Who wants to go to Bathurst

Just putting a feeler out there, I hear it all the time.

So who really wants to go downunder and go to the Bathurst 1000 to watch the V8Supercars.

"Bathurst is a gigantic fist fight, and sometimes a race breaks out in the middle of it."

I wanna go, by the way.

Pssst tell Dad it's for a motorsport article.

Pick me, pick me.

FUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuKKKKkk YEAH!

Wait... do I have to pay the airfare?

The most epic end to a 24 hour race.

I do, but I'm like totally broke. One of these years, maybe.

If I ever go to Australia, I'm going to have it "coincide" with Bathurst.

I'll meet you there .

IMO, Bathurst is the most watchable race of the year worldwide. To the viewer, it seems like a 1000km sprint race, with flag to flag intensity. The drivers have to use nearly all their racing knowledge every lap. The race is a testament to the professionalism of the drivers and the durability of the V8 Supercars. If I could watch only one motor racing event on TV each year, Bathurst would be it.

I am willing to find a price and co-ordinate a group of us going if I get some interest.

There is the option of the Melbourne F1 with V8Supercars in support also.

I would have loved to have gone to Bathurst a few years ago, but now I hear that you can only bring in 24 beers per person, per day.

I bring more than that to church.

I would love to go! But my wallet is saying berkeley no . . .

Quoted for truth. But if the price is right....

Aussie, I am in if you decide to change it to the Melbourne Grand Prix weekend.

I love F1, and I could get in to watching SuperV8...

I'd love to go after I graduate and have a positive cash flow.

Hey! I'm from Bathurst. Stay at one of the pubs downtown.

F1 works for me too, Melbourne is my home town and I have a lot of car and other contacts there.

If I had the money...

Start out with Bathurst and then an Outback expedition

College equals no money.

In a heartbeat Don't even want to think about the cost.

OK very rough pricing, all airfare is ex LAX it's not possible for me to do the fares from where ever you are.

The numbers makes a difference but we looking at about $1500@ for airfare, unless I can find a better deal in the meantime.

Package for the following is

If it was to be the Melbourne F1

So without spending money we would be about $2700 for the event, I would recommend staying for a week longer and we can do some fun stuff. This is my home town, but that is a whole other story.

Do I get serious about setting this in motion?

Oh and remember you do need a passport

Talk to me in 2011.

Why LAX? don't you live in Ohio?

Ding ding ding. . . . I would have to save for two people. Me leaving the country without Mrs. Zero is like asking for a swift and not so pleasant death.

For which event?

LAX is easier for me, I have a friend there who can take care of us until we all get together and fly out.

We will be very well cared for...
