Excellent Brad thank's,

 

nice show, and is that the concrete pad for the 1/4 mile launch ( hole )?



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.

The 400m altitude elevation may hinder things a little with slightly less air pressure/density compared to sea level tracks.

Yes I'm well aware of that after spending many years living there. Willowbank is also extremely cold in winter time and has an elevation of approx 50m.

I know that the difference between cairns and the tablelands is that if you have your tune in your car on the rich side in cairns,You will have to lean it out a bit in the tablelands.

Would you believe there have still been objections to noise etc from the 1 or 2 farms in the area.
