I've checked with Parramatta Speedway and have been advised that by the time we go out for the Parade lap (around 9pm) the surface will be smooth and dry.  The surface is dirt but will have had many races that will clean the track by the time we go out .

For what its worth our club last did this around '99 and there were no dramas.

I still don't quite have the numbers we've been asked for so if anyone is able to help it would be great.

Parking

For those who are unsure, our cars will be cordoned off on on display at the entrance of the Speedway as spectators walk into the venue.

Any questions, give me a call. ;42

Well, 72Vette has posted our car pics so I'll go straight into the other stuff.

My favourite paint scheme for the night was on this car.


Some warmups early in the evening


The track was a little moist when we got there






Note the concrete in this pic...


And then in this pic after the big boys went out and started clearing the track:

Because 72vet wouldn't post a pic of my car ;37






Another part of the display we were part of.  As much as I have a problem with the concept of a car without brakes on all four wheels this looks like fun.








This one looks a little more intimidating :spook
