    Unless they resurface the WHOLE TRACK and not just the PIT ENTRY, along with much nicer bike and rider friendly "run off areas", I won't be getting my ass down there whatsoever.

    I'm told they very recently finally removed all the broken concrete blocks and bits of rebar from the outfield. The dad of a racer had to go out and pick it all up, with a bobcat or something. It was the issue standing in the way of MA ratifying the track, and they needed it done before they could run ASBK there. It's still as uneven as a minefield, but at least you should now avoid being impaled on some rebar.

    And am I the only one that finds this information horrifying?? I had no idea those dangers lurked in the grass.

    That's bordering on criminal. There is no reason that stuff like that should be out there.

    That's pretty bad... I had no idea either but I'm also horrified that MA/AASA ratified it EVER then!

    MA didn't! It's the reason they refused to license it. AASA on the other hand.

    Scandalous that they'd only bother their arse when 'proper' racing was happening!
    It might not be as much as an issue for a car but for us, that's life and death!

    That's terrible. I hope that one day, CASAR park and the Nowra track somehow happen. Until then, the lack of competition means they can get away with that.

    I'm kind of intimidated to ride there to be honest, after doing recovery at ASBK. I think I just have to put that shit out of my mind and enjoy the track on the weekend.

    How big are the carports? Is that where the 600 clubsport guys were at ASBK?

    Hopefully see a few of you down there!
