I have to appologise but the committe has asked me to remove this post as our phones have not stopped ringing since making this post here and we have enough to do without answering the phone all day.

They feel that it is too premature to have too much information out there as it is still early days and there is nothing set in concrete yet, except to let people know that there is something happening.

Outskirts of mareeba.. (Out towards makotrack, speedway, and motocross track) so I assume it would be down that way somewhere....

I don't like being told what to do, and when some aluminium cased box of gears and friction plates tells me that it's time to change up, I really get pissed off. I will decide when it's time to change gears and sometimes I'm right. So the old smarty-pants automatic transmission isn't my best friend

Theres gonna be a lot of work to do which will involve alot of money.
A drift track that opened up Wellington, NZ about 200 metres long cost $5million to complete.
That said, will definitely be made of awesome.

This is brilliant news for the Tablelands/FNQ!
When it comes time for work I'll head out and lend a hand everytime I'm able, just keep us informed! smile.gif

A drift track is what dreams are made of... but even a large-ish skid pan would be awesome.
