:help

I have been asked to organise tickets for my boss for the Clipsal 500. He has no idea where he wants to sit and I have no idea which is the better area.
Could any one suggest which is better, the Pit Straight Grandstand or the Pit Entry Grandstand?
Also is it worth purchasing a pass for the paddock (the area behind the pits)?
He is not fussy on cost, he just wants "the best possible location".

Thankyou for your help.

I spoke to Bass and they said that you cant get a pit pass to the Clipsal, only a paddock pass which he told me is a large area behind the pits so that you can have a close look.

Buy him tickets to the Ballet instead. Wouldn't that be fun? - sounds like a storyline for a movie. He turns up accidentally at the ballet and meets gorgeous, sophisticated gal. He's a petrolhead, she's a culture vulture. Impossible relationship and off it goes.

Saw Maid in Manhattan last night - same sort of scenario - feelgood, fun, forgettable and Ralph Fiennes just makes your heart pound. As I said somewhere else at the board, he is my Cyrus!~

Actually I am DESPERATE to see Swan Lake and hoping like billy-o that my husband will give me tickets for our anniversary coming up.

Anyone else going?

Fords will come into their own WHAT, Beau? Their own junkyard? Their own scrapheap? It certainly won't be Victory Lane, that's reserved exclusively for Holden's.
