Now with the full blessings of the Maryborough Council they have commenced organizing a sprint event, to be held in the Wide Bay Showground Complex, on the weekend of 24th & 25th June 2006. With a meet the drivers on Friday afternoon the 23rd, between 2 & 8pm.

The track is 963m with a super tight hairpin. The event is open to road registered, non road registered, sports, racing, formula libre, and all wheel drive vehicles. The organizers are expecting entries from the Clubman Car Club of Qld, who are current record holders at Leyburn, Porsches, Ferrari, Cobra's a Chevy Monza, Open Wheelers, Specials, a liberal smattering of WRX�s, V8 Clubman, and the usual Ford, Torana, Escort, Mini, and Corolla punters.

There will be static displays, some from local car clubs, and full catering all weekend. There are camping facilities for competitors and crew with amenities for 104 at the showground, and the township of Maryborough is only 5k away with excellent eateries, clubs and accommodation houses.

Here it is, Channel 7 Wide Bay has asked me to do the TVad, you might get it at the Sunny Coast. I have a double pit so if any XU1s want to come from Brisbane there is a display area. Darren?
