Anyone going along to watch the Sid Patterson Grand Prix on Saturday
night (21st Jan) at DISC? I can't say I've ever been to an event
like
this but I'm interested to see what it's like.

I was going to be taking photos for CN, but will be in Bright instead.
FWIW, the Sid Pat is a wheelrace, same as the Austral and the Melb cup
on wheels, with a bunch of support races. Being at DISC rather than
Melbourne Park, it may not be as good a venue to watch from, but I
don't know, that's a guess. I've not been to DISC when anyone's
actually using the place - parking (car, bike, whatever) will suck
though and there's no PT.

I agree venue vibe. Shabby was spot on comparing Vodafone with
DISC. DISC is no Vodafone. I guess it also depends on the numbers of
butts in seats they get - this will impact on vibe also. I think track
visibility is better at DISC, thanks to the smaller venue and placement
of seats on one side. But then, I have never had ring side seats at
Vodafone - always been up the back in the poverty seats. So DISC may be
more "intimate" but it also may be "cold" or "flat" for excitement and
vibe.
