Yeah it was mentioned at the last Berri Car Show - tho even if it goes ahead you do realize its a 3-4 hour drive from Adelaide ;\

And a 3-4 hour drive to any decent hospital for the more serious drag entrants attending :)

on the bright side you could visit the big orange while ya there

Jess your kidding right

no one in there right mind will take there car up there what if you break something

not to mention its a 1/4 the drive to melboure take half a tank of juice to get there just to watch some drags screw that for a joke them if drags finish at 11 you still have a 2-3hr drive home not cool when your already tired

Well could go camping or something there make a weekend of it, but deff not as a regular thing people would go to.

could you imagine the drive home though, 50 odd drag cars cruising along hmmmz

well theyd prob have enough of it and be tired

Hey Jess when i was working in one of the pub i used to work in i was speaking to a family about this (would be at least 3 years ago). there is already an 1/8th mile track up there and they are trying to get it extended to a full 1/4 miletrack. The father of the family was part of the drag racing commitee up there and he said that it was going to cost around the $750,000 to get it extended.

I also have heard some VERY good information about the proposed motorsport park from the brother of one of the members of the consortium, there will be an anouncement in the not to distant furture, AND WE ARE GOING TO LIKE IT.

riverland is a joke

elaborate a lil for us :(

i heard from my sisters cousins mother that lives out there (who all happen to be the same person) that it was going to be a tractor/ride on mower draggin facility.

just messing :P 1/8 mile, how much would 4wd's spank competition there

I was just passing on info :(

It is nice to have choice and maybe SA is finally stepping in the right direction...Like his interstate brothers

See what happens..

I have traveled 8 hrs to do an event from Sydney to Shepparton just for the thrill and fun of it for a weekend away...Loved every minute of it

I have also emailed AMC again as I am trying to get information on a tentative date for AIR opening..

AND WE ARE GOING TO LIKE IT.

c'mon Dale, you tell us, make the neccesary phone calls!

lol Dan, does she play a banjo and howl at the moon too

Just because we love all new information, and no I don't have the pictures mentioned in this passage or writing lol...

Stolen from calaisturbo.com.au which stole it from some other forum I don't know.

the new billboard has been installed due to the new bridge that is being constructed as part of the northern expressway project. that road will become a dead end and the houses that are there have been purchased to be demolished, aswell as a large portion of land around the scrutineering area inside the track. the new entrance will actually be from the opposite side of the raceway with larger improved parking facilities??

i have walked the entire circuit today and snapped some pics on the phone camera. with the approval of the track manager of course who was extremely friendly and quite informative to me. we spent a good 20 mins chatting about when the likely date will be to re-open (yes the million dollar question!!) i can tell you there is a fresh 1340 feet of asphalt which looks a treat! relatively flat with no major cracks through it as was posted a few months back. however that is all that has been done! there is a step up of around 2" from the burnout pad onto the track itself and the same at the deep end. the area from the finish line on has sections missing and the return track has been completely dug up (rubble down waiting for asphalt).

it is anticipated that within the next 2-3 months work will re-commence inside the track once the expressway work is done and racing WILL return shortly after. they are sick to death of doing nothing out there and yes they all read the internet forums and know what's being said about them so action is underway.

Thanks.

All this talk makes me angry, if I dont think about it then I don't get mad... Easier to just let that fat cvnt do what hes going to do and see how it goes, no point speculating.

Yeah Blob Jane will just sit on it till he drops off the perch, then it'll get sold off and turned into housing or something.

Obviously he doesn't see it as being very profitable hence the taking the time getting it ready. I would be a bit hesitant to dump s loads of money into it as well. I'm under the impression it wasn't a gold mine previously, if it was it would be finished by now. who would be saying no take ya time fixing that guys i dont want to make money. There weren't that many people there the few times I went maybe enough to make a small profit but nothing spectacular.

do you single handed hold bob lame responsible for a whole buisness shutting the doors, id say attendance was an issue along with other factors.

but i dont attend there board meetings so i wouldnt know

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
    • FYI: Racebox RE7R Custom Tunes Released!   https://goracebox.com/.../2017-infiniti-q50-q60-re7r-tcm...   FOR GEN 2 (21+) VEHICLES, PLEASE SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM See more   But whomever tuned your car is the tuner you should go back to, AMS, Sonictune or BT Tune....
