Yes John, our club use Willowbank in much the same way as you use Kwinana. Our club has basically stopped doing road races, except for our annual Ipswich Open because of the high cost of bringing in traffic controllers. I think our Open this year cost us around $5,000 for traffic control.
Cheers, Mick.
Eastern Creek has been used for at least the last twenty years too and I'm assuming still is ?

Found this on Australian Top Gear, so it's guaranteed to offend and in a bogan like way...:angel:
Yes, Eastern Creek is still used, the Waratah Masters have races there. Fantastic circuit on a pushie
If this guy had a registration number displayed, we'd be able to educate him or the error of his ways.

While he can still be educated.
Didn't know where else to put this story.

The article caught my attention. Thought it was a hoot.
The only differences between this and back when I was a kid is we didn't have helmets and no one had cameras everywhere so we were never caught...Quote:

No wonder cyclists get a bad wrap!!!!

Cyclists obeying road rules, doesn't matter how "aware" you are when they ride under your heavy vehicles back wheels, they lose.

I walk most places. Sometimes I ride the Pushy. Occasionally I'll take the motorcycle for a blat. Or I'll drive my 4wd. I guess most of the population is similar.
I'd like to think I am a "person aware" driver!
