Just thought I'd post this up here (copied from performanceforums). Spread the word to any mates who might be interested in this too!!! Shell

Hi all, this is a lift from the "Cackling Pipes" website. It was a post by Geoff Develin, the manager of the former Canberra International Dragway.

Canberra protest is GO

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arrangements for the protest rally in Canberra have been finalised with the Police and Governments departments.

The V8 race in Canberra has been axed by the Government so this is our chance to show strength and get the allocated V8 funding diverted to a new Dragway facility.

Tuesday 20 August.

Vehicles assemble on Phillip Avenue which is an intersection with Northbourne Avenue (main road into Canberra from Sydney) near the Natex centre where the Summernats is held. Assembly time from 10.00am and depart at 11.30am for procession to the Legislative Assembly building (home of the politicians).

The Legislative Assembly building is located on London Circuit in the centre of the City. Demonstraton will take place from 12.00 noon till 2.00pm so we need as many bodies in attendance as possible.

Dedicated info line is 0407-225067.

Please let everyone know that this is a happening thing and that Championship Drag Racing in Australia needs your support for this rally. We desperately need another track on the eastern seaboard.

It worked in Sydney and it WILL work in Canberra.

We need transporters, trailers, hot rods, street machines and any other vehicles to participate.

Please also bring banners, flags, signs.

Thankyou

Geoff Develin
