Sounds great. What time do you normally start? Do you have a BBQ on for lunch?

Yep Dal is right, first and third Sunday of each month starting Feb 4 (start around 9am but 8.30 is a good time to get there) . Look forward to seeing you guys there.

P.S. Hope a BBQ will be run'n, but if not Darby's Pies is just up the road.

hey badbilly,
the track is behind netball courts which are behind the edgworth bowling club.
You can even buy some chineese from the bowls club for lunch.
There is plenty of trees for shade, I think they run 540, or maybe just stock, and also nitro pull and nitro open.
Great blokes all there for some fun, watch out for DJ, he will punt you off the trak first chance, lol.
Not sure about 240v, I think they run a lead from the amenities to the track,

Everyone is welcome to come and have a run. Please kep in mind that we do not run transponders so we do manul lap scoring. We run 5 x 5min heats with no final.

Nitros can run anything from 37sh to 42sh depending on your driving style / preference. Electric can run on rubber or foam, batteries are open.

Come and have a good time, i would advise you to bring a shade if possible during these summer months otherwise you will need to keep moving your table to stay in the shade of the trees.

We're all friendly as long as Dal lets Simon win, he's just about the only one run'n a Serpent in OZ so we like ta encourage him by let'n him win lol

To answer badbilly's question no 240v power and no 540 class as the track is way to big and open. Wack a stock in it and hold on, you should have a ball, no sheep stations with us!

hey guy's,
Where you park your cars, is there a gap in the fence for a wheelchair to get through? I went to see where you guy's race the other day, but it doesn't look like there was a gap.
cheers.

For wheeelchair access you can take your car on the other side of the soccer grounds. Mark Graham is the club president and can assist with access if you find the gate is locked. I'm sorry but we do not have access onto the drivers stand for you so you will need to bring your own stand or drive from ground level.

Set up on the day. It only takes 20 minutes if a couple of people help.
