It was a long day. Started from home at 0450 and back home at 1600. Ran up over 400km in generally showery conditions - so the top was up and down all day.

The run up to Boreen Point for breakfast was great. Breakfast was fantastic value and covered Mrs JBT and me for lunch too.

The hillclimb was pretty good with the rain showers holding off for us. The only problem was getting a good observation spot as only a small part of the track can be viewed from any one place. However, there was a really good spread of cars with everything from a historic Ford V8 Special through the classics to a Holden Clubsport. Couldn't get any decent shots at the hillclimb.
