by putting it back as far as possible gave them every chance for things to improve and it looks like it has. They could have cancelled it. not sure they expected Vic to be opened though, I think the were hoping to build a crowd out of NSW.

Gotta have some luck sometimes ;D

Only the media called it freedom day, but seriously doubt they did this because of Bathurst, more like cricket and the ashes  :D ;D

The Everest always had an exemption for 80% freedoms even if the vax rate wasn't at 70%, the same was going to apply if the NRL GF got moved back to Sydney after the Brisbane outbreak scare (NSW offered to host it on this night tonight)

12.15 race start and only 4 events beforehand ::)

No resident access in the middle of the day from Tuesday to Saturday, is that normal at the 1000? I know the 12 Hour and the 6 Hour always have an hour for access in the middle of the day outside of Sunday.

Previous to last year there was a 1 hour access at lunch time last year no lunch break at all, on track action all day was one of the positives from last year.

other than Sunday there has always been the hour (plus) break in the middle of the day. if they can keep this up it is an absolute winner although of course it may create some fatigue for those of us working up there with the camera. no lunch break to do a quick download of pics and get them off to wherever they need to be

Maybe I'm dreaming this but I thought they kept building up internal access roads to the extent that they don't need a break for resident access any more?

Kytabu

I always enjoy the break in the middle of the day. It's a good opportunity to grab some lunch and go from the top to the bottom or vice versa without missing anything.

Just got a campsite at McPhillamy, if anyone is up there look out for the Volvo flag and the Focus RS!

I thought all the campsites up the top were sold out
