You tried your best mate,those photos aren't to bad. There is nothing good about QLD raceway.

It is the only circuit I have been to where there is no grass just birt every were It's not good when you are trying to fix a broken race car & to get a garage they want big money. It is also themost expensive track to race at

I can't stand the place, It's a **** track,**** facilities,Half the speakers at the back of the track didn't work so you had no idea what the hell was going on. Pit facilities were crap,Driving in from Logan you had two tolls to pay just to get there,rubbish food(rip-off prices). Yet you can go to Laidley street sprints and its a MUCH better run event. Morgan park or Lakeside are the places to race good tracks,good people,well organised,fair prices,Just better places to be.

Not long before i left Brisbane the Mt Coot tha hill climb/sprint had just restarted,Wow what an event! Gentleman Jim was there in his Targa Tasmania Porsche and was just so happy to be around the fans,what a top bloke.

I see in Sunday's paper Wagners are building a circuit in Toowoomba & look like having the V8's racing there in 2016 which will give Qld 4 races a year, but then Qld Raceway only has 2 years remaining on there contract & unless they do some safety & other improvements they may loose the V8's. They said the track is designed by Mark Skaife & will have elevation & be a rival to Bathurst . It will be built beside the new Toowoomba airport so should not have a noise restriction problem.

I read somewhere recently that Tetley who owns Qld Raceway makes more money from track days and ride days than from v8sc, especially considering the money they expect him to cough up for upgrades etc.

That's the word in car race circles .
