Can I BYO food and drinks?
No, there is no BYO allowed at this meeting. There is also a liquor ban being enforced in the carparks prior to the event. But rest assured we have plenty of delicious food and beverage options available for you at this event.
Will I need cash?
No, this is a cashless event. Eftpos and PayWave facilities will be available for all bar and tote purchases in GA areas.
Will it be rained off?
Our track is all-weather so the event will go ahead rain hail or shine. However it is an outdoor event and we recommend taking a look at the forecast in advance and bringing a jacket or a rain coat if required.
Is there a dress code?
There's no offical dress code, but if you're looking for inspiration we suggest checking out some photos from last year's event here.
I forgot to book a bus ticket with my tickets, is it too late?
No, you can add just a bus ticket here. We've also had questions about purchasing bus tickets from the event to Hamilton one way. If there is space remaining on the bus on the return trip we will sell these on the night but we cannot guarantee that there will be space. Your best bet is to secure a return ticket in advance.
Alcohol management
We will not tolerate intoxication on our premises. Please do not be offended if you are refused service or entry to this event.
