I went up to Katoomba to take a couple of pics of the old Catalina track yesterday incase it gets torn up before I return from the UK. It seems to be doing a fairly good job of tearing itself up... bit of a shame I think.

So for those who know of it here's a couple of pics

Can you drive on it?

Well i'll be damned, didn't have a clue their was an old track up in that section of Katoomba but then again it took me 6mths to realise where the swimming/gym complex was

By the looks of those pics that track actually has a better road surface than half the side streets in the area

What a shame.

That was said too be an awsome track from the people I've spoken too about it. I think it was used last by the NSW Mini Club about 3 years ago.

We can all thank the do-gooder environmentalists for that track being closed down.

AndyMac - do you any more about its last use by any chance?

Would be a good place to ride my Pocket Bike

i work with a guy who put his mini through that wooden fence backwards

he loves the picks s

Just been looking up some old school pics of that track. Looks like it would have been a whole lot of (dangerous) fun back in its day.

Would you mind posting them up?

oran park will look like that soon (briefly before it gets torn up). amaroo park is gone too.

I heard that they had a 5 or 10year extension... so hopefully not for a few years!

Yeah, what is the planned exact date for Oran being demolished?

i have NFI, people have been saying 1-2 years for about 3 years now.

whos got an angle grinder to cut through the fence, get 30 skylines in there in the middle of the night and initial drift spec the old track

Looks like it would be fun is it fenced off.(pocket bikes)

^^^^ i got the bolt cutters

Yeah I'm pretty sure I heard correctly from one of the boys at Ian Luff.
