your own tickets... we only have the one type as it was just to hard to organise as you can imagine...
Mark... if you could look after anyone from the newcastle club that would be tops... i'll keep you up to date with any new info as i get it.
most important bit is that if you get guys that want tickets.. we need to get the money transfered to the club on the 23rd may. and once they are ordered they must be taken.

be good to catch up with you guys again...

List:
Mark - 0 tickets, 1 car
Dave - 0 tickets, 1 car

I can only make it on the sunday will this be OK?

tickin · 14-05-2007, 03:49 PM

yeah just add your name to the list... it would obviously be better to just get your own ticket at the gate or pre-purchase it... but we will need you to put your name on the list so that mark has final numbers of cars for next week.

cheers
ben

Hi All,

I have given final numbers to ford and they are organising with Eastern Creek our parking area.
While we should have approx. 40 cars. Unfortunatly we didnt manage to get to the 80 ticket mark that we had to reach to get the pre-paid group discount tickets... so ALL tickets will have to be purchased by individuals... You can still pre purchase or you can just buy them at the gate.
I will post more details as i get them. (if we need to give everyone car passes, a meeting point, time etc...)

should be a good weekend...
Ben...

Some info for all those attending....
- I am posting this up just to give everyone a bit of notice as i know everyone isnt on the forums all the time, as i am yet to get a final plan of our exact display location and if we will need car passes to get in, I have based all this info on previous years, and we need to meet before hand to give out the passes that allow you into our parking section, so please be at the tavern at the times shown below.
- Please check back on here, during the week as i will post up any new info i get.. (hopefully nothing will change) but i will confirm things as soon as i know anything.
- It is an early start, but as in previous years we have to do this to get a good spot infront of our cars to view the race.
- volunteers are IMPORTANT.. we will hopefully have a shadehouse to set up and if everyone can lend a hand as soon as we get in it will make it very easy work!
- Scott will be running/organising everyone on the sunday morning as i will not be able to make in until later. (his contact number is below) he will have the car passes with him at the tavern.

UPDATE...
i have talked to the guy from eastern creek organising our display spot and i think we are more towards the top corner of the straight.
Therefore the directions to get into the track will be changing.. I am getting more info tonight and will put it up... please check in again if unsure, but all times are unchanged...

thanks
Ben

thanks ben

tickin · 06-06-2007, 08:34 PM

another update...
I have our car passes and our spot is now sorted out.
Once again, if everyone can please be at the eastern creek tavern on Brabham Drive at the times shown above, that would be great.. Scott and Myself will hand out your car passes there and we will have a short trip round the block as we have to enter via the back road and come in from behind the go-karting complex (easier than it sounds) but we should all go as a group.
And all tickets can be purchased at the gate as we drive our cars in.
For those attending both days, Scott will be handing out the car passes on the sunday morning at the tavern, for those just attending monday, I will be there with your passes.

See you all on the weekend.....

What started out as a bad looking weekend turned good..!!!
Thanks all for coming... while it wasnt as good a spot as previous years (due to the walk from the pits being a shocker!!) unfortunatly we couldnt do much since our usual spot was washed out.. but still a great weekend, with the weather clearing for us too.
while it wasnt much of a display, more just a parking area together, it was still better than just being in the general area.
A couple of pics from the day...

Thanks again for all that came out in the weather and early time slots..!!!
I hope everyone had a good time...

cheers
Ben
