Usually $10 adults, $5 children. Being your local there may signs up advertising with spectactor prices?

One would think so lilpigzuk, but nope, the signs nor the radio ads specify an admission price.

yes the posters in shop windows do have an admission price but not the billboards. $10 adult $5 kids $20 family pass and under 5 free. No dogs and no alcohol. The radio also says gates open at 8.30 which is wrong as the trial starts at 8.30. Lets hope the rain stays away.

we came shite to be honest, was having an alright day but the weather was unrelenting in heat and the fuel was boiling and starved the motor so the cost us a few points
warren tried climbing a tree with a bit of pace on which resulted in an even more impressive backflip than wellington and some serious damage to the underside of the truck, but there was an awesome local club memeber onsite with a welder who fixed it up, that guy was a legend.
Top 5.............
1, Derek Smythe
2, Dan Cowper
3, Phil Walton
4, Mitch Seymour
5, Brent Ward
well done Mitch (cool bananas) isn't it amazing what results you can achieve when you leave a good V8 standard and don't try to pump in more horsepower, well done dude

The ground was really soft and you had to carry momentum without digging in...
Same hazard that Hilly rolled off from the top corner - all the way down the other side, off the track and then 5 or so times over down the slip under the track... He got going again and finished the day!
