Sunday 22nd June.
Same deal as yesterday except that we caught an earlier bus as the longer race today is expected to attract a very much larger crowd. Once again we located under the very large shade cloth shelter and settled back to enjoy the day. Just for a change Craig Lowndes took pole position today with Jamie Whincup also on the front row. The start saw some incredible changes by the first turn with David Reynolds gaining about 3 positions and Mark Winterbottom dropping back a couple.
David Reynolds took the lead early and held it until eventually there was an incident requiring the safety car which bunched the whole field up and cancelling his nice lead.
The race produced some great close racing back in the field and particularly the last 10 or so laps when Mark Winterbottom was leading but hotly pressed by Shane van Gisbergen and further back to Jamie Whincup. Mark held on to win narrowly with Shane second and Jamie third.
Our three day passes also gave us entry to the pit area which we visited on a number of occasions between races and also gave us admission to the Saturday and Sunday evening live concerts which we decided to forfeit. The bands included The Baby Animals which we thought was not our kind of entertainment.
