Build it and they will come. This has been a long needed and overdue facility for the entire top half of the state. The nearest strip is a 16 hour round trip... if your not towing a car on a trailer.....

Ooops..bit off topic there for some unknown reason...someone tried to get a track open on a disused WW2 runway in Mareeba back in the early 80's for a strip but it never eventuated.Thanks to Bruno who did the ground work over the past few years that it is now a go ahead..not sure of time frame...my calendar is out of date.

I used to work for a guy who wanted to build a drag strip in QLD, I wonder if he has anything to do with it?

Great turnout today from members and the general public to the first open day to preview the development of the track and facilities. Hopefully everyone continues to support it. Really looking forward to attending in the future.
Good sized burnout pad with return road being used as a tip in run up road.
