Street Meets

The Street Meet on the 21st January has made it quite obvious that there is no longer a need for these regular events. Even fortnightly events will not be an option. If Saturdays event with perfect weather can only bring 10 cars (a couple of these weren't even locals), 2 bikes and 30 spectators. Perhaps once a year is all that is needed.

There are rumours about that others will be taking over ... it is just that .. a rumour. It will not happen. I am sure there are others who think they can do a better job, but the difference is ... they aren't the ones who have given all and taken the risks in giving Townvsille a Dragstrip. Over the past 20 years or so there has been many rumours of persons who have approached us, offering to "buy us out". We have never had an offer.

We had received a proposal to run a "special" street meet with indications of about 32 who wanted to particpate. Most of those listed had not been to an event for some years, a few only attended a couple of street meets last year and others had not even raced before. If they are so keen, where have they been??? If they had been attending there would not be a problem. Or is this a little beyond the comprehension of some.

We do sincerely thank the dozen or so who have supported the Track at these Street Meets. Perhaps they should be listed here, just to make sure they are recognised as being the supporters and not to be confused with those who "say" they have supported dragracing here. All talk and no torque.

Private Testing/On- Track Time

Sessions are offered for those who want to test, or gain track time. The cost is $275 (inc. GST) which is for vehicle and driver. All other persons with the racer are $20 each. These are closed events and are not open to spectators or other observers. These sessions must be arranged in advance and can be held on a week day if required. This arrangement is for all who wish to use the facility.

I'm not sure why they just didn't go back to monthly street meets a long time ago... with only 3 or 4 major events a year, there is plenty of time to do one street meet a month...

Wouldn't suprise me, there were plenty who turned up for the cruise yesterday and followed on to the drags.
