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

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.

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.

AND WE ARE GOING TO LIKE IT.

Heres hoping they have land approval.

[Sinful]

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..

[Damo_R34]

he may have been ok with it 2 years ago, but maybe not now.

[SLED]

err.....2006 dude....he's probably left the country by now

[Weezy]

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.

[TURBZ]

Meh.. I think everyone is sick of hearing "it will be done in 3 months".. They can go stick it for all i care. Heathcote trips and no ANDRA rules ftw!

[mid life crisis]

Pictures like these by chance. Taken about a month ago by a good mate.

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
