just got an email from the Short Circuit Motor Sport Assn announcing dates for the Preston Peak Wines Sprint Challenge and Short Circuit Touring Car Series at Carnell Raceway Stanthorpe)this year:

May 28-19

Oct 29-30

Carnell is a short circuit track, 1.1km of tight twisty technical stuff. Very good fun. Suits AWD cars very well as they can put power down out of the tight corners. Also gives the cars that handle well a good chance.

There's 2 events running in conjunction with each other -

1)The Sprints are run to proper (ie QLD ) Supersprint rules. 4 cars on the track (because its such a short track), starting in pairs from a standing start. Run 4 laps. Results are based on the total time for the 4lap session. Timing starts when you leave the start line. You can either race head to head with the other car, or wait a few seconds then go.

Categories are as per CAMS Manual, but sensibly they don't enforce restrictors for turbo cars in Improved Production - at least they didn't when I ran there in 2008 & 2009. Its very laid back.

2)The Short Circuit Touring Cars is proper racing. Short Circuit rules & regs here:

this will give you a bit of an idea what the sprints are like in a very fast WRX:
