Anyone been to this as either a spectator or competitor? -  75km from Toowoomba

Apparently it is the birthplace of the first AGP in 1949.

They run a street circuit of about 1km around the old town/pub etc.

Mid August..might be a bit chilly?

First AGP was at Phillip Island in 1928, won by an Austin 7. The AGP was held at Leyburn in 1949 and the sprints commemorate that event.

Been there quite a few times.Fantastic week end, the wide variety of car is immense from the 1920s thru to the eighties and the atmosphere is great having a beer in front of the pub watching the cars roll up to the start line.

Yep, it was the 1st time an AGP was in QLD. ( not the first AGP, my mistake there)
