Amen to that, alfa.
I'd like to add that the bravery award of the weekend goes to the Kumho and Shannons grid girls. They stood though the F3 podium ceremony, which began well only to be rained on with particularly cold and heavy (Not to mention, wet) drops of water - as is what happens when it rains. Still they literally grinned and bared it, so well done!!
Example, from formula3.com.au:
On the whole, it was a good weekend. The crowd seemed to be up from last year and the media contingent seemed a bit stronger too. Given the difficulties faced by several (Categories and promoters alike) prior to the round I think it was a solid start to Nationals circa '08.
