Just arrived in Bathurst, the weather is gorgeous at the moment. Glad we get to put our tent up in the dry.
Big question is how muddy are the campgrounds and access roads in them?I am up at Reid/Sulman from Friday.Always going to be better than the campgrounds at the bottom of the mountain but I can picture churned mud.
The forecast for the rest of the week is actually pretty good now particularly from Thursday on (touch wood).

McPhillamy campgrounds are fine, no issues at all for us.

Great Tuesday arvo! Playing some cricket on the track at McPhillamy and got Hazelwood to bat and Le Brocq to wicketkeep ;D. A few of the others drivers had a throw on some other guys' beer pong table.

I saw some photos of that on Todd Hazelwood's Insta!

Is that your RS in that pic above?

All the reports indicate that RD was not consulted. It was cooked up by the team as a thank you.

Also, 888 team is no longer owned by RD who remains a minor shareholder.

Even so, I still expect that RD would have more say over the cars presentation than Lowndes..... ;)

Lowndes is like a prostitute, gives his all for whoever pays the $$$$$  - good ol' 'smile for the camera Lowndes'  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

He learnt all his (self) promotion/marketing skills from Brock, who mastered it
