Tomorrow, July 2, we will be having a packing up working bee to clean out the shed for Agfest. We will start approx 9.30am.
Even if you can only stay a little while it all helps so come and lend a hand.
Yes it is racing again this Friday night for what we think is the last time before the Agfest move out (being confirmed now).
So gates open at 6, racing starts at 7. We had good numbers last race meet so let’s see how many people we can get there for our maybe last race meet.
I know I am keen to get my truck out again for an outlaw class outing, but time will tell if there is enough trucks.
So charge up your batteries, get your fresh tyres, dial in your suspension and let’s get racing!
Firstly, my apologies but the week has gotten away from me, I should have posted this days ago.
Racing is once again on a Sunday with doors opening at 11 for practice with the re4st of the day following as below
11:00am – Doors open for Practice
12:00am – Beginners Session starts (Free of Charge)
12:30 – Lunchtime
1:00 – Racing starts
Keep in mind this may be the last race before the Agfest 2 month break, but we are yet to hear confirmation from Rural Youth on dates, so keep an eye open for that, as well as the pack out and pack in working bees at either end of the break.
Apologies for the delayed notification but Rural youth only just approved our dates for June.
As usual doors open around 6 with racing starting after the drivers briefing at 7pm at the Uniquely Tasmanian Pavilion, Quercus Park. So get some batteries charging, freshen up the oil in your shocks and let’s race!!
Also as a heads up, the following race meet will be another Sunday meet after getting solid numbers at the last meet, this will be in 2 weeks time on the 19th of June, 2022
