Yes I went to Winton in the end. Dad managed to get me some accommodation at Mulwala a Murray River border town with Yarrawonga (where I stayed last year) for quite cheap so I went over. It was a good weekend, I drove over early Friday and drove straight to the track for the final 1.5hrs of practise for the V8s. It was bitterly cold, the wind was blowing a gale which is what made it so cold. Both Saturday and Sunday were cold but no where near as cold as Friday was, it only rained a little on Sunday and it was more like mist and barely worth putting the umbrella up. I got there nice and early to make sure I got my vantage points each of the days, on the Saturday I had to contend with sheep on the road for my drive down.

It was a great weekend, although Holden did officially win the round – Ford did win 2 of the races and 2 Ford drivers were on equal points for the lead with Holden, so it was ok.

It was nice to get away for a few days and not have to worry about work or anything else.
