1 carton so you take a few non drinken mates, or go to bathurst liquer land every morning I dont see the problem, and on top of your carton you can still buy on site so your first 24 are just discounted.

all said and done bathurst is a great event but it gets spoilt by (ock heads that think its fun to blow up, burn or throw things and yell abuse insted of watching the race, I have know problems with the boys getting on the cans and having a bit of fun but dunny rolls soaked in kerro and hurled through the camping ground is not cool

Hope if you are going up, hope you have pre-booked a seat / site! It was nearlly full a few weeks after tickets were on sale! Plus it is like a mashed banana in town... uh, Bathurst during the 1000.

It's cool untill one land's in your hair or on your tent, The rubbish bag hot air balloons are pretty good, i remember one landed in a gum tree in 2005 and burnt 4 gum trees down lol.

Wonder what the definition of excess alcohol will be. Personally won't affect me but will be funny to see how they go about approaching some unruly mob of bogans riding on a V8 esky full of beer...
