yea.
it's a pity all the racing in melb is on sundays, in brisbane there was one stage where you could race friday night, saturday, and sunday in 1 weekend.

I travelled to Knoxfield this weekend and it took me 45minutes with traffic. Jay from Sunbury I wouldnt do it either. Isnt Knox on the opposite weekend to TFTR, I might be wrong.

yea it's on opposite to tftr which clashes with keilor onroad, i think it'd be a bit of a waste to miss keilor onroad since it's my closest track.

From memory when we built the tracks at the Melbourne Showgrounds (how many people remember racing there?) and at the Exhibition Buildings (yes we ran there too!) we used granitic sand to build the tracks?
I might have to call Les Bone, he'll remember, because he organised it!
Bring in the sand, get Tim McClure down from Castlemaine to sculpt it, and we're set!
