not timed. but if you wanna run a phone timer or get mates to time you, on probs.

I'll be splitting the cars into three groups of 8, based on power and drivers.
works out very well.

it's all about having fun in your car in a controlled environment.
no parked cars, no gutters, no stobie poles, no cops.

cheaper than a speeding ticket, and lasts a hell of a lot longer! ;)

for sure mate, spectators welcome, and five bucks will get ya bbq lunch and a drink or two.

sessions are kept short to avoid killing cars.
it's a well run day, and if people are keen, and they normally are, there's a bit of a burnout comp at the end of the day.

filled this late Monday night.
you snooze, you lose.

this is a great day out in your own car at a full blown racetrack, for less than the cost of a speeding ticket.

a mate got done last week, $320. wasted in a split second.

Hey Damo, all cars allowed mate? I will have the Galant running by then and I know a mate with his FPV R-Spec would be into it. They just did a FPV day out there with John Bowe and he is all fired up to do more, lol
