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

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

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.
