Hi guys', Just thought you might be interested in the following info regarding some sprint events at QR next year.
I did one of the events this year and can vouch for a great day with heaps of track time on all three circuits for a great price as well.
There are three 'STREET CAR RACE SERIES' included in next years Timeattack days which might be of particular interest to some of you.
I hope to run as many as possible in either my EVO or the widebody when it is finished. Read on: or go here: http://www.timeattack.com.au/

Each date will comprise of three events on the day. The final event on the day will determine the Street Class champion with only the top 6 drivers of each category competing.

The ultimate car and driver combination will be determined by all three of the important elements that make a racer.

1) Quickest Lap: The quickest lap in qualifying is required to take pole position.

Each of these elements will be tested in the format below with the final winner determined in a shoot-out.

Once my car is back on the road in about June next year, I am there. :beer

She comes off the road in January/Feb so these are all out of the question until then.

The fact that these are all on during the week pretty much rules me out to even spectate let alone compete.

Yes the mid week can be an issue for some. That is why I am putting it up early so people might be able to plan for them. I am lucky that one falls during my holidays and the other 2 I will take some time off.
