That is good news!!!

As much as I hate the mexicans, I'm glad that Winton picked up the property!!!

At least we can be semi sure it's going to remain a race track!

don't be so sure......u never know, the gay mexicans might wanna build up some housing development for their empoverished people

I am quite happy to speak on behalf of Winton, the race track will stay a race track. It will be business as usual, Winton and WP have shared the same racing philosophies for years.

Winton (and now WP) is owned by Benalla Auto Club, just an ordinary fairly conservative RURAL car club like many others around Australia, this is not a bunch of corporate raiders

Their belief is to bring AFFORDABLE motorsport back to the people, to take control of their own destiny.

You wil be happy with the ownership and the way the place is managed.

Oran Park has already been sold from what I've heard.

It's in the contract to leave them there for another 2 years I think it is, and he's basically being forced out by the government, due to complaints.

Ahhh, the Government. Close racetracks across Australia, then complain and take knee-jerk measurements to curb the road-toll and number of injuries suffered on our roads...

Maybe if they implemented COMPULSORY DRIVER TRAINING and utilised the facilities already available to us, then we would have better drivers (in general), lower the road-toll of injuries and fatalities, and (OK, it's a long shot, but here it goes) reduced insurance premiums!

Oh well, at least Wakefield is staying with us for some time...

One of the upgrades at Wakefield Park in the next 12 months will be the resurfacing of the 2.2km track with a hotmix surface which will be beneficial to the many different motor sport disciplines which compete at Wakefield Park.

Thats allways good to hear.ive allways thought,as i suppose allot of people have,that wakefield could do with a resurface.

thats so true...

They should do what the americans do.and that is make driver training compulsory in high school.

Yeah I love how they build houses near OP and then the people move in there, knowing full well there is a racetrack next door, then they complain about the noise and it gets shut down.

It's the same thing with live music in the city. People move in next door to a pub that has been open for 100 years and playing live music for 30 then have the hide to complain about the noise and drunk people. Then crazily the governments place massive restrictions on the pubs and they are forced out.

grumble grumble

Someone correct me if I'm wrong,,,,but I don't remember OP being closed because of noise. From my understanding OP was sold for no other reason than housing.

Why resurface WP,,,that would only take all the caracter(spelling?) out of the place. If you can't handle the bumps going into the lead-on then learn to sort your car out better. Please leave the track as it is.

Hot mix the southern and northern pit areas instead. Another idea would be to roof the pit lane crew area,,, it gets bloody hot and cold for the poor fools pitting.

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
