Understandable. The track will clean up with cars running on it after a bit of time, but the sugar water brings the track up straight away, you run 1/12 on it as soon as its dry.

This better not be an April fools prank, I will be sorely dissapointed.....

I completely under stand but I need to make you aware that the initial re setup of the club is coming out of pretty much 2 pockets so we are waiting to see our position as far as support from the racer and this is not a prank I have been think we may go racing in as little as 2weeks if all goes well so stay tuned guys

I wanted to get the club back up but could not get the financial backing. The grip is not bad considering the lack of racing. One of our GFY racers is in a wheel chair, he wants to race at Whalan but access to the drivers stand is not viable at this time. He is happy to help the new committee with council and disability people to try and get some money to help him get access to the stand. We as a group are willing to help build something for him and any other wheelchair bound drivers.

This is all stuff we need to at in the near future once the club is successfully running.

We will advise after this weekend as the condition of the loop and our first race day

Damn - I had a leave pass approved. Probably the right decision though
