Hmm, Guess we only need the $30 one then, as we are camping out at a mates house (if it's still standing when we get there)

You could always tell him you where sick (Like Sick of work) and the Beach racing is on Friday

I try to travel at a speed that doesn’t include loosing demerit points. Through it doesn’t always work.

thats what i did last year. showed up at the camp site and paid right then and there. you get a cool lanyard which you must wear at all times, and they write your rego on the back. they check the rego against your lanyard when leaving the site. great idea to prevent against theft. only difference between prepaying or paying on site is prepayers get tshirts i think. but you can buy shirts onsite in the beer tent. [as well as heaps of other merchandise]

only major problem i can recall is last year the dunnys blew over during the night. they ended up tying them down, lol. [btw, that wind blew the loos over, but didnt damage any tents!]
