BDR's relocation is complete. Well, almost anyway .
I just thought I would post some pictures to help wet the appetitie of brisvegas locals... The official opening day will be posted on the clubs' website (http://www.brisbanedirtracing.com) early next week. The frontpage of the clubs website also shows the old track, so you can see why their is a fair amount of excitement about the new facility.
Anyone familiar with the old track would know it was pretty tight and twisty. The new track is 3 times as long and a minnimum of 4 metres wide.
Thanks goes to all those who have helped get the track to this stage. The wait is almost over....
Mate that track is insane. Well done to everyone who put it together! I can't wait til we undergo our changes down here, results should show a nice big and fun track
Thanks There are alot of people up here who are very excited. Brisbane had its first wet summer in years so things got a little behind schedule. But its getting real close now
The pit wall is very unforgiving, but the track id 4m wide there so should be ok. if not I'm sure we can do somthing about it. Just as long as I;m not the first one to hit it!
Yeah talking from experience from down here, any solid walls or parts of the pits tend to break cars frequently. I've seen some of the smallest knocks result in breakages purely because the wall is so hard
The track isn't ready for use just yet. There is a working bee this weekend to hopefully finish everything off, and the first race meet is currently expected to be next Sunday
You can race an rtr buggy with a .28 with no problem at all. Classes are broken into A, B, C etc with new people starting in C and working there way up from there.
From memory you can race three times before being asked to join the club. The track will be locked outside of race meets but members will be able to get a key.
Practice starts around 7:30am with racing strting at 9am Finish time is 2-3pm
You're allowed to race. non-members can show up and race 3 times before they have to sign up.
there is no novice class as such, but normally there are enough buggies that there are a few different heats, and they try to put the newer people in one and better in another. I think the official start is at 9, but you have to show earlier to sign up.
I remember that rule vaguely and doubt it has ever been exercised. Come to think of it I can't even remember the last time a driver has received any form of penalty and that isn't because they are blessed with beautiful human beings ...
More importantly, I was speaking with revochris and he mentioned you are heading to SCORC on Sunday? Myself and a mate will be there with our monsters as well so hopefully we will have enough for our own class.
WOW, that looks awsome. cant beleive i moved back to victoria befor getting the chance to race on this. top work fella's. looks like i will have to bring my buggy up for a spin when we visit next
I finally got to go round this afternoon. Put a couple of packs through the b44 and both it and the track were sensational!
Long straights, long sweepers, jumps (both big and small), changes in elevation, shocked looks on truggy drivers faces as the b44 catches up to them on the shorter straights This complex was well worth the wait!
Ah, ok. No I haven't been on it since Sunday as I don't yet have a key. Don't worry though, you won't be the only one still preparing on raceday. I still haven;t completed running in the TM on my revo yet so will be taking it easy on Sunday.
I think you will probably see an increase in MT numbers this season
