Stanthorpe Twin Shox 19/20 August 2017 - advice please?
Posted: Thu Aug 17, 2017 11:02 am
Hi Folks
I will be attending the Aug 19/20 Twin Shox event near Stanthorpe this weekend, as a photographer. I have only attended one trials event so far (see my Boonah thread), so I need a little help to make the weekend successful.
The biggest challenge I faced at the first event was being in the right place at the right time. Without a map, I had to wait till riders moved off to the next section, then follow behind. This made catching the early and tail-end riders very hard. When I photograph rallies, which are kind of similar, I generally skip one or two stages in order to catch everybody through stage one and then be in place to catch the first runners through stage three, for instance.
So, may I ask if a map of the course is available? Also, will Sunday be a repeat of Saturday, using some or all of the previous day's sections?
Lastly, this one appears to be a bigger event than the Boonah trial, so will it be necessary for me to sign-on as a photographer if I'm to access the sections for photo purposes? If so, could somebody let me have a contact number or email for the organiser(s) please?
