We are quickly coming up to the October races and the annual shut out period, we have not been advised of the exact dates but there is talk of having it extended due to the Vic pass being closed and the organisers offering more activities to spread out the departures... however we are but a small wheel in the Mt Panorama machine... we will let you know has soon as we hear.
