Quads will also be included in the speedway after the motoX is finished . This will be under lights and is a nice fast track, only 2 or 3 km from the mx track .
The wingless sprint car guy's said they will be coming back with a few mates also. I won a ride in the two seater version and was most impressed at how quick these things are , they give rides through the night and after the racing is over , they were $150 bucks a throw but everyone got out smiling !!! |

Thanks Brooksy, Track should be nice and moist , they cancelled the weekends practice after an inch of rain last week , trying to keep the moisture in for Easter I'd say !!
Kel wanted to know if many CQ ladies are planning to come for a lap? |

Nominate on the night when we get there , sign the indemnity and round we go
Drags are 75 % go, I just have to make the phone call to confirm 
Are you interested in serenity farm this weekend for a warm up ? |

keep your fluids of the track , run oil/water overflow hoses into a bottle from memory! I still don't have the tyre requirements info , I can't see knobs being a problem to the track ,
I guess leathers might be asked for , I wiil find out
Can anyone add to the list ! |

Been on the blower attempting to get the qaud bikes in the drags , but have hit a brick wall .
ANDRA say definitley no quadbikes , the lady I spoke to said they put forward a proposal once and got knocked back, they just don't want them !
In the end she told me , " won't forget about you's, and I'll get back to you " then hung up the phone before I could give her my number 
On a side note , I asked the MX club if they could do a staggered start for a female class and it will be addressed at this thursday night meeting, I will post an update on this Friday !
To give me some ammo to take to the meeting , how many ladies are interested in riding if they have there own drop of the gates ? |

 yer m8 it can be daunting even for blokes  , kel reckons she enjoys the drag to the corner and then backs off to let the pack go
If we can get a second gate drop she wouldn't essentially be racing the guy's , if anyone was to get lapped it would be in the last lap , more than likely by a exp/pro rider who normally have the decency and the skill to pass safely !
I can't make any promises at this stage , as the club has half of qld's motorbike community showing interest and are looking like they may have to run heats in the open bike class  , hence time restraints  |

I'm probably like most people and can't see how it is any different than running a motox bike on the strip. There was a guy who used to go to the test n tunes at Palmyra drags with I think a CR500 who used to do practically all his runs on the back wheel for the full 1/4 mile. A high 12 verticle wheelie looks pretty impressive.....

testing my memory now I was only a pup, but i'm fairly sure it was near enough to stock except he ran it on methanol. There was also a nitrous IT490 that used to get around Mackay that the cops would have loved to have caught. I remember him 1 night doing 4 laps past a local night club with 2 cop cars in tow

Hey Cam , click on the link above for the Supps , if you have your liscence, or you can nominate and get a one day liscence on the Friday arvo or Saturday morning at sign on and Scrut at the track!
The track is at Ironbark raceway Complex, when you come into Roma , at the top of the hill before town is the Surat Road , take the surat turnoff and you go over the railway and the track turnoff is about a km after that on your left , should be good signage!
Camping and exellent facilities at the track, Motel's will be getting hard to find this close to Easter!
Fast easy flowing track , Ideal for Quads , if I missed anything just ask !
Speedway is a good blast to if you have nothing happening Saturday night, no sheep stations to win just a bit of fun!
have you tested the new shocks yet? |

Postie, not much luck from my drag racing mate. He reckons if you go directly to ANDRA unless you have backing of a large organisation you will get lots of red tape and road blocks and it won't happen in a fortnight. 1 other suggestion, the speedway club here get around a lot of red tape by running Quads as a "Spirited Demonstration" because there is no prize money, trophies or even points kept...
