V8 Supercars - 2013 Perth

[Crazy Paul]

Friday May 3 to Sunday May 5
It's the last race in Aus before the cars fly to Austin TX.

It looks like I'll be receiving a pair of free tickets for the Perth round, so if you have any Autograph or photo requests then let me know and I'll see what I can arrange.

[EcoBrick Bob]

Can I come???

Daffy Drunk wants to come too!!!

OOPS... I forgot Shredmo..

[Semperfire]

So I asked them if they were going to Texas.
Noooo, but we all have Passports was the reply.

If they have passports put em on a plane and send em on out to Austin Im sure we can find some Texas hospitality for them.

Seeing that merchandise makes me worry about how much I will end up spending on Friday...

[Crazy Paul]

Oh and there was a V8 Supercar Race also.

I was standing here most of the day. The smell of burnt ethanol was great and all of the Holdens yet only 1 Frod sounded aggresive on the shift cut. Loud bangs from the pipes as the Holdens shifted up thru the gears thru those esses.

If they have passports put em on a plane and send em on out to Austin Im sure we can find some Texas hospitality for them.

Seeing that merchandise makes me worry about how much I will end up spending on Friday...

Any idea if the full complement of merchandise vendors will be coming to Austin?

I seriously doubt it.
Being the first time it's a huge financial gamble to Airfreight anything over & not know how well the market will accept it.
I'll talk to a couple of the larger vendors today and see what they say.
From yesterday I got the feeling there was a lot of doubt and uncertainty about the entire venture to USA.
Today I'll be there for the full day and hope to venture into a few areas I couldn't access for the 1/2 day I was there yesterday.

Thanks! I would be nice if they at least consolidated some of the merchandise and brought it over for us domestic fans. It's so hard to acquire some of this stuff when shipping is equal to the value of the item (by the way, t-shirts arrived this week, and thanks for the extra's).

Slightly off topic, but did anyone notice on the poster behind the Nissan engine display that it is base on an American production version?

I spoke to the bossman in the HRT & Redbull merchandise area and what's happening for Texas will be one outlet supplying a wide range of goods from many different sources.

I'll start a new thread with pics from Sunday May 5 2013 at the track.
