Yes, good thinking. Find out what's "on the slab" now, and anyway Maria should routinely be saying a bit more about that in her note. It didn't occur to me that things would have changed because they were like that, ie a reserved couple of garages and good access to helpful info, typically including one of the veterans keeping an eye on the more novice Ducati riders and giving some useful feedback. This was my 3yo experience, if they have changed that much there would be no point to letting people know if it has just become a day out for the "in" crowd. I was flippantly (and lazily) using wry humor, but I get that these things need facial expression to come across how intended!
I have just checked out all the places we could see an update for the Raymond Terrace track and not a squeak. I could make a call but there is no point, when it is "on" we will have plenty of notice and impatience serves no useful end. Mind you, reading Chris's story suggests getting the lead out to be a lot more prepared could only be a good thing, as once bitten the bug is undoubtedly going to take one round the countryside so what's the big deal re timing? (question for self!).
Aha, as a PS: I have just scrolled through all these NFI emails and see they started off saying things like the following:
7/09/05 "Have you been thinking about Eastern Creek Ride Days to further enjoy and explore the potential of you and your Ducati ?
Would you like some friendly complementary advice and support from Australia?s top Ducati Technicians and Rider to further enhance your Ride Day experience and enjoyment ?
NF Importers is pleased to announce that it will continue to provide support including technical advice, complimentary to Ducati Owners attending specific Eastern Creek Ride Days, ...
Warren Lee, General Manager, NF Importers continues .. ?

Ducati Customer Support has been available on a monthly basis at Eastern Creek Raceway in New South Wales throughout 2005, this support has been met with great enthusiasm from Ducati owners attending Eastern Creek Ridedays and NF Importers is now delighted to announce the first Ducati Customer Support day with PHILLIP ISLAND RIDEDAYS.
23/06/06 N F Importers will be offering Ducati customer support at the following Eastern Creek Ride Days:
8/06/07 Unfortunately, Warren Fraser and Warren Lee will not be attending as they will be overseas. However, the rest of the regular NFI/Ducati Team will be present to welcome and support you.
after which it pretty well moved to just advice about the dates. I trust this is a more useful answer, now you can ask Maria with clear expectations on top of your experiences........!!!!
