Thinking about it. Im pretty interested. The track would be just like any given bitumen street from what ive seen out there. You wont be breaking records out there but any reason to give it some gas will do. Not sure if my CAMS licence is even still valid. Josh did you find out if you can get a day licence?

All competing vehicles must be presented to the Scrutineers in a ready to compete condition, including identification numbers on the right hand side of the vehicle, and bear the Scrutineers' �okay' before being permitted to practice or compete. Drivers‟ apparel is to be as per Schedule D of the Current CAMS Manual of Motor Sport and must be presented to the scrutineers for inspection. All vehicles must be fitted with a fire extinguisher as per Schedule H of the Current CAMS Manual All vehicles must conform to the appropriate requirements of Schedules A & B of the NCR. Competitors are reminded of the NCR‟s to roll bar/helmet height regulations. Please note vehicles using tubeless tyres must have safety rims fitted. Fuel must be in accordance with Schedule G of the CAMS Manual. Any vehicle which, after approval, is dismantled or modified in any way which may affect the safety of the vehicle or raise questions as to its eligibility, or is involved in an accident having similar results, must be submitted for re-scrutiny. Any vehicle leaving the pit or paddock area may also be subject to re-scrutiny. Any car or driver may be prohibited from the event for safety reasons. No competitor will be permitted to compete with exposed limbs. Should be the same as mallala chafe. Will need the battery sticker and a 1kg fire extinguisher. Both can be bought from here -> http://www.autosportdirect.com.au/ As said, it's a street style surface but it's the closest thing we have to a drag strip within 8 hours drive.

I'd like to know how this goes. Looked into it for a play, but damn there's so many regs! Seems you need full fire suits, a fire extinguisher, oil cans etc etc etc.
